Cowichan Tribes

Project 84,000 is intended to depict the number of steelhead and trout that died in a massive fish kill in the drought-stricken Cowichan River on southern Vancouver Island last year.

A new project hopes to train a Vancouver Island First Nations “strike team” to save and salvage cultural and sacred artifacts from the growing threat of fires and floods as the climate crisis advances.

The British Columbia government is working to resolve legal disputes with First Nations outside of the courtroom to avoid "deepening divisions," Attorney General David Eby said.

The Cowichan Tribes reserve on Vancouver Island is one of the top five Indigenous communities across Canada identified as a hot spot of flood risk in a recent study.

Racist comments directed towards a British Columbia Indigenous community fighting a COVID-19 outbreak were denounced on Wednesday, January 13, 2021, by federal Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller.

Near the foot of sacred Mount Prevost where Indigenous people say their ancestors first landed on earth lays buried a 2,000-year-old settlement with archeological evidence of ancient tools, homes, hearths and grave sites.

In a tree-nestled First Nation community on Vancouver Island, forestry and farming used to be the major industries that kept the economy humming and put food on families' tables.
