Together with the Canim Lake Indian Band, Canoe Creek/Dog Creek Indian Band and Williams Lake Indian Band, the Xat'súll First Nation is negotiating a treaty with British Columbia and Canada as the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw ("NStQ").(Northern Shuswap Indians)
The NStQ are at Stage 4 of the B.C. Treaty Process.
Xat'súll community members are becoming impatient with the Treaty Process and have instructed the Xat'súll Treaty Team to address "big picture" issues over the next year. These issues include:
- Co-management of natural resources throughout the traditional territory;
- Certainty and extinguishment of Aboriginal Title and Rights;
- Taxation;
- Fiscal relations and revenue-sharing.
The Xat'súll Treaty Team consists of Gordon Keener (Treaty Manager) and Kellie Louie Treaty Executive Assistant .
