The BC Government website has a page devoted to First Nations traditions and knowledge regarding water use where the BC governments commitments to protecting First Nations’ values around water commitments are given. Protecting water access for social and cultural practices,  the sharing and use of TEK in decision making, and ensuring that all First Nations groups in BC have a plentiful supply of clean water is described.
