About us

Indigenous Rights are Constitutionally protected. The Right to self-government/determination is a right which is supported by other legal precedents and instruments like the Canada-Métis Nation Accord, and UNDRIP.

Our governance is focused on building/establishing business/proponent  and government-to-government relationships.

We are a member of the Métis Nation of British Columbia  and Métis Nation of Canada however are exercising elements of our rights to self-government/determination. 

We respectfully require direct communication protocols for any business or rights activities pertaining to the citizens and in the Elk Valley. For more information please see our Consultation Guidelines.

Our collaboration model communicates how we envision engagements and relationships with other governments or organizations.
