#Nuchatlaht case resumes after break with BC Gov lawyer Echols talking about how “the question at hand is about evidence, not law. The Aboriginal must prove substantial connection to the land under claim.” Then refers to #Delgamuukw case
Referring Marshall & Bernard, brings up not only substantial connection to the land, also “continuity” of connection, & the colonial legal requirement to show that the rights of title flows from inhabitants/rights holders then & now having continuity from date of sovereignty.
Experts from BC gov: 1) Morley Eldridge (3 response reports to Jacob Earnshaw and John Dewhurst and Dr. Chelsea Armstrong. Also 2) Joan Lovisek (spelling?) (with 5 original & response reports to Earnshaw, Dewhurst, Armstrong) & 3) Dr David Lin (of the Global Footprint Network)
.@MurrayRankinNDP knows the current conflict in the Wet’suwet’en has a root cause - the @bcndp’s policy decision to proceed with #LNGCanada and the #CGL pipeline. Period. 1/ #bcpoli #wetsuweten

The @bcndp understands the conflict over land title, @MurrayRankinNDP himself referenced the SCC’s #Delgamuukw decision. Despite that they made a choice to work with some and not others. 2/ #bcpoli #wetsuweten
By the time everyone was invited to the table the pipeline was already deeply entrenched as the focal point of conflict. The @bcndp wanted #LNGCanada & #CGL pipeline and they chose to ignore the complex governance issues created by successive Crown gov’ts. 3/ #bcpoli #wetsuweten
