Gitxaała Nation enters first-of-it’s-kind mineral rights challenge in B.C. Supreme Court
A first-of-its-kind mineral court claim and legal action saw Gitxaała First Nation in the B.C. Supreme Court for the first day of hearings on April 3.
“In their legal argument in our case, B.C. has the audacity to say that giving away mineral rights in our territory does not trigger the duty to consult. We disagree with that,” she said before the court hearing began. Since Gitxaała launched the case in October 2021, the provincial government has made public commitments to reform the mineral tenure regime, yet it has not changed its legal position and continues to fight Gitxaała in court, a media statement from Gitxaala stated.
“Gitxaała smgyigyet have the responsibility to manage and protect our territories and resources according to the ayaawx . Our ayaawx expresses, among other things, the sacredness of our territory and the need to treat the environment with the greatest respect and to ensure proper treatment of our resources,” said Gitxaała Sm’ooygit Nees Hiwaas .
