Nuu-chah-nulth celebration of economic fishing rights Nov. 1

Broadcast will begin at 10 a.m. Nov. 1.

Nuu-chah-nulth Ha’wiih, Chiefs, fishers, members and staff will gather to celebrate the final legal determination of Nuu-chah-nulth fishing rights.

On Jan. 30, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear Canada’s appeal in the Ahousaht et al. vs Canada court case. This ruling effectively ended more than a decade of legal proceedings between Canada and the five nations—Ahousaht, Ehattesaht/Chinehkint, Hesquiaht, Mowachaht/Muchalaht, and Tla-o-qui-aht—with a final affirmation of the Nations’ aboriginal economic fishing rights.
