'Pure joy' over Cowichan title ruling, First Nation chief says
Lyackson First Nation Chief Shana Thomas's nation is part of the Cowichan Tribes, which recently won a landmark ruling in B.C. Supreme Court that grants it Aboriginal title in the Richmond, B.C., area. While the ruling is expected to be appealed, Thomas says the ruling validated the truth that her nation's elders had been sharing for generations, and there had been a denial of the tribes' rights to their territory.
