About Land Claims

Ontario may become involved in an Aboriginal land claim because:

• It had a role in the historical events giving rise to the claim.
• The claim involves assertions of rights to Crown lands, natural resources or private property.

Negotiations are an effective way to address the legal, constitutional and practical issues that arise with land claims.
