Major land claims ruling says B.C. Indigenous group has claim to a portion of city and port lands
August 8, 2025
A British Columbia First Nation has won a major court victory, with a judge declaring it has title to a portion of land in the Vancouver area that includes currently active industrial operations on the Fraser River.
Justice Barbara Young of the B.C. Supreme Court declared the Cowichan Tribes “have established Aboriginal title” to roughly 800 acres in the City of Richmond, as well as an Aboriginal right to fish for food. Her 863-page ruling – from a trial that stretched 513 days over five years, from 2019 to 2023 – was issued Thursday and published online Friday.

Ms. Didulo appeared in a video tour of her Richmound, Sask., base Thursday, expressing her disbelief that Mounties slashed the tires of eight RVs and a handful of trucks at the decommissioned school, which her group has occupied for the past two years.
