- Subject Matter: This appeal sought to set aside an order granting Siksika Nation's motion for the approval of a settlement agreement, discontinuing the action brought by the Estate of Florence Backfat (T-365-01), and discontinuing the following actions with respect to Siksika Nation: Adrian Stimson Sr. et al v Attorney General of Canada (T-4242-71), Leo Youngman et al v Her Majesty the Queen (T-1067-87), Adrian Stimson Sr. et al v Attorney General of Canada (T-365-01), Adrian Stimson Sr. et al v Her Majesty the Queen (T-366-01), Adrian Stimson Sr. et al v Attorney General of Canada (T-368-01), and Adrian Stimson Sr. et al v Attorney General of Canada (T-370-01).

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court.
