British Columbia has a large number of aboriginal nations and bands that have yet to agree to a treaty settlement. The BC Treaty Commission is a neutral, independent body that is funded in part by the government of Canada (60%) and the province of BC (40%). The commission is responsible for facilitating treaty negotiations with BC’s aboriginal nations and bands. The website provides a good overview of the commission’s mandate, the negotiation process, issues inherent in negotiation, past & present negotiations, educational resources, and archives. This website is a great source of information to stay informed and current on BC’s treaty negotiations.
