The Supreme Court of Canada rules 8 to 0 that the Tsilhqot'in First Nation holds aboriginal title to 1,750 square kilometres near Williams Lake B C, marking the first such ruling and shaping future land claims and energy project approvals including pipelines. The decision demands consent for development or a strong fiduciary case, while provincial law remains applicable within constitutional limits.
