Case quote

Put simply, Canada’s Aboriginal peoples were here when Europeans came, and were never conquered. Many bands reconciled their claims with the sovereignty of the Crown through negotiated treaties. Others, notably in British Columbia, have yet to do so. The potential rights embedded in these claims are protected by s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. The honour of the Crown requires that these rights be determined, recognized and respected.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, for the Supreme Court of Canada, in Haida Nation v. British Columbia (Minister of Forests), 2004 SCC 73, at para. 25.
