GILAKAS’LA!

Kwiakah First Nation is a signatory to the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management and is developing a Land Code (Land Law) to replace Indian Act control over our lands.

If our voting membership approves, our First Nation will regain governance over our lands, natural resources, and environment.

Tara Morrow ~ Kwiakah Member

"As soon as I arrive back in our territory, I feel an immense sense of “you just belong here,” something you don’t feel anywhere else in the world. You feel in your soul an instant connection to our ancestors, you feel the history, the power and the protection of the land. It’s a beautiful place to be!"

Quick Facts

What is a Land Code?

A Land Code will be the basic land law of the First Nation and will replace the lands related provisions of the Indian Act. 


The contents of the Land Code are developed by the membership of the First Nation. Typically, a lands committee is formed to be responsible for developing the draft Land Code for the First Nation. The committee has officers of the First Nation knowledgeable about lands and other members of the community.  

Will our lands be protected under the Land Code?

Yes! The land base of a First Nation is protected for future generations. Once a reserve becomes First Nation land under a Land Code, it cannot be sold or surrendered for sale. First Nation land is immune from expropriation for any provincial purpose and no provincial government or agency can have First Nation land expropriated by Canada. 

Are off-reserve members involved?

Yes! All members of the First Nation who are at least 18 years of age, whether living off-reserve or on-reserve, have the right to vote on the Land Code and the Individual Transfer Agreement.
