Under the Nisg̱a’a Final Agreement, the Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government (NLG) has, with respect to Nisg̱a’a Lands, the rights, powers, and obligations of a local authority under federal and provincial legislation in respect of emergency preparedness and emergency measures.
K’alii-Aksim-Lisims, the Nass River, flows through a land of sacred mountains and dense forests on Canada’s Pacific Coast. The Nisg̱a’a people have lived in the Nass River Valley since before recorded time.
The Nisg̱a’a Final Agreement, British Columbia’s first modern treaty, recognizes Nisg̱a’a Lands and Nisg̱a’a Government. An example of hope, trust, and cooperation, the Nisg̱a’a Final Agreement is being studied by governments and Indigenous people the world over.
