A draft agreement between the Haida Nation and the British Columbia government recognizes Haida title over all of Hadia Gwaii.
The agreement sets out a new set of rules for how land will be governed on Haida Gwaii — along with a two-year transition process that will focus on how land resource decision-making will be addressed, starting with protected areas, fishing lodges and forestry, according to the document. However, some jurisdictional responsibilities, such as health, education, transportation and fire and emergency services, will remain in the hands of the province and municipalities on Haida Gwaii, and the agreement won't impact current municipal boundaries or functions.
