Coastal First Nations - Great Bear Initiative

Coastal First Nations - Great Bear Initiative is located in Vancouver, Canada on 409 Granville St Suite 1660. Coastal First Nations - Great Bear Initiative is rated 4.2 out of 5 in the category association or organization in Canada. The Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative is an alliance of nine First Nations along BC’s North and Central Coasts and Haida Gwaii. They include the Council of the Haida Nation, Skidegate, Old Massett, Metlakatla, Heiltsuk, Nuxalk, Gitga’at, Kitasoo/Xai’xais, and Wuikinuxv First Nations. Although each Nation has its own distinct territory, governance and culture, our territories are all found within the Great Bear Rainforest—one of the largest temperate coastal rainforest systems on Earth. After decades of industrial logging and over-fishing, we collectively vowed to create a new conservation-based economy in our territories. We promote community self-sufficiency and a sustainable approach to economic development that recognizes our Title and Rights and protects our culture and ecosystems.
