I have a in law who is working for the First nations on this subject.He mentioned the concern over being able to produce enough evidence of legal owner ship of the first nations through their own written history . on how they came to aquire the land. Had they come into the land and no one was here, did they take it by force? Did they barter for the land? . His main concern is the link First nations share DNA link with Siberian ancestors. It may sound obtuse but It does set precedent and questionable doubt could be set with how the land was obtained.
