Since Aboriginal land in New Brunswick has never been sold or ceded to the Crown by treaty, several lawyers have stated privately that Aboriginal Peoples have a very strong basis on which to assert they are still the rightful owners of so-called Crown land in New Brunswick. As the legal owners, the Aboriginal Peoples would have the right to evict SWN from their territory. On October 2, Elsipogtog Chief Aaron Sock stunned the provincial government by announcing that his band and the Signitog District Grand Council representing Aboriginal peoples in the Maritimes were immediately resuming direct control of their ancestral lands. — via Melody Andrews
