First Nation Communities in B.C.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 42 First Nations participating in the B.C. Treaty Commission process represent about two-thirds of the 197 bands in British Columbia.
The BCTC process enables First Nations to self-identify and some bands are negotiating as a group while others are negotiating on their own. The affiliations developed through this process differ from affiliations listed with DIAND.
First Nations in the BCTC Process
First Nations not in the BCTC Process
Nisga'a treaty negotiations started prior to the implementation of the BCTC process.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(*Note: Discrepancies from federal documents are due to Canada listing some First Nations in the BCTC process independently, rather than as part of a treaty group.)
