Inquiry into the Claim of the Homalco Indian Band

Historical background, submissions and recommendations from the Indian Claims Commission hearing to decide three issues: was lawful obligation breached in the allotment process for Aupe Indian Reserve 6 and 6A, did Canada have an obligation to obtain land requested by the Band in 1907 and did the Crown fail to protect settlement lands from a pre-emption claim. ICC found a loss to the Band of 9.62 acres and recommended that Aupe IR6 and IR6A claim be accepted under the Specific Claims Policy.
