Acknowledgements

First and foremost, we gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the experts in communities who so generously shared their knowledge and experience. As well, Indigenous university researchers gave feedback, recommended resources, and gave interviews.

The BC Specific Claims Working Group also gratefully acknowledges the work of the research team that traveled to communities to conduct interviews and take photos. This team included Ardith Walkem, Halie Bruce, Sophie Bruce-Walkem, Hanna Bruce-Walkem, Calum Bain, and Angie Bain.

 We would also like to thank the representatives of BC Indigenous Nations who participated in the 2017 engagement sessions, run by the Assembly of First Nations, about how to reform the specific claims process. It was from these Nations that the renewed call for integration of Indigenous laws into specific claims arose.

Financial support for this project was provided by the Law Foundation of British Columbia and the Government of Canada.
