James Otis, "No Taxation without Representation!"
REMARKS OF GRAND CHIEF MATTHEW COON COME
CANADA SEMINAR: OCTOBER 28, 1996
HARVARD CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND KENNEDY SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT
In the words of the Chief Justice of Canada, and I quote:
The Attorney General of Quebec took the position that the intervention of French Sovereignty [following first contact with aboriginal peoples in New France] necessarily prohibits the recognition of aboriginal title and other ancestral rights under s.35(1), within the prior geographic expanse of New France. As the respondent [government of Quebec] argued in categorical terms: ". . . no aboriginal right could have survived the assertion of French sovereignty over the territory of New France."
End of quote.
