“Overlapping claims” to territory confronting treaty‐making in British Columbia: Causes and implications

Abstract

Key Messages Overlapping Aboriginal claims to territory often result from variously constituted indigenous political identities and the diverse spatialities they enact. Settling treaties in contested areas can privilege Aboriginal groups that settle treaties first, to the detriment of groups with overlapping claims. Ordinary courts have struggled to find a remedy; an Indigenous Territories Commission is suggested for addressing such disputes.
