==Treaty==
{{main|Nisga'a Final Agreement}}
On August 4, 1998, a land-claim was settled between the Nisga’a, the government of [[British Columbia]], and the [[Government of Canada]]. As part of the settlement in the Nass River valley, nearly {{cvt|2,000|km2}} of land was officially recognized as Nisga’a, and a {{cvt|300,000|dam3|acre-ft|lk=in}} water reservation was also created. [[Bear Glacier Provincial Park]] was also created as a result of this agreement. The land-claim's settlement was the first formal treaty signed by a [[First Nations in Canada|First Nation]] in British Columbia since the [[Douglas Treaties]] in 1854 ([[Vancouver Island]]) and [[Treaty 8]] in 1899 (northeastern British Columbia). The land owned collectively is under internal pressures from the Nisga'a people to turn it over into a system of individual ownership. This would have an effect on the rest of Canada in regards to First Nations lands.<ref name="land treaty">{{Cite episode|title=This Land is My Land|url=http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/this-land-is-my-land-nov-4-2013-1.2355365 |series=The Current|series-link=The Current (radio program)|first=Anna Maria|last=Tremonti|author-link=Anna Maria Tremonti|network=CBC Radio One|date=4 November 2013|access-date=4 November 2013}}</ref>
