Madawaska First Nation fought for recognition of land claim for more than 20 years
Nov 30, 2017
A First Nation in northwestern New Brunswick is celebrating a hard-fought legal victory in its claim to land encompassing most of downtown Edmundston.
Canada’s Specific Claims tribunal said Wednesday that the Madawaska Maliseet First Nation’s claim to the 3,900 acres, or more than 1,575 hectares, was valid.
The band has been fighting for this recognition since 1996.
The independent tribunal, established in 2008, is a joint initiative of the federal government and Assembly of First Nations for resolving monetary claims made by First Nations more expeditiously.
