| Historical note | Frank Calder is famous for the court case titled "Calder vs. Attorney General of British Columbia." By appealing the case all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, Calder established that Aboriginal title exists in modern Canadian law. This decision had national and international reverberations. In addition, it was the basis of BC's Nisga'a treaty. Before the Calder Case, there was no clear process for negotiating Canadian land claim settlements. Calder clarified which lands were negotiable (40% of Canada's land mass) and which were not. After the case, Canada developed a land claim policy to guide negotiations. | |
| Scope and content | The author, Deputy Attorney General of Saskatchewan, gives his personal views on the Calder vs. Attorney General of British Columbia legal case that established that Aboriginal title exists in modern Canadian law. The Calder case related to the Nishgas (Nisga'a) land claim in northwestern British Columbia. Item found within folder 'XXXII-39'. | |
