Gary Alexcee, Chief Councillor of Gingolx Village Government celebrates on the front steps of Parliament Hill after the Senate passed the Nisga'a Treaty on April 13, 2000.Twenty-one years ago, history was made when the Nisga’a Final Agreement was given royal assent by governor-general Adrienne Clarkson after more than 100 years of negotiations. It was the first treaty in British Columbia’s history to reinstate the power of the Indigenous people of Nass Valley to govern themselves.
It underwent contentious constitutional debates in the House of Commons, Senate and B.C. Legislature. Critics challenged the legality of the agreement since the treaty takes away sovereign power from Canada and gives it to the Nisga’a people. There were also many lawsuits from neighbouring communities and non-Native landowners fighting for ownership of the land. In 2000, the bill was finally passed by the Senate with a vote of 52-15. Thirteen senators abstained.
