Open House - Te'Mexw Treaty Association
TTA is a non-profit society formed of five Coast Salish Nations — Beecher Bay, Malahat, Snaw-naw-as, Songhees and T’Sou-ke. The Te’mexw Member Nations joined to work together under one organization to negotiate five Nation-specific modern treaties with the federal and provincial governments through the B.C. treaty negotiations process. Negotiations have been ongoing since 1995. These treaties represent a major step forward in reconciliation, supporting self determination, recognition of rights and long-term social and economic benefits for TTA Member Nations and the region. The B.C. treaty negotiations process has always been guided by the principle that private property (fee-simple land) is only included if there are a willing-buyer and a willing-seller. Private fee-simple property rights are protected through this process. The proposed treaty lands for the TTA Member Nations do not include privately owned fee-simple lands, except lands already owned by the respective TTA Member Nations.
Join us at an upcoming open house to find out more from the treaty partners (B.C., Canada and TTA) about what the proposed treaties mean, continue dialogue about the status of treaty negotiations, and view maps of proposed treaty lands.
