Gilakas'la
Welcome. We are the Winalagalis Treaty Group (WTG) comprised of the Da'naxda'xw/Awaetlala, Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw, Quatsino, and Tlatlasikwala First Nations. Our peoples are the descendents of the first inhabitants of this land.

 

Winalagalis is a fierce spirit warrior... who in the Treaty Process is making war with words.

 

 

 

 

This site provides updates on the Winalagalis Table Treaty process, news of upcoming events, and contact information for the member Nations. As documents become available, they will be posted here. 

The 6-Stage Treaty Process is managed by the BC Treaty Commission. Currently the Winalagalis Treaty Group is in Stage 4 negotiating the Agreement in Principle (AIP). In drafting the AIP, Canada, British Columbia, and Winalagalis will reach agreement in principle on the key issues to be negotiated in the Final Agreement.
