Coastal First Nations

Coastal First Nations are Indigenous communities located along Canada's west coast, primarily in British Columbia. They have deep cultural, spiritual, and historical ties to their land and waters, which are central to their ways of life. These nations work to protect their environment, assert their rights, and promote sustainable practices through governance, conservation efforts, and partnerships. Recognizing their sovereignty and traditional knowledge, Coastal First Nations advocate for ecological health and social justice, playing a vital role in regional decision-making and conservation initiatives.
