After 12 years of negotiations, the Musqueam Indian Band of British Columbia has signed a treaty framework with the Canadian and provincial governments.
But Musqueam Chief Ernie Campbell said the government must act in good faith if the treaty process is to continue. A B.C. court had to halt the sale of Musqueam traditional land because the band hasn't been consulted.
The band owns some of most prized real estate in Vancouver and its traditional lands include expensive properties.
