The SCC ruled that the Band did not have an Aboriginal right to a modern day commercial fishery under s. 35(1). The Court found that the Band\u2019s ancestral trade focused almost exclusively on a single species of fish. On this basis, the Court ruled that the Band had not made the case for a broad Aboriginal right to harvest and sell all fish species within their ancestral waters. This SCC decision drew upon the longstanding principle that, in order for a practice, custom, or tradition to be protected as an Aboriginal right, there must be evidence that it was an integral part of the distinctive society of the Aboriginal group prior to contact with European settlers. The result was that the SSC set out a new step for dealing specifically with claims regarding large scale commercial activity.
