The funding will support the nation’s governance including the construction of cultural centres

On Wednesday, Chief Murphy Abraham, along with other Lake Babine Nation representatives, and Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, signed a funding agreement that will directly support priorities identified by the Wit’at and Tachet communities.

This funding builds upon an agreement signed on September 18, 2020, between Lake Babine Nation, Canada, and British Columbia. Part of the funding will be used to support the building indoor cultural centres in the remote communities of Wit’at and Tachet. This funding will also help Lake Babine Nation to support governance capacity by hiring specialized employees to build land capacity, manage spending, identify priority program improvements, develop a restorative justice strategy for the Nation and oversee the Nation’s strategic initiatives, the main one being the implementation of the Foundation Agreement.

“It's important to know how each other are structured and the processes that are followed so once we have all of that in line, then I believe the future looks brighter from here forward.”
