A New Brunswick court has found that First Nations can seek title to vast areas of privately owned land in the province.

The decision is in connection with a lawsuit launched in 2021 by six Wolastoqey Nations seeking a declaration of Aboriginal title over more than 50 per cent of the land.

The land in question includes areas held by major timber and oil companies.
