Yes. My also limited understanding is that it might be traced back to some of the original treaties with the Indigenous peoples which said (or at least implied) that the Indigenous peoples were ceding only the surface to a depth of several inches.

Sadly, the government then turned that into "Crown ownership" (as contrasted with private ownership) instead of Indigenous ownership. Much to the detriment of the economic and political power of the Indigenous peoples.
