Popkum, Chawathil, Shxw’ōw’hámel, Skawahlook, Yale, Peters and Union Bar First Nations

Negotiated settlements resolve a legal obligation owed by Canada to these First Nations when a reserve they held in common was transferred in 1959 to the then-newly formed Seabird Island First Nation without meaningful consent or compensation.

The specific claim settlements will provide each First Nation with just over $21.4 million in compensation for the current value and loss of use of their interest in the Seabird Island Reserve.
