In March 2025, the signatories to the Tla’amin Final Agreement amended the Title to “ʔaʔǰɩnxʷegəs,” which mean “a good relationship with someone” in ʔayʔaǰuθəm (Tla’amin language). The title of the appendices was also changed, and a Glossary of ʔayʔaǰuθəm words was added.
On July 10, 2012 the Tla’amin Nation ratified its treaty, then titled ‘Tla’amin Final Agreement’, and now referred to as ʔaʔǰɩnxʷegəs and/or the Tla’amin Treaty. The BC Legislature ratified on March 14, 2013, and the Government of Canada ratified it on June 19, 2014, when it received Royal Assent by Parliament.
The Tla’amin Treaty took effect on April 5, 2016. For recent updates, please see our latest annual report.
