For a lifetime, families displaced by a catastrophic landslide have lived in homes built on land they couldn t buy or sell, but in a historic move, the title will now be transferred from Canada to Salt River First Nation families.
In 1968, a landslide changed the face of Fort Smith forever, and displaced Salt River First Nation families onto lands where they built new homes. But as it was designated Indian Affairs Branch (IAB) land, they didn t own it.
