Gitxaała Nation has launched a groundbreaking legal challenge that takes aim at B.C.’s outdated and unjust Mineral Tenure Act. Currently the province allows anyone with $25 and a laptop to stake a mining claim without so much as having to notify the Nation whose territory they’re prospecting on.
Together with West Coast Environmental Law BC Mining Law Reform and Gitxaala Nation RAVEN is hosting “Groundswell: An Indigenous Mining Justice Summit” on Thursday December 15. This is a rare opportunity to hear from Gitxaala leadership allied Nations and mining justice advocates and help raise $10k for this historic and game-changing legal challenge.

Still recovering from the mess left behind by Yellow Giant on sacred Lax k’naga dzol (Banks Island) Gitxaala are being joined by other First Nations advocacy groups and Indigenous organizations who see this case as a once-in-a-generation chance to strike down Gold-rush era laws that violate rights and desecrate Indigenous lands and waters.
