This has some pretty severe and far reaching implications. If there can be ruling that you don’t own the land you thought you owned, that throws basically the entirety of how we work as a society on its head. Titles become worthless.
I would also question the further reaching implications that maybe aren’t considered. Of course, I am hardly a legal scholar so maybe I’m just talking out my ass.
In Ontario, the Haudenosaunee genocided multiple groups such as the Huron and the Neutral during the Beaver Wars.
The current Six Nations of the Grand River reserve near Brantford is on this land that historically belonged to the Neutral. This land was purchased for the reserve but if it was never the colonial government of the time’s land to buy, then wouldn’t ownership revert back to the few descendants of the Neutral who survived?
