Response of the federal government to the position paper of the Nishga Tribal Council .: R5-612/1978E-PDF

"On April 27, 1976 the Nishga Tribal Council presented to the B.C. and Federal negotiating teams a position paper on the claim of the Nishga people. During the following six months, several clarification meetings were held and it was understood in October, 1976, that the two Governments would make a joint formal response. This response has been prepared by the Federal Government on its own behalf without being able to engage in discussions on any of the substantive issues with the Government of British Columbia. It reflects only the Federal view of the claim and the direction negotiations might take and is presented at this time on the understanding that the Government of British Columbia, to whom the claim was also submitted, will be tabling its own response separately"--p. 2.
