Treaty Process Moving in Two Directions

Posted by Tad McIlwraith on October 28th, 2006 filed in Head Notes, Treaties

The BC Treaty Process is showing mixed results this weekend, according to the Globe and Mail. On the one hand, the Lheidli T’enneh (Prince George; Athapaskan) are poised to sign their treaty with BC and Canada tomorrow. On the other, forty First Nations have decided that their treaty negotiations have reached impasses. They have joined forces, essentially foregoing individual treaty tables, to overcome the stumbling blocks.
