WILLIAMS LAKE–This summer marks the one year anniversary of the Hubulhsooninats’Uhoot’alh: Foundation Framework Agreement between the Southern Dakelh Nation Alliance (SDNA) and the Province of British Columbia.

The Foundation Framework Agreement aimed at building a foundation of comprehensive reconciliation between BC and First Nations of the Southern Dakelh Nation Alliance, from the Cariboo.

The three year agreement has BC and the SDNA working hand in hand to address resource management, increase participation in the forest sector, economic development and culture and wellness priorities.

“We are discussing priorities that will bring significant benefit to the SDNA communities, including economic development, culture and wellness needs, and joint decision-making. I’m looking forward to seeing the results of the important work that our partnership achieves in the years ahead,” said Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation.

According to a press release from the BC government, both the provincial government and the SDNA have made progress on key priorities, working their way to a shared vision for long-term reconciliation; including recognition of Aboriginal title and rights in a negotiated context, the apportionment of forest volume in the Quesnel Timber Supply area, wildlife management and regulation of mushroom harvesting.
