The Nass River people whose century-long land claim battle produced Canada's first modern indigenous treaty and proved that patience and principle could move mountains.
Nisga'a — the Indigenous nation of the Nass River valley of northwestern British Columbia whose century-long pursuit of land rights produced the Calder case of 1973 in which the Supreme Court of Canada acknowledged for the first time that Aboriginal title existed in Canadian law before any treaty extinguished it, a decision that fundamentally reoriented Canadian Indigenous policy and set in motion the modern land claims process that transformed the legal landscape of the entire country. The Nisga'a Final Agreement of 2000 — the first modern treaty in British Columbia — granted the Nisga'a Nation self-government, ownership of 2,000 square kilometers of Nass Valley lands, and resource rights that ended 111 years of petitioning that had begun with their first delegation to Victoria in 1887. Their struggle from petition to treaty stands as the foundational story of Indigenous land rights in modern Canada. This interactive t-shirt connects you to that historic legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
