Mentionnons, par exemple, l'arrêt Badger de 1996 concernant les droits issus de traités dans les Prairies, et le jugement peut-être le plus célèbre, l'arrêt Marshall, prononcé en 1999, qui portait sur les traités de paix et d'amitié dans les Maritimes.
There was a case in 1996, called Badger, that dealt with treaty rights on the Prairies; and, perhaps most telling, in 1999, there was the Marshall decision that dealt with the peace and friendship treaties in the Maritimes and found that the Mi'kmaq have treaty rights to harvest and trade traditionally harvested resources with a view to attaining a moderate livelihood.
