 | | The promise of schools on reserve in many Treaties is seen by First Nations as a commitment to provide education for their children; the promise of a medicine chest in one Treaty has been held by the courts to be a promise of health services. | | | As of January, 1996, there is a case under reserve by the Court which deals with the issue of whether a salmon fishery in British Columbia is part of the lands reserved for the community at the time they were set apart. | | | In 1950, the Supreme Court stated that Indians and their lands were "a political trust of the highest order", a doctrine that gave rise to no legal consequences in the event of breach. |

| | As to the admissibility of the communication, she contends that she was not required to exhaust local remedies since the Supreme Court of Canada, in The Attorney-General of Canada v. | | | Whatever may be the merits of the Indian Act in other respects, it does not seem to the Committee that to deny Sandra Lovelace the right to reside on the reserve is reasonable, or necessary to preserve the identity of the tribe. | | | In the case of a particular individual claiming to be a victim of a violation, it cannot express its view on the law in the abstract, without regard to the date on which this law was applied to the alleged victim. |

| | If an Indian were to buy something off-reserve, he would be able to hold the seller liable, but in most cases would not have the money to take the case to court. | | | If an Indian buys something from a white man on reserve, then it is considered an illegal sale, for a license is required to make sales on reserve. | | | This means that a portion of reserve land is leased out absolutely or on condition. |

| | Combined Operation: The Appropriation of Stoney Point Reserve and the Creation of Camp Ipperwash |
| | In re-assessments of Crown monies paid to Indian Bands in land purchase contracts, the Bands often expressed the view that compensation paid by the Crown or private parties was insufficient. | | | It is the responsibility of the courts to decide whether the powers to appropriate reserve land, protected by treaties and constitutional guarantees (like the Royal Proclamation of 1763), were and are legal. | | | In view of the large capital expenditure that was intended, JAG suggested that a formal statement should be obtained from the Indian Affairs Branch (on behalf of itself and the Indians) stating their willingness to convey the property and assuring that all the requirements of the Indian Act pertinent to the matter had been met. |

| | Indian reserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Provinces and municipalities may expropriate reserve land only if specifically authorized by a provincial or federal law. | | | Most reserves are self-governed under guidelines established by the Indian Act. | | | The Indian Act gives the Minister of Indian Affairs the right to "determine whether any purpose for which lands in a reserve are used is for the use and benefit of the band." Title to land within the reserve may only be transferred to the band or to individual band members. |
