Comprehensive Claims

Requests for consolidated land are related to Canada's incomplete treaty development work. These charges usually occur in the Canadian region. Here, the rights of the land are not yet handled by treaties or other legal means. In these areas negotiations on future prospects (also called "modern treaties") between indigenous peoples and Canada and provinces or territories.

These treaties are enforced through law and continue to be the most comprehensive way to solve indigenous rights and ownership. Achieving more treaties is an important element for achieving sustainability and true reconciliation. This includes the certainty of ownership, the use and management of land and resources by all parties. Some treaties also include provisions on autonomy of indigenous peoples. The rights stipulated in the Convention are protected by the Constitution

Since 1973, Canada and its negotiating partners have signed 26 comprehensive land claims and 4 autonomy agreements. Of the 26 contracts signed, 18 includes provisions on autonomy.

Comprehensive assertion negotiations are a long and difficult process that will take years to complete. From 1975 to 2009, a total of 22 comprehensive claims contracts were concluded in the north of Quebec, Northwest Territory, Yukon, British Columbia. These are commonly known as "modern treaties". The two most important agreements concluded were the Nunavut Agreement and the Nisga Agreement. The Nanuwart Land Claims Agreement was signed in 1993 and is the first Inuit of Canada's Inuit and founded the foundation for the establishment of the Nunavut region on April 1, 1999. In British Columbia more than a year ago, Nisga'a's agreement was approved by Nisga'a, Canada and British Columbia after billing for more than a century and negotiations for 24 years. The final agreement of Nisga'a in 2000 was the first modern treaty in British Columbia.

1976 - The federal government adopted "comprehensive land requirement policy". According to the comprehensive billing policy, Canada can only negotiate six land claims at any time, there is only one claim in each state. In British Columbia, negotiations with the Nisca countries began without involvement of the state government of British Columbia. The land requirement of Nisga'a is the only requirement in BC State. We will begin with integrated claim policy (State Department). September 15, 1995 - After three days of intensive negotiations, Canada and the British Columbia State Government agreed on the overall method of allocating treaty negotiation costs and the province would open a way back to Nice (Territory) It was.
