Nisga'a Youth Participants:

- Patrick Guno: From Gitlaxt'aamiks and resides in Gitlaxt'aamiks

The 6th Annual Treaty Simulation is an event with our treaty partners to educate our future leaders who are the youth from various treaty lands about treaty negotiations and implementation. The youth even got an opportunity to work in teams representing a fictional indigenous nation. There were some prestigous guest speakers and key note speakers who are experienced treaty experts that addressed the youth throughout the event.
SI'AAMHL WILIN Sabrina, Euleina, Patrick and Elijah!
