Introduction
In accordance with the provisions of the First Nations Land Management Act as implemented with respect to the Iskut First Nation reserves, the Surveyor General Branch (SGB) has prepared this description of reserve land as required under paragraph 6(1)(a) of the Act for Stikine River Indian Reserve No. 7.
The Land Description contained in Section 1 defines the extent of reserve land that will be subject to the land code of the Iskut First Nation and is not intended to prejudice any of this First Nation’s claim(s) to lands.
The Land Description is based on a review of documents recorded in the Indian Lands Registry in concert with other documents from various sources relating to the extent of title to the reserve land; it does not represent a legal interpretation of those documents. Should there be differing interpretations; legal assistance might be required to determine the definitive nature of the interests in land. The content of this Land Description is based on the documents reviewed; however, no guarantee should be implied that would preclude the existence of other documents not discovered during the course of this research that might also affect the extent of title to the reserve land.
This Land Description Report was prepared by Pat Burnham, BCLS, CLS of the Surveyor General Branch in accordance with the guidelines established under the authority of the Surveyor General of Canada Lands.
Certified Correct as to the Land Description contained in Section 1.
