Nisg̱a’a Law-Making Authority

Government

Under the Treaty, Nisg̱a’a Government has the authority to pass laws on a broad range of matters. At the same time, Nisg̱a’a lawmaking authority is concurrent with federal and provincial authority. Wilp Si’ayuukhl Nisg̱a’a is the 36-member legislative body responsible for considering and passing Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government laws.

Please note, the Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government is in the process of making available all current versions of Nisg̱a’a law on this new site, so not all Nisg̱a’a laws and regulations enacted by the Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government are presently listed. For more information, please contact the Legislative Assistant Myrle Morven at 250 633 3000 or email at myrlem@nisgaanation.ca.

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.
