In the ledger

  1. June 9, 2026 proposal High confidence

    Ksi Lisims LNG announced benefit agreements with Lax Kw'alaams, Gitxaała, and Metlakatla, and two Nations withdrew federal court challenges.

    The agreements reduced a visible litigation obstacle, but private terms and the absence of a final investment decision prevent the announcement from being counted as project ownership or executed project capital.

  2. April 15, 2026 legislation introduced High confidence

    B.C. introduced the Kitselas Treaty Act, then deferred further passage to the fall amid neighbouring-Nation concerns.

    The pause shows that a negotiated treaty can still face unresolved overlapping-title and implementation questions. Treaty certainty depends on relationships beyond the signatory table.

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.
