Court of Appeal Agrees with Kaska Challenge to “Free Entry” Mining System. Press Release

WHITEHORSE, YT – January 7, 2013 – For years the Kaska Nation has been looking to negotiate modern day solutions with Government to the realities of common law regarding aboriginal rights and title in Canada. The issue of “free entry” has been one that the Kaska have been asking YTG to negotiate with them on.
