"We are coming together as three Nations, as a family, working together to honour the countless past, present, and future generations of our Kwantlen, Katzie and Semiahmoo people. We owe that to them, and the government owes that to us. It’s time. It’s not the time to talk anymore, it’s time for us to see k’ʷeq’ənəq returned to us. I cannot express enough how important this land is to us." — Chief Marilyn Gabriel

If we truly want to talk about reconciliation, we need to be willing to talk about land. Transferring k'ʷeq'ənəq represents a moment of truth when Canada must demonstrate its commitment to implementing UNDRIP and the principles respecting Canada’s relationship with Indigenous peoples.

"Both the governments of Canada and British Columbia have enacted legislation to adopt UNDRIP. Unfortunately, we just keep hearing, ‘We’re working out our UNDRIP plan,’ and we haven’t seen any real action taken yet. Government needs to be brave if it truly wants to enact reconciliation. Change takes bravery. We need somebody to be brave and support change so that we can truly see reconciliation in action." — Chief Harley Chappell, Semiahmoo First Nation

This land within k'ʷeq'ənəq is a hub for Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo. It is where the three Nations have always crossed paths, and there is a vast trade network extending across these lands.

Unfortunately, many of the traditional food resources and natural medicines used to trade are not available anymore, or they’re very limited. The Nations’ economies, therefore, need to change — and we must be the ones to decide the future economic uses of our lands.

Within the Lower Mainland, k'ʷeq'ənəq represents one of the last and most significant pieces of Crown land where our Nations could implement our rights and enable the prosperity and well-being of our people. It is an essential part of our vision for economic reconciliation.
