In the ledger

  1. May 21, 2026 litigation High confidence

    The Supreme Court of Canada granted leave in British Columbia's appeal of Gitxaala, putting the legal effect of B.C.'s Declaration Act before the Court.

    The case may define whether the Declaration Act immediately constrains inconsistent provincial law or operates primarily through the government's action-plan and law-reform duties. The outcome will shape mineral tenure, consultation, and regulatory certainty across B.C.

What this page is

A briefing drawn from public sources: the federal band registry for the name, band number and office location, and this site's own ledger and briefs for anything tracked. It is not a description of this Nation, its government, its territory or its affairs, and it is not written with the Nation's involvement.

Anything wrong here is worth telling us about — a misspelled name or a wrong affiliation matters more than any of the rest of it.
