This video is about Aboriginal Title. And the film was made in 2007. Jack talks about British Colombia being called the Indian Territories before 1858 when they changed the name to British Colombia. He also mentions that Aboriginal Title does exist in the province. Because of Aboriginal Title no one should really be going into any big business because they could end up being in debt to the first nations who actually own the land they are about to buy or rent.
I don't know of any similar situations going on within my community. And I had no idea that there was any Aboriginal Title yet within Canada.
The main character on this film is Jack Woodward, he's the only character on this film.
I was so happy to finally see a non-native agreeing that this is all native land and always has been. It was also good to hear that B.C. government also agrees.
Its amazing to see how different the government system is from both ends of the country. They seem more understanding in the west than here in the east.
The First Nations in this province are on the right path and after watching this I start to feel hope again.
