  • B.C. Court of Appeal Confirms Rights in Arrow Lakes
    Media Release | May 3, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE B.C. Court of Appeal Confirms Rights in Arrow Lakes tkwəɬniwt (Westbank), Syilx Okanagan Territory: The Chiefs of the Syilx Okanagan Nation welcome the May 2, 2019 decision of the British Columbia Court of Appeal in R. v. Desautel, recognizing and protecting Sinixt Aboriginal hunting rights in B.C. Sinixt are inextricably linked to our broader Syilx Okanagan Nation, sharing common language, culture, history, traditions and ancestry. As our Syilx communities include many Sinixt people, this confirmation that Sinixt rights continue to exist in Syilx Okanagan Territory is critically important, particularly in light of the Province of British Columbia’s previous denial of those rights. The case was an appeal of the BC Supreme Court’s affirmation of the BC Provincial Court’s March 27, 2017 decision that found that Richard DeSautel, a member of the Lakes Tribe of the Confederated Colville Tribes (CCT) and a United States citizen, has an Aboriginal right to hunt in the traditional territory of Sinixt people in British Columbia. The BC Court of Appeal dismissed the Province’s appeal and confirmed some key legal principles: • The Aboriginal perspective needs to be taken into account when assessing whether persons who are not resident or citizens of Canada can be “Aboriginal peoples of Canada”; • There is no requirement for there to be a modern-day community in the area where harvesting activities take place for an Aboriginal right to exist - this finding reflects the fact that Indigenous peoples were displaced through the process of colonization and that rights in the Arrow Lakes area were never voluntarily surrendered, abandoned or surrendered.

  • Press Release Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation
    PRESS RELEASE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE COLVILLE RESERVATION Media Contact: Meghan Francis [email protected] For Immediate Release January 26, 2018 Colville Tribal Chairman Disappointed in Appeal Of Landmark Sinixt Hunting Rights Court Victory; Vows to Continue Legal Battle Nespelem, WA-- The Chairman of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation today expressed his disappointment that the BC government is seeking to appeal the Tribes’ latest victory in its historic Sinixt hunting right case in British Columbia. “It’s not surprising, but I had hoped the Crown would simply accept the fact that the sn̓ ʕay̓ ckstx (Sinixt) people are not now and never have been “extinct” and retain their aboriginal right to hunt in their traditional territory, which the Canadian courts have conclusively determined the sn̓ ʕay̓ ckstx occupied for thousands of years” Dr. Michael E. Marchand, Colville Chairman, said. This is the second appeal by the provincial Crown, following the B.C. Supreme Court’s dismissal on December 28, 2017 of the appeal from Mr. Desautel’s acquittal in the Provincial Court of British Columbia in March of 2017. If granted permission to appeal, the government’s appeal is expected to be heard by the B.C. Court of Appeal later this year. In 2010, Mr. Desautel, a Colville Tribal member and Arrow Lakes or Sinixt descendant, was charged with hunting elk as a non-resident and without a license near Castlegar, B.C., in Arrow Lakes or Sinixt traditional territory. Sinixt traditional territory stretches north from the Colville Reservation to the area in and around the Arrow Lakes in British Columbia.
