The Wei Wai Kum Kwiakah Treaty Society (WKTS) is composed of two Nations: Wei Wai Kum (Campbell River Indian Band) and Kwiakah. The WKTS was established in 2014 after We Wai Kai (Cape Mudge) left the former Treaty Society. WKTS operates under the BC Treaty Commission process. The Treaty Team, along with negotiators from Canada and BC typically meet on a monthly basis to advance modern treaty negotiations. Our Treaty Negotiation Team works hard to seek input and guidance from our Members and to negotiate a draft Treaty to bring back to our Members. Our goal is to bring a draft Treaty to our Members for review and potential ratification that: recognizes and protects our aboriginal rights and title, returns a significant amount of land to our Nations, recognizes our governance and jurisdiction, provides funding for health, social, education and other programs, and provides a solid foundation, land base and economic base for a better future for our Nations and Members. In 2019, WKTS reached a Stage 5 Agreement.

CHIEF'S MESSAGE

"Kwiakah First Nation continues to look for processes to have our autonomy respected and are hopeful that Treaty negotiations are but one example of reaching the goal of decision making for our lands and resources that best suits Kwiakah’ goals and visions. Creating economic opportunities are one of those vital objectives to provide a brighter future for our members." - Kwiakah Chief Steven Dick

"We continue to engage in the treaty negotiations process as a primary vehicle to achieve our Nation goals creating a future for our people that is built on certainty, strength and prosperity. It is the recent policy transformations of BC and Canada that give encouragement that we can achieve a final treaty package that will see the wellbeing of Wei Wai Kum members far better off than without, I remain hopeful but there does remain much work to do and we will need the help and participation of our members." - Wei Wai Kum Chief Chris Roberts
