@Mannanan Sen̓áḵw for Cowichan?
The Cowichan decision does not demand the surrender of fee-simple lands, it demands Richmond and Prov of BC negotiate a resolution.
I'm guessing if the Cowichan were offered publicly owned land that could establish what Squamish were provided to establish a Cowichan "Sen̓áḵw", that issue would be resolved.
But Richmond and Prov of BC would rather force years of uncertainty than to face the responsibility history has laid at their feet.
Cowichan housing success would lay bare Richmond and the prov's inability to resolve these issues.

The breathtaking hypocrisy of the howls for “rule of law”
For most of Canada’s history, the rule of law has been openly flouted when it comes to Indigenous land and rights.

@Mannanan
The conservative voices vilifying the Cowichan decision, arguing it removes property rights is full of contradictions.The court established that the Cowichan tribe proved they had exclusively occupied Lulu Island for generations, -> "owned"
In arguing against the Cowichan, conservative voices are saying government should have the right to take control of land who's use and ownership is established and obvious. and use if for their own gain?
Isn't this precisely the opposite of conservative philosophy?
The property rights noise is a pathetic effort to game ignorance anger prejudice and division for political gain.

Will Canadians follow the call to willful ignorance?
The Cowichan ruling isn’t a threat to private property
"The ruling does not undermine or invalidate the rights of any landowners who were not parties to the case.
Instead, the court directed the federal and provincial governments to negotiate with the Cowichan about how to reconcile Aboriginal title with existing fee-simple title. "
It’s a call for governments to face their obligations to Indigenous Peoples, but owners outside the case won’t suddenly lose their deeds.

From the archives: Interurban Tram 74 BCER and others awaiting scrapping, 1953.
A shame that the Metro Vancouver Interurban Tram system was completely scrapped in the fifties to make room for roads. Decades later the Skytrain system rebuilt some of these routes but at a much higher price point because of the elevated tracks.
