KWAKIUTL BAND COUNCIL PO Box 1440 Port Hardy BC Phone (250) 949-6012 Fax (250) 949-6066
1 KWAKIUTL BAND COUNCIL PO Box 1440 Port Hardy BC Phone (250) 949-6012 Fax (250) 949-6066 February 5, 2007 Att: Mr. Rich Coleman, RE: GOVERNMENT APPROVAL FOR WESTERN FOREST PRODUCTS LAND TRANSFER AND INFRINGEMENT OF THE KWAKIUTL FIRST NATION DOUGLAS TREATIES AND TRADITIONAL TERRITORY We learned of the BC Government’s approval of Western Forest Product’s application to remove private lands from its Tree Farm License via news broadcasts. Our relationship, or lack of it, with Western Forest Products and the Ministry of Forests and Range is indicative of the refusal to openly discuss the application and especially when the Kwakiutl First Nation Council met with them on October 4th and 18th of 2006 (contrary to what we stated at these two meetings that this was not consultation nor accommodation). Western Forest Products historically has been blatantly allowed to disregard their obligations by your “watchdogs” to notify First Nation communities of their harvesting plans. These plans have, and always will have, the end result of infringement on our Treaty and Aboriginal rights and title as it exists for our traditional territory. This situation is further exacerbated by non-notification from your office of the recommendation to approve Western Forest Product’s application. It should be obvious to your ministry that there is the obligation to meaningfully consult and accommodate with First Nations and that message should have been strongly stressed to Western Forest Products. Western Forest Products has touted that it has good relationships with First Nations communities on its website but when we look at our relationship with them, the Kwakiutl First Nation must protest that Western Forest Products and Ministry of Forests and Range do not entirely follow legislated protocol. -

A GUIDE to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013)
A GUIDE TO Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013) A GUIDE TO Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013) INTRODUCTORY NOTE A Guide to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia is a provincial listing of First Nation, Métis and Aboriginal organizations, communities and community services. The Guide is dependent upon voluntary inclusion and is not a comprehensive listing of all Aboriginal organizations in B.C., nor is it able to offer links to all the services that an organization may offer or that may be of interest to Aboriginal people. Publication of the Guide is coordinated by the Intergovernmental and Community Relations Branch of the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation (MARR), to support streamlined access to information about Aboriginal programs and services and to support relationship-building with Aboriginal people and their communities. Information in the Guide is based upon data available at the time of publication. The Guide data is also in an Excel format and can be found by searching the DataBC catalogue at: http://www.data.gov.bc.ca. NOTE: While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy and validity of the information, we have been experiencing some technical challenges while updating the current database. Please contact us if you notice an error in your organization’s listing. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work towards resolving these challenges. If there have been any changes to your organization’s contact information please send the details to: Intergovernmental and Community Relations Branch Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation PO Box 9100 Stn Prov. -
