Specific Claims Tribunal Act
- The Specific Claims Tribunal Act is an initiative with the Assembly of First Nations meant to accelerate the process of specific claims so First Nations begin to get back the rights they deserve.
- First Nations file specific claims (which are monetary claims) against the Crown due to unfulfilled promises or unresolved settlements regarding land, assets, and treaties.
