A new study found that the Cowichan Nation, which recently won its B.C. Supreme Court case regarding Aboriginal title over roughly 800 acres in Richmond, has received more than a billion dollars from those same government sources.

The Aristotle Foundation published a study on Monday, which tallied how much the Cowichan Tribes have received since the year 2001, when annual funding to the group came in at $37 million.
