Appeal by the Crown regarding the construction of a log cabin in a Saskatchewan provincial park. John Sundown was a member of a Cree First Nation and a member of Treaty 6. The treaty recognizes the signatories right to fish and hunt for food. The log cabin was built by John Sundown as a means for smoking meat and to set up camp while hunting. The Crown asserts that a cabin is a permanent fixture in a provincial park that violates provincial law prohibiting the construction of permanent structures in provincial parks. The Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeal's acquittal.
