Haida/Taku Principles
(f) there is no duty to reach agreement and Aboriginal groups do not have a veto power over what can be done with land claimed by them; rather, it is a process of balancing interests, of give and take (10 and 48, Haida); and (g) where accommodation is required in making decisions that may adversely affect an asserted Aboriginal right or title, the Crown must balance Aboriginal concerns reasonably with the potential impact of the decision on the asserted right or title and other societal interests (50, Haida and 42, Taku River Tlingit).

Conclusions
Provinces developing consultation processes & procedures, First Nations need to do the same. First Nations need to collect cultural, historical and current use data and natural resource inventory data. First Nations need to assess how much territory has been taken up and what is left. The consultation/accommodation processes will be in effect for years, likely decades.
