The Supreme Court of Canada will hear a case about a First Nation's claim to title over a swath of Nootka Island.
The Nuchatlaht First Nation brought a claim for Aboriginal title to about 200 square kilometres of the island, which lies off the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The trial judge found the Nuchatlaht had established title over only portions of the claimed area.
The First Nation challenged the decision in the British Columbia Court of Appeal.
In April, the Court of Appeal found the trial judge used an "arbitrary boundary" to determine title.
A three-judge panel of the Appeal Court said the Nuchatlaht identified territory it exclusively occupied and used for hunting, fishing and gathering activities, and presented other evidence that established its "strong presence on or over the land claimed."

The Supreme Court of Canada says it will hear an appeal of Ottawa's ban on single-use plastics.
The Federal Court of Appeal overturned a lower court decision in January, allowing the federal government to keep the ban in place.
A 2023 Federal Court decision in a case brought by the plastics industry said Ottawa had overstepped by designating all “plastic manufactured items” as toxic.
But in a unanimous decision in January, the three-judge appellate panel ruled the federal government’s decision to list plastic manufactured items as toxic was reasonable.
Ottawa used that designation to issue a ban on the manufacturing and importing of six types of single-use plastics, including straws, grocery bags, stir sticks and the six-pack rings used to hold soda and beer cans.
The government said it chose those items because they were commonly found in litter and had known and accessible alternatives.

SeatGeek Canada is facing two more fines from the Ontario government for allegedly contravening a recent law capping the sale of event tickets at face value.
The province's consumer beware website shows the new fines issued to the ticket resale website earlier this month total $22,500 collectively.
The website says the first of the two fines amounts to $15,000 and is for allegedly making a ticket available for sale or facilitating a sale of a seat beyond the resale price limit.
The second fine is for $7,500 and is for allegedly failing to disclose the total price of a ticket when a seat was purchased from a primary seller.
The province and SeatGeek Canada did not immediately respond to questions about what events the fines stem from or whether the reseller will fight the penalties.
The province previously issued $25,000 in fines to the company in August for similar offences.
