	Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Musqueam Indian Band v. Glass
		In 1960, the Musqueam Indian Band surrendered approximately 40 acres of reserve land to the Crown for the purposes of leasing.
		That the leasehold to be valued was on Indian land, however, did have a significant effect on the valuation, reducing the value of the interest by approximately 50 percent.
		The market value of the Musqueam lands in 1995 having been found to be 50 percent of that of comparable off-reserve lots, the rent should be based on this value as being their current land value under the terms of the leases.

	Virtual Law Office: Guerin v. The Queen
		The question is whether the appellants,the chief and councillors of the Musqueam Indian Band, suing on their own behalf and on behalf of all other members of the band, are entitled to recover damages from the federal Crown in respect of the leasing to a golf club of land on the Musqueam Indian Reserve.
		The band alleged that a number of the terms and conditions of the lease were different from those disclosed to them before the surrender vote and that some of the lease terms were not disclosed to them at all.
		The further consideration that the principal (the Indian band as holder of the personal interest in the land) is constrained by statute to act through the agency of the Crown, in no way reduces the rights of the instructing principal to call upon the agent to account for the performance of the mandate.

		They form a portion of an Indian Reserve that was surrendered for development as a single family residential development in the early 1960's.
		Although the Musqueam dispute did not involve expropriation, it nevertheless drew considerable interest from expropriation professionals because of the land valuation issues involved.
		However the Chief Justice noted early in her reasons that the leaseholders had obtained professional advice before purchasing their homes so the case was treated by the court as a simple lease renewal clause interpretation case and hardship was not considered.

		For example, a significant number of Musqueam Park tenants purchased assignments of their leases and paid amounts of up to $585,000 as recently as 1992, with just three years to go before the rents were scheduled to be adjusted to market rates.
		When the Musqueam Band voted on October 6, 1957, at their surrender meeting, they were called forward to make their X alongside their respective names.
		The band advised them that at least half of the tenants would have to be interested to justify the appraisal costs that would be required to undertake that kind of negotiation.

	Canadian Law Firm - Blakes Means Business
		The Musqueam Indian Band sought judicial review of the Province’s decision to sell the Golf Course land to UBC on the basis that the Province had not properly consulted with, and accommodated, Musqueam in light of Musqueam’s asserted aboriginal rights and title.
		Musqueam would receive $550,000, five percent of any revenue received by the Province for future modification of the covenant that required UBC to use the land as a golf course, as well as a small amount of firewood for use in the Musqueam longhouse.
		Justice Hall noted that Musqueam’s rights claim was strong and the infringement of these rights if the land was sold to UBC would mean there would likely be no opportunity for Musqueam to prove their connection to this land again.

	Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs - (Reports)
		The Band claimed that it had an interest in the Garden City property and that the Government of Canada had a duty to negotiate and accommodate the Band before any land in which it had an interest was alienated.
		What Musqueam is pursuing in this proceeding is an opportunity for good faith negotiations and a sincere effort on the part of the Crown to accommodate their rights and interests relating to the Garden City property.
		In this case, given the basis of the judicial review, the nature of the Band's claim and the inability of the respondents to effectively address the obligations owed to the bands if they were to ultimately be successful, these are factors which justify an injunction.

	Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs - (Reports)
		The lots in question comprise an area of roughly 40 acres that were surrendered for the purpose of lease to Her Majesty the Queen on February 17, 1960, by the Musqueam Indian Band (the Band).
		The nature of the Indians' interest is therefore best characterized by its general inalienability, coupled with the fact that the Crown is under an obligation to deal with the land on the Indians' behalf when the interest is surrendered.
		Counsel for the appellants argued that the Band had, in effect, paid for the servicing because the evidence of one of its witnesses was that the Band had taken a reduction in the price of the lands since they were not serviced.

		Renowned Musqueam artist Susan Point, who has a studio in one of the buildings, wouldn't join the coalition because of the perceived conflict as tenant and member of the band.
		When the band purchased the shipyards from the province more than 15 years ago, it hoped its shipbuilding venture would generate money and jobs, but failed to meet the band's goals, Campbell said.
