  1. April 2, 2026 judgment High confidence

    The B.C. Court of Appeal declared Nuchatlaht Aboriginal title over the full claim area of roughly 210 square kilometres on Nootka Island.

    The court rejected an overly site-specific test and reaffirmed a territorial approach to occupation. The decision changes legal risk and negotiation leverage in land and resource decisions within the title area.

This is a record of what has been reported from public sources, not a description of this Nation's affairs. It is deliberately selective and makes no claim to be complete.
