Is the land below the high water crown land where there is waterfront First Nations lands, or is it treated differently?
That would get me laughing too ! Only time I've had any trouble was on the the beach,far below high water mark, at the mouth of the Big Qualicum. I was in the wrong, it's legally their land. Maybe trouble is to strong a word. I was politely ask to leave and why.me and my buddy were crabbing off island view beach in kayaks and a boat with FN pulled up and said this is FN territory my buddy just laughed and said no this is the ocean
"land" surveyed for the "Indian reserves" between the high and low water marks is also federal crown land.
Cut to the chase---- Dont push your luck.......
Do you have a source for this? I tried searching the database for Chatham Islands Reserve No. 4, but it didn't have any results. Wikipedia states "Chatham Islands foreshore - defined as the land between low tide and the beginning of land based vegetation - is provincial Crown Land." Not that Wikipedia is an authoritative source on this, but it shows there is some confusion. I suppose many of these surveys have never been agreed to with a treaty, which is why FN will claim the land.
Sorry, not sure what you mean by this?

Is what worth it? Asking?
