Resources for better understanding the need to expedite treaties with First Nations
We are gathering agreements made between settler governments and First Nations (including Forest & Range Consultation and Revenue Sharing Agreements) in order to help bring greater awareness of First Nations title and rights. If you can’t find the Forest Consultation and Revenue Sharing Agreement you’re looking for in our database, links to all the agreements in BC can be found here.
Below you will find an interactive map of the treaty lands of those nations who have completed treaties and an interactive map of the traditional territories of First Nations in BC that were drawn as part of the treaty-making process between First Nations, British Columbia, and Canada. Click on an area of either map to learn more.
In 2020, BC signed the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
