Description
Summary:This paper will review the Gitxsan Alternative Model - Gitxsan Reconciliation treaty model proposed by the Gitxsan Treaty Society on behalf of the Gitxsan nation. This treaty model presents components which have not been traditionally sought by First Nations. A review and comparison has been conducted to determine if this treaty model is considered a nation fit relating to self-governance, socioeconomic gain, and preservation of culture and language. Recommendations are provided for purposes of consideration by the treaty negotiators as they enter the final stages of treaty negotiations ensuring the best possible outcome for the Gitxsan nation. --Leaf ii.
