Cases of Multiple Surveys Clause Samples

Cases of Multiple Surveys. Since treaty land entitlement research began in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the 1970s, prairie First Nations have advanced the principle that entitlement should “grow or shrink indefinitely along with band population” until full allocation is achieved. In 1975 the President of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians wrote to the Minister of Indian Affairs: Should a band have received insufficient land based on the Treaty formula at the original survey, its full entitlement to land shall be determined by its population as determined by the annuity paysheets and band lists at the time that confirmation of additional reserve land is made. This formula is to be used until such time as the band receives its full entitlement to land under the Treaty based on its population as shown by the latest annuity payment and most current band list prior to the confirma- tion of the parcel to give that band full entitlement to land under the treaty. 176 172 ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Multiple Surveys Report, p.

B1). In January 1978 the Indian Association of Alberta included a similar state- ment in its position paper on entitlement: The position of the Indian Association of Alberta is based on the previous practice and precedents of the Canadian and Alberta governments and it is that until the total entitlement of a band has been granted, the entitlement should continue to increase in relation to the population of the band. . . .
