Agricultural Land Entitlement
The FN alleges that there was a shortfall in reserve lands received under Treaty 8. The FN received additional lands in 1965 to compensate for an increase in population and poor quality lands. This additional land was surveyed in 1958 and the FN feels they should have been compensated based on the 1958 band population, not the 1955 population. FN asserts that Canada has misapplied the terms of Treaty 8; a breach of fiduciary duty on the part of the Crown resulting from its failure to advise individuals of the severalty option in Treaty 8; and a shortfall in land entitlement since members of the FN were not given the option of taking land in severalty at 160 acres per person.
