British Columbia Treaty Process

The British Columbia Treaty Process is a framework for negotiating agreements between Indigenous Nations and the government to clarify rights, land, and self-governance. It involves multiple stages: pre-negotiation preparations, treaty negotiations, and implementation. The process aims to address historical issues, provide certainty for land use, and recognize Indigenous rights, culminating in formal treaties that define the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the government. It seeks to promote reconciliation, respect, and shared decision-making while balancing public interests and land management.
