The Doctrine of Discovery has had immediate and lasting effects on Indigenous nations in Canada, as it justified Indigenous lands to be taken by European colonizers.

When the land was colonized, it became American. The Supreme Court decided a similar case in 2014, when Tsilhqot’in Nation brought the Province of British Columbia to court to stop the clear cutting of trees on their land. This case looked into who had power over land never surrendered in a treaty.Article contentterra nullius
