Nuxalk Nation Sovereignty

Our "SOVEREIGNTY" is our traditional ways! It is our fishing, hunting, ceremonies, laws, stories, songs, potlatches,and dances. Our "SOVEREIGNTY" is a sacred gift handed down to us by Tatau, our Creator. It is something that was never given to us by any government or business. Our "SOVEREIGNTY" is not the Canadian governments laws! Our "SOVEREIGNTY" is not the British Columbian laws! These two governments do not have any right to practise their man made laws over our laws that were handed down to us from the Creator. Our "SOVEREIGNTY" is when we hunt, where we hunt, when we fish and where we fish! Our "SOVEREIGNTY" is our plant foods and medicines! Our "SOVEREIGNTY" is our traditional way of life. No other nation is given the permission to define our "SOVEREIGNTY"! As long as we keep our "SOVEREIGNTY" we shall survive as a nation! For the future of our Children, Grandchildren and Children yet unborn. . . Way!
