Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of the prolonged legal dispute between Huron Native Americans and the Canadian Crown over the title to the Sillery estate. The petition at the heart of the dispute dates to 1819 and claims the Canadian Crown's 1699 land grant to the Jesuits was bogus. The author's research draws on official documents, trial records, and other historical sources to lay out the origins of the conflict and the arguments presented by both sides. The dispute began when the Jesuits accepted ownership of the land with the intent of holding it in trust for the Huron. However, the Jesuits later claimed the land as their own. The author provides historical and legal context to the broader issue of indigenous land rights in North America.
