BC is ultimately compromised because they didn't sign treaties when they could have. These legal rights for BC first nations have been a long time coming, and ultimately the law is the law. This ruling affects fairly narrow sections of urban areas and it's a manageable risk. Outside of urban areas, it means more rights and sharing of crown territory than otherwise.

To say we should ignore the law because its in the favor of first nations is pretty racist and bigoted IMO. The law in symmetric - in jurisdictions where treaties were signed, we abide by treaty terms in which first rations gave up much of their land to the crown. In jurisdictions where treaties were never signed, natives have larger land claims (because they were here first).

If the crown gave away land that legally belonged to natives, the crown will need to either compensate the first nations or compensate the landowners for illegal land sales. It wont be cheap.
