There are now 60 First Nations participating in the
BC treaty process. Because some First Nations negotiate at a common
table, there are 49 sets of negotiations. There are 44 First Nations
in Stage 4 agreement-in-principle
negotiations and six First Nations in Stage 5 negotiations
to finalize a treaty.
First Nations in the treaty process make-up
about two-thirds of all First Nations people in BC. The treaty
process is voluntary and open to all First Nations in BC.
