The Nuchatlaht First Nation wanted title over an area of Crown land that included a portion of Nootka Island and surrounding coastline.

Myers said in his decision that the case demonstrates “the peculiar difficulties of a coastal Aboriginal group meeting the current test for Aboriginal title, given the marine orientation of the culture.”Article content
