Líl̓wat Nation and N’Quatqua First Nation are temporarily shutting down public access to Joffre Lakes Provincial Park so they can harvest resources, carry out ceremonial activities and educate the public.
Two B.C. First Nations are "shutting down the public access” to the popular Joffre Lakes Provincial Park until Sept. 30 to carry out a "harvest celebration."
The Líl̓wat Nation translates Nt’akmen as "our way," encompassing both culture and traditions, according to a community document describing the nation's inherent rights. "All impacted day-use pass and reservation holders have been contacted directly. Please continue to visit this page for further updates."
"Shutting down" the park will ensure opportunities for the two nations to carry out ceremonial activities within the park and educate park users on respectful behaviour when ceremonies are occurring, they said.
