First Nations’ Specific Claims

Righting Historical Wrongs for First Nations

Specific claims are historical claims made by First Nations against the Government of Canada. We draft and review specific claims to address Indigenous communities’ historical grievances against the federal government. When these claims are accepted for negotiation, we negotiate these claims with Canada. Where these claims are not accepted for negotiation, we also represent First Nations before the Specific Claims Tribunal. This work is funded through contribution funding and loan funding from Canada in accordance with agreed upon workplans and budgets.
