Approximately 15 Tachet members travelled to Vancouver for a final hearing of the Tachet specific claims in federal court.
Tachet members are claiming land back that they say was taken away from them in the 1920s. The land they are claiming extends from west of the Michelle Bay area, west of the present Tachet reserve in the Topley Landing area and south of the reserve to the Granisle road.
This dispute between Tachet members and the Crown has persisted for over a decade.
The judge is looking at their submissions and will make a decision within the next six months.
Frank Alec, Deputy Chief of Lake Babine Nation, says he feels optimist about the decision of the judge.
