Northern Regional Negotiations Table

The Northern Regional Negotiations Table handles treaty negotiations in the British Columbia Treaty Process for a number of First Nations located in the far north of British Columbia and the south of the Yukon Territory in Canada.

Membership

Treaty Process

All of the members are based in Yukon except for the Taku River Tlingit First Nation. Members of the Northern Regional Negotiations Table entered the British Columbia Treaty Process because some of their traditional territories lie within British Columbia's provincial boundaries.[1]
