Crisis Meeting Live Stream February 21, 2019

An advisory committee called ‘Crisis Team’ has been created by the Chiefs to focus on discussing public access to fisheries tenure/Anaat for the year 2020.

The committee’s mandate also includes an advisory role with stakeholders like BC and Canada and collaboration with other First Nations dealing with the salmon crisis, as part of the Skeena Nations Fish Forum Protocol.The Crisis Team is collaborating with the government to create a future process where all recreational fishers require permission from individual Chiefs to fish on the river.

While the ban marks the beginning of an ambitious journey, the process fully respects the Daxgyet of the Simgiigyet and adheres to the tenets of the traditional system (Ayook, Adaakw and Lilliget).

These meetings take place monthly and to stay tuned please visit our website and follow us on Facebook.
