Nisga'a Nation and Tahltan Nation sign MOU
At Day 2 of the 2016 Special Assembly of the Nisga'a Nation, President H. Mitchell Stevens was joined by Tahltan Nation President Chad Norman Day for a memorandum of understanding signing ceremony.
In 1898, the Tahltan and the Nisga’a Nation concluded a peace treaty at Treaty Rock, along Treaty Creek, agreeing to their shared boundary.
Since that time, the Tahltan and Nisga'a have enjoyed a long, prosperous and mutually beneficial relationship between our two Nations.
For several years, Nisga’a and Tahltan Nations have considered a way to take the next step to formalize certain aspects of this long-standing relationship.
Today, together we seek to affirm our continuing Nation-to-Nation relationship and to establish a government-to-government process for collaboration on matters of mutual interest or concern, including potential economic and business collaboration.
The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding is to set out the mutual understandings and intentions of Tahltan and the Nisga’a Nation to establish an ongoing Nation-to-Nation relationship to address issues of mutual interest or concern, at a government-to-government level.
