The Allied Clans Coalition is a collective of Gitxsan Titleholders acting together to uphold responsibilities to our respective lax’yip (territories) and the wellbeing of the broader region. Grounded in Gitxsan Ayook (law) and governance, the Allied Clans work collaboratively to advance Indigenous-led stewardship, land-use decision-making, and long-term care for lands, waters, and wildlife.
The Allied Clans have issued a formal notice to the Province of British Columbia regarding provincial wolf cull and predator management activities associated with caribou recovery programs. The notice makes clear that these activities do not have consent and are not authorized within Gitxsan Lax’yip unless and until appropriate engagement occurs and decisions are informed by place-based, Indigenous-led stewardship and research.
The accompanying letter outlines the Allied Clans’ generational responsibilities, expectations for engagement, and the Territorial Stewardship Initiative currently underway within Gitxsan territories.
The full media release and formal notice letter are linked below.
