B.C. cedes much of Nuchatlitz provincial park to Nuchatlaht First Nation
June 6, 2025
The B.C. government has quietly ceded a large portion of a provincial park off the west coast of Vancouver Island, in response to a precedent-setting court ruling on an Indigenous land claim. Public access to parts of Nuchatlitz Park is no longer assured, after the B.C. Supreme Court declared last year that the Nuchatlaht, a First Nation with 180 members, has proved Aboriginal title to 1,140 hectares of land on the north end of Nootka Island.
Indigenous demonstrations against both the federal and Ontario governments unfolded at multiple sites across the province Tuesday, as protesters rallied against initiatives to fast-track major infrastructure projects. As far north as the Attawapiskat River, which flows into James Bay, and as far south as Queen’s Park, Ontario’s legislature, protesters gathered in separate demonstrations to push back against two laws recently passed at both levels of government.
