In the ledger
- May 22, 2026 proposal High confidence
Six First Nations and Canada announced a collaborative framework for the proposed Mia-yaltwa Ha'lidzogm hoon marine conservation area on B.C.'s central coast.
The framework pairs Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area leadership with a potential national marine conservation area, creating a governance and stewardship platform rather than treating conservation only as a restriction on industry.
Editions that mention this Nation
The name appears somewhere in these editions. That does not mean the edition is about this Nation — a brief covers many at once, and the headline below is the edition's, not this Nation's.
- August 14, 2026 A community counts what the fire took, while the consultation question moves into courtrooms and comment periods — from the Smoky River to the Ring of Fire
- July 30, 2026 No new Indigenous ownership closing crossed the tape; the live signal was litigation over failed infrastructure, coastal project boundaries, fiscal-governance standards and procurement gates.
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.
