We are an independent First Nation, standing apart from both Sto:lo Nation, and the Nlakapamux. We presently have approximately 150 band members, on and off reserve. We are in the final stages of negotiating a treaty with the BC and Canadian government.
We have 8 regular staff members who manage the following divisions: Community Health Representative, Band Manager, Social Development, Treaty Coordinator, Education Coordinator, Fisheries manager, Chief Negotiator and Lands & Resource Manager.
In the summer months we hire monitors for Chinook and Sockeye fisheries. In the last two years we have hired staff members for the Hydro Acoustic Counting Station. We also hire a summer student who works 8 weeks during the summer months.
