Tsilhqot'in First Nation granted B.C. title claim in Supreme Court ruling
Significantly:
?Economic development on land where title is established has the consent of the First Nation.
?Failing that, the government must make the case that development is pressing and substantial, and meet its fiduciary duty to the aboriginal group.
This gives the first nations who have title a virtual veto over use of their land.
Then give it back.
. . .to the Clovis people.

Yep. Might be a double edged sword that drives away development in the end.
Then give it back.

Actually, I'm now waiting for the next band to step in with a land claim of previous occupation. See how that one plays out.
What the natives will now expect:

Could be. I'm hoping it provides the impetus for a modern day treaty with the Chilcotin.

I'm waiting for everyone to realize that this argument is circular and will never end until people decide to end it. Then we can get on with what needs to be done.
The first people, who may have been European, got supplanted by the Clovis people; who got replaced by the "First Nations", and the Siberian Thule who probably wiped out the Dorset people and tossed out the Vikings; all of whom were tossed aside by European settlers.
'Who was first' is mostly irrelevant to 'who is here now' and 'what needs to be done for our future'.

I ebelive one wag at another site put it: "Fighting over who owns the land is like fleas fighting over who owns the dog."
The first and foremost rule in the minds of everyone should be: "We are both here. Neither European (and other) settlers or the First Nations peoples are going anywhere."

AFAIK, this isn't just about the Chilcotin, but all of BC. This could get very very serious. Time for a constitutional amendment.

Yeah, that was my take as well. I would imagine the BC government is losing its shit right now. At least that'll save the province the lawyers fees in land claims since it seems the Feds want to step in.
"Symbolic"? Sure.
What the natives will now expect:
The thing is they always expect that and eventually the Government caves in, Fuck 7 Billion a year let's give them more.
