Abstract
The recent decision of the Canadian Supreme Court which led to the recognition of an Aboriginal title for the Tsilhqot’in nation in British Columbia has created a shock wave in the field of Aboriginal law which cannot yet be fully appreciated. The unilateral declaration of sovereignty of the Atikamekw nation in September 2014 concerning what they consider as their ancestral land is certainly one of its major consequences. Based on the Tsilhqot’in case, this article tries to demonstrate the complexity of the task linked to the approbation of an Aboriginal title and to highlight the important challenges that the Atikamekw will be facing if they decide to pursue their current political strategy.
