TAKING BACK OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE |
|
It is an extraordinary time for the people of the Tsawwassen First Nation.
We are a proud SELF GOVERNING Coast Salish nation, the first of its kind for urban British Columbia. Our treaty is now in effect, and we are moving forward to build a vibrant community at Tsawwassen that is at the forefront of economic, environmental, social and cultural sustainability.
As we move forward, we are challenged to incorporate our culture and language into our laws, practices and institutions. Our successful existence as a tribe is partly due to our culture and language, at the same time it is also due to our ability to adapt to our constantly changing surroundings.
Our challenge today is to maximize every opportunity the treaty provides for, while ensuring we have a liveable community.
