Two people speaking on stage at the 12th annual Our Gathering in Vancouver, co-hosted by Katisha Paul of NEPENEK and Harold Tarbell

The three-day gathering brought together the 204 First Nations of BC, the Minister of Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs, Indigenous Services Canada, and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.

Our Gathering 2026 was a great success!

We recognize the power of connection and unity. The teachings of our ancestors shine through the strong voices of our First Nations leadership.

It was an honour to listen to the Matriarchs, Youth, Elders, and 2SLGBTQIA+ peoples advocate for the protection of our lands, waters, airs, children, culture, and languages.
