Recognition and Reconciliation of Rights Policy for Treaty Negotiations in British Columbia” a policy signed by First Nations Summit, the BC Government and the Government of Canada to facilitate the negotiation of Modern Treaties. Participating First Nations are those who want to negotiate “ a modern treaty” versus those First Nations (Union of BC Indian Chiefs) who object to the treaty process and instead negotiate from a position of “Inherent Rights”.
