there are all kinds of rights, vulnerable to infringement, existent outside private property, from within another piece of private property. If you were to start a big bonfire, during high fire hazard, your neighbors would have ample reason to be concerned about their rights, despite you being on your own property.
A large mine, next to a major city, seems like it might fit in that category. Owning private property has never given one the right to do whatever it is they wish. It's always been subject to others around us.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
I don't have an attitude problem; you must have a perception problem.

And that is the crux of the matter.
Put the shoe on the other foot and say that the offenders were white. You can be sure that Crown Counsel would have sought all charges and no plea deal would have been entertained.
If we are to eliminate racism, shouldn't we start with the judicial system and hold everyone accountable to the same extent of the law regardless of ethnicity?
And p-ms "The next time my landlord is asking for his rent, i'll inform him that my prior payment history has allowed me to take possesion of his title."
If you have status, go for it.

I'm white. I'm fairly "well-off"; Let's say i got it into my mind that i wanted to put together a group of super "well-off" guys and buy all vacant land North of PG. Then exclude everyone from it under tenet of "private property". Would you be Ok with that? We're both white, so nothing racially untoward.
The justice system is operating as you say it should. FN as incorporated organizations, have just as much right to challenge crown title as anyone else. If a government took your land and put it in a supposed trust, never to give it back; i'd imagine you'd find yourself in court with them sooner, rather than later. Whether they had previously advanced rent to you or not.
WRT the OP;
the guys were convicted of tresspassing on private property. so the legal system is again, working as intended. Charges related to poaching were stayed as part of the plea. A white guy would have been rightfully charged for illegally taking game. But members of the PIB have rights to the game within their traditional territory, that supercede's the crown's rights. So why is that legally inconsistent?
