The Court created the test for proof of Aboriginal rights apart from title (the Van der Peet test). In order to establish an Aboriginal right in relation to a particular activity, Aboriginal claimants have to prove that the activity relates to a practice, custom, or tradition that was integral to their distinctive culture prior to contact with Europeans. In this case, the Stó:lo Nation in British Columbia was unable to establish an Aboriginal right to trade fish for money and other goods because, although they had traded fish prior to European contact, this trade had not been sufficiently important to be integral to their distinctive culture.
