Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Pitawanakwat v. Wikwemikong Tribal Police Service, 2010 FC 917 (CanLII):
Justice Beetz, writing for the majority in Four B Manufacturing v. United Garment Workers, 1979 CanLII 11 (SCC), [1980] 1 S.C.R. 1031, determined that an on-reserve factory did not fall within federal jurisdiction because it was not related to Indianness. Thus not all labour relations on Indian land falls under federal jurisdiction.
