Snuneymuxw First Nation to receive 3,000 acres overlooking Nanaimo

“The agreements … with Snuneymuxw and British Columbia mark a major step forward in a journey that goes back to the important promises and understandings that formed the basis of our treaty relationship with the Crown when Sir James Douglas entered into a treaty with our people in 1854,” Wyse said.

The 2017 deal is linked to Sunday’s announcement and included a promise of 160 First Nations forestry jobs after unlocking close to 6,000 acres for timber harvest.
