Simpcw and Gitsegukla First Nations have partnered on child welfare jurisdiction
The Simpcw and Gitsegukla First Nations came together in Prince George at Lheidli T’enneh’s House of Ancestors to sign an historic agreement Wednesday.
In keeping with traditional practice, Gitsegukla traded sockeye salmon for Simpcw’s Tcwesétmentem Agreement which is the only legally binding child welfare agreement of its kind in British Columbia. “We honour them through the exercise of our traditional trade and enter this declaration to self-determine how we will work with other Nations based on our Ayook for the well-being and best interests of our children and families,” said Howard.
