Two important events took place on November 13, 2012 in Vancouver: a press conference at the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs Office, and a community presentation in East Vancouver that evening (see poster). The FNFN is seeking the help and support of British Columbians in its efforts to protect the health of the FNFN lands and water resources, which all British Columbians enjoy and benefit from.
The traditional lands of the FNFN are located in the far northeast corner in the Province of British Columbia, about a two days journey when driving from Metro Vancouver.
On this page are features and links related to these events, and matters that relate to them.
