| | Beattie v. Canada (Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development) (T.D.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | On or around July 2, 1990, the plaintiff, Joyce Wilma Beattie, requested funding from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development to cover the costs of tuition and accommodation for her daughter, Nikota Josette Janvier Beattie, at Maxwell International Baha'i School, a private school in which the plaintiff wished to register her child. |
 | | To hold otherwise, they submit, would deprive the provision of any meaningful sense, place the Treaty No. 11 Indians in the same position as non-treaty Indians, and fly in the face of the priority which must be given to the Crown's constitutionally recognized and affirmed treaty obligations. |
 | | Treaties and statutes relating to Indians should be liberally construed and any uncertainties, ambiguities or doubtful expressions should be resolved in favour of the Indians. |
