Ktunaxa Land Stewardship Visioning

We're working together to strengthen stewardship in ʔamakʔis Ktunaxa.

We've put together answers of your questions about the Land Stewardship Vision.

👉 Check out our FAQs here!

Guidance provided by Ktunaxa ʔaqⱡsmaknik̓ included:

• Members want more frequent updates on the LSV initiative.
• Sharing meeting schedules in advance is important so members can prepare.
• Provide stronger background and context during presentations, especially for members who do not regularly attend meetings.
• Involve Ktunaxa experts in forestry.
• Create opportunities for youth involvement and ensure elders’ voices are included.
• Promote awareness and respect for Ktunaxa rules on lands and waterways.
• Look into the recent Cowichan court case, which reinforces that Crown governments cannot extinguish Indigenous rights and title.
• All information gathered through the LSV must be interpreted by Ktunaxa individuals.

On March 5, 2024 we met with some knowledge holders in ʔakisq̓nuk. Here is the report and a visual of the meeting.

We are hoping to do more ʔukiniⱡwitiyaⱡa sessions. It is a Ktunaxa methodology on problem solving and researching.

Take a look at the engagement that was done in 2023!
