Cowichan部落的土著产权主张使Richmond的私人土地所有权无效,引发了上诉和财产权问题。 Cowichan Tribes' Aboriginal title claim invalidates private land titles in Richmond, sparking appeals and property rights concerns.

里士满市于10月28日举行会议, 通知受公元前公约影响的地产所有者。 The City of Richmond is holding a meeting on October 28 to inform property owners affected by a B.C. 最高法院的裁决承认Cowichan部落土著人拥有约7.5平方公里的土地, Supreme Court ruling recognizing Cowichan Tribes’ Aboriginal title to about 7.5 square kilometres of land, invalidating prior private land titles. 市、省和穆斯凯姆第一民族正在上诉的这一裁决源于法院的裁决,即王室授予的产权不公正地侵犯了土著人的权利,需要通过谈判、诉讼或购买来解决。 The decision, which the city, province, and Musqueam First Nation are appealing, stems from the court’s finding that Crown-granted titles unjustly infringed on Indigenous rights, requiring resolution through negotiation, litigation, or purchase. 虽然第一民族并没有试图宣布私人所有权无效,但这一裁决引起了居民和官员对财产权和法律不确定性的关切。 While the First Nation didn’t seek to invalidate private ownership, the ruling has sparked concern among residents and officials over property rights and legal uncertainty. 上诉程序预计需要一至两年时间,如果最高法院提出上诉,可能会进一步拖延。 The appeal process is expected to take one to two years, with possible further delays if a Supreme Court appeal follows. 官员敦促受影响居民与当选代表联系,支持强有力的法律辩护,告诫最高法院不要提及可产生不具约束力的抽象结果。 Officials urge affected residents to contact elected representatives to support a strong legal defense, cautioning against a Supreme Court reference that could yield a non-binding, abstract outcome.
