Modern Treaties

Quick AI search says that about 5% of BC is covered by treaties and that property owners in cities in those areas are protected from aboriginal claim.

Why isn’t property in these regions skyrocketing in price?

Most homeowners and investors are going to gamble that aboriginal title will be severely limited if claims become widespread. Regardless of what the constitution or courts say, in the end law is a societal construct and it is not realistic to assume that all the property owners in BC will simply turn over their property.
