First Nation sues BC for land rights, claiming province's actions caused harm without consent.

The Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation, whose ancestors first met European explorers 250 years ago, is suing British Columbia for title to about 430,000 hectares of land and financial compensation. The claim argues that the province has made decisions affecting their territory without their consent, leading to significant cultural, environmental, and economic harm. The lawsuit does not challenge private landowners, homeowners, or recreational operators.
