ST'ÁT'IMC VISION STATEMENT

Our vision is of a continuing and renewed relationship between St'át'imc people (ucwalmicw) and the land (tmicw) which:

• respects St'át'imc cultural traditions - using the ways (nt'ákmen), laws (nxékmen) and standards of our people as passed down through the generations;
• respects nature - putting the health of the water, the air, the plants, the animals and the land itself before all else;
• is under St'át'imc authority - letting our people decide collectively how the land and resources of the St'át'imc territory will be managed; and,
• serves the St'át'imc communities - recognizing that resources continue to provide sustenance in old and new ways to all our people.
