Sechelt traditional lands and waters are located around the Sechelt Peninsula on the Sunshine Coast. The Sechelt treaty table achieved an Agreement in Principle and later decided to step back from treaty negotiations. In 1986, Sechelt became self-governing when it ratified the Sechelt Indian Band Self-Government Act. There are approximately 1,440 Sechelt members.
Sechelt has overlapping and/or shared territory with its First Nation neighbours: Nanoose, Squamish and Tla’amin.
