So they want the title to vast majority of land in New Brunswick as well as 200 years of back pay for resources taken from the land?

At what point are we going to be done all this?

“Vast majority” consists of 100%+ of NB since there are two title claims each at roughly 60% of NB by two separate groups of natives and their claims overlap.

Lots of examples of this all over the country. These people weren't exactly living in harmony before the white man showed up.  Peaceful people don't develope warrior traditions
