Addendum 1

Replaces "Amendments to a First Nation's map of its traditional territory" on page 6 of the B.C. Treaty Commission - Policies and Procedures, Stages 1-4, April 11, 1997)

2. Amendments to a First Nation's map of its traditional territory

A First Nation may need to make changes to its map after it has begun research and preparations for negotiations. Such changes amount to an amendment of the First Nation's Statement of Intent. They also have important implications for other First Nations, which use the maps to identify overlaps, and for Canada and British Columbia, which use them for consulting third parties and as a basis for identifying the First Nation's key interests in its territory.

In revising its Statement of Intent Map, a First Nation must notify the Commission of the changes and provide the Commission with:

1.	A copy of the revised map;
2.	A written explanation of the reasons for the boundary change;
3.	Copies of letters from the First Nation which demonstrate that the revised map and the explanatory note have been distributed to neighbouring First Nations affected by the revised boundaries for the purpose of identifying overlaps; and
4.	Information and documentation indicating that a process has been established to resolve ensuing overlap issues.

Once these requirements have been met, the Commission will date and attach the revised map and the explanatory note to the Statement of Intent, along with the original map. The Commission will distribute the revised map and explanatory note to Canada and British Columbia, and will, on request, make both available to the public, along with the original map.

Addendum 2

Receiving Revised Traditional Territory Maps

Where the revised-map requirements have been met, the Commission will:

a)	date-stamp the revised map and the explanatory note and attach them to the Statement of Intent, along with the original map;
b)	distribute the revised map and explanatory note to Canada and British Columbia; and
c)	make the revised map and explanatory note, along with the original map, available to the public on request.

Addendum 3

Replaces "Documents to be provided to the Commission" on page 28 of the B.C. Treaty Commission - Policies and Procedures, Stages 1-4, April 11, 1997)

1. Documents to be provided to the Commission

Any records provided to the Commission that are confidential to a party or to the table will be received by the Commission in confidence. Such documents must be appropriately marked as "Confidential."
