The issue of Aboriginal Title and Land Claims is very important to the survival and revival of the native people of New Brunswick. In the past 200 years the Indian people of New Brunswick have been reduce from proud, independent nations (Micmac and Maliseet) who had their own language, law, politics, and educational system - to a level of high unemployment, low educational level, poor health, poor housing, and have lost much of their culture. These injustices can only corrected by recognizing Aboriginal Title and negotiating a just settlement with the Aboriginal People of New Brunswick.
