These are completely different cases. The Cowichan case was filed in 2014 — five years before DRIPA — and rests on Section 35 constitutional Aboriginal title rights. The Gitxaała case is about whether DRIPA's interpretive provisions (Section 8.1 of the Interpretation Act, added in 2021) give UNDRIP 'immediate legal effect.' Former Green MLA Adam Olsen accused Premier Eby of 'seemingly intentionally winding the Cowichan and Gitxaała decisions into the same ball and saying it's all one big problem.' Conflating them is the most damaging piece of the misinformation campaign.
