TORONTO — A massive Aboriginal claim over some of the most picturesque geography in Ontario triggered a landmark trial Thursday, with a large contingent of lawyers politely starting a delicate dance over contentious issues of land, treaty rights and money. The land claim includes two national parks and the rivers and lakes. “This claim is not about judging the Crown on today’s standards or in hindsight,” Guirguis told court. He told court the government is emphasizing the importance of historical context. “Our system requires that evidence be tested, so we will be cross-examining witnesses,” Feliciant told court.
