Abstract

The present Act implements commitments set out in the Kunst’aa Guu – Kunst’aayah Reconciliation Protocol between the Province and the Haida Nation, which was signed 11 December 2009. The decision-making framework provides for the establishment of a Management Council made up of two appointees by each of the Haida Nation and the Province under their respective authorities, as well as a jointly appointed Chair. This Management Council will be responsible for making land and natural resource decisions over most of Haida Gwaii, including: 1) Implementation and amendment of the Haida Gwaii Strategic Land Use Agreement; 2) Establishing land use objectives for forest and range practices; 3) Determining the overall allowable annual cut; 4) Approving protected areas management plans; 5) Developing policies and standards for the identification and conservation of heritage sites.
