It has now been 10 years since the landmark Gitanyow Lax’yip Land-Use Plan was signed between the Province and Gitanyow First Nation.
That agreement lays out the Nation’s vision and appropriate uses for lands in their territory, and continues to be an example for other First Nations land use plans.
It supports sutainable development, industry, and food security, and melds Indigenous and western knowledge for optimal habitat management.
In the years since the agreement, it has paved the way for other collaborative plans, such as the Nass South and Cranberry Sustainable Resource Management Plans.
Today, Gitanyow representatives and Hereditary Chiefs and Provincial officials came together to celebrate the landmark anniversary.
