Islands Trust Policy Statement July 29, 2025First reading, for consultation Acknowledgement Islands Trust Council respectfully acknowledges that the lands and waters that encompass the Islands Trust Area have been home to Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial and that their relationship to these lands and waters continues to this day. Islands Trust Council acknowledges that residential schools, forced removal, and colonial laws and restrictions on Indigenous governance and cultural practices have displaced and dispossessed Coast Salish peoples and disrupted their relationships with the islands and waters of the Salish Sea. Islands Trust Council acknowledges that a healthy environment is essential for Indigenous Peoples to be able to exercise their inherent and treaty rights. Islands Trust Council is committed to reconciliation and to working together to preserve and protect this ecologically, culturally, and spiritually significant region in the Salish Sea. The Islands Trust Area is located within Coast Salish Territory, in the treaty lands and territories of: BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin) First Nation Da’naxda’xw/Awaetlala First Nation K’ómoks (Comox) First Nation Lhaq’temish (Lummi) Nation MÁLEXEȽ (Malahat) First Nation Mamalilikulla First Nation Qualicum First Nation Quw’utsun Nation (comprised of Cowichan Tribes, Xeláltxw (Halalt) First Nation, Lyackson First Nation, Spune’luxutth’ (Penelakut Tribe) and Stz’uminus (Chemainus) First Nation) scəẃaθən (Tsawwassen) First Nation səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nation SEMYOME (Semiahmoo) First Nation shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) First Nation Snaw-naw-as (Nanoose) First Nation Snuneymuxw (Nanaimo) First Nation Songhees First Nation SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) First Nation ɬaʔəmen (Tla’amin) First Nation Tlowitsis Nation Ts’uubaa-asatx (Lake Cowichan) First Nation Wei Wai Kum (Campbell River) First Nation We Wai Kai (Cape Mudge) First Nation W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip) First Nation W̱SIḴEM (Tseycum) First Nation Xwémalhkwu (Homalco) First Nation Xwsepsum (Esquimalt) First Nation xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nation fi2cont2 esi2e lainlfic drcou na. pym — 2l31tic1 o2 contents Contents 4 Part 1: The Islands Trust Act 4 1.1 — The Islands Trust Object 5 1.2 — Map of the Islands Trust Area 6 1.3 — Indigenous Inherent Rights Acknowledgment 6 1.4 — Purpose and Structure of the Policy Statement 8 Part 2: Guiding Principles 8 2.1 — General Guiding Principles 9 2.2 — Reconciliation Principles 9 2.3 — Cooperation Principles 11 Part 3: Goals and Policies 11 Goal 1: Advance Reconciliation 12 Goal 2: Preserve and Protect Indigenous Cultural Heritage and Culturally Significant Areas, Sites, and Species 14 Goal 3: Preserve and Protect Healthy and Biodiverse Ecosystems 15 Goal 4: Foster Sustainable, Inclusive, and Resilient Communities 19 Goal 5: Foster Sustainable Stewardship of Lands and Waters 23 Part 4: Implementation 23 4.1 — Policy Statement Implementation 26 4.2 — Pol
