TREATY NEWS:

The following article is a very important

announcement that will positively impact

the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw treaty

negotiations and all First Nations in Canada

– our statement that we have Aboriginal

title in our traditional territories has now

been confirmed by the highest court in

Canada.

Please read on…

First Nations Summit Celebrates

Supreme Court of Canada’s Declaration

of Tsilhqot’in Title

The First Nations Summit (FNS) celebrates with the Tsilhqot’in

people, and all other First Nations in Canada, on this historic

day as the Supreme Court of Canada has finally issued the

very first declaration of Aboriginal title in the unanimous SCC

decision in the William case released earlier today.

“We have waited a very long time for this day. First Nations

have been fighting on the land, in the boardrooms and in the

courts for countless years seeking the meaningful recognition

of our inherent rights to our lands, as guaranteed by the

Constitution of Canada”, stated Grand Chief Edward of the

FNS political executive. “The Tsilhqot’in people have

demonstrated great courage and resolve in advancing this

case for so many years and we thank them for that. We

celebrate with them today and honour them for their

tremendous perseverance.”

“The SCC has shown courage in issuing a declaration on

Tsilhqot’in title. We are pleased the Court did not succumb to

the fear-mongering advanced by the Provinces and industry

groups. Instead, the Court has given a solid, considered

decision based on the Constitution and precedent case law”,

added Cheryl Casimer, also from the FNS political executive.

“It’s a joyous day for Canada and for Indigenous peoples. The

SCC decision is a measure of justice and a great step forward

in reconciliation.”

The Tsilhqot’in began their journey 25 years ago. A whole

generation has grown up in this time. The William case, named

for Chief Roger William of the Xeni Gwet’in First Nation, is one

of the most significant cases ever brought before the SCC.

After 339 days at trial, millions of dollars paid in legal fees, a

nearly 500-page trial decision and two appeals, the SCC has

finally given the final word by confirming that Aboriginal title is

real and that there is real meaning to the recognition and

protection of Aboriginal rights in section 35 of the Constitution

Act. The First Nations Summit was one of thirteen groups

intervening in support of the Tsilhqot'in in this important case.

“Now we can get on with the hard work of true reconciliation,”

stated Robert Phillips, political executive member of the First

Nations Summit. “The landmark decision confirms that

‘Governments are under a legal duty to negotiate in good faith’

with First Nations. The decision puts to rest at last the Crown’s

impoverished view that Aboriginal title only exists in small spots

and includes no substantive rights of jurisdiction. Now there is

truly a clearer path forward for the negotiation of fair, just and

equitable treaties and agreements in British Columbia.”

“First Nations have a desire to achieve reconciliation with the

Crown through honourable negotiations and partnerships. We

seek respectful and principled co-existence, where our

identities as pre-existing societies with land and governance

rights is respected in both law and practice. Respect for and

recognition of Indigenous human rights is fundamental to

achieve reconciliation. We believe there is a strong, principled

framework for engagement already set out in both Canadian

and international law. It is just a matter of getting on with it”,

concluded Chief John.

This article is a press release from the First Nations Summit.

Submitted by GN Treaty Office, Chief Negotiator, Colleen

Hemphill

Good Food Bag Recipes

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are enjoying the food in the Good

Food Bag as well as the recipes!

This Good Food Bag’s recipes will focus on

alternative healthy ingredients and different

ways of cooking. A lot of people have restrictions

to their diet whether it be due to allergies,

sensitivities or health concerns so it’s handy to

find some alternatives to great dishes.

These recipes are a bit more prep-work than the

last ones but you can use a crock-pot to save time

and they are delicious!!

Let me know how you like the dessert…sadly I

am allergic to strawberries.

--

Michelle Beaulieu,

Food Security & Nurtition Coordinator

[email protected]

Main Dish: Zucchini Lasagna

Lasagna is a great dish to make as you can pack

in a lot of veggies, flavors and nutrients! You can

make the sauce ahead and even freeze it for

future meals or use your crock-pot to save time in

the evenings.

For pasta dishes, people with gluten intolerances

or sensitivities and people that can’t have a high

carbohydrate diet (some diabetics) due to their

high content of refined sugars just can’t or should

limit eating certain carbs. Substituting the pasta

with zucchini is a great way for everyone to enjoy

the dish.

While pasta (carbohydrates) is not necessarily

bad all the time and you don’t need to fully

eliminate it from your diet, choosing certain

carbohydrates are better for you than others

(whole wheat pastas over white). Remember a

diet too low or too high in anything is not good

for you. Moderation is key and switching pasta

for a “veggie noodle” every once in a while is a

fun way to add balance to your eating routines.

Ingredients for the lasagna:

Zucchini thinly sliced lengthwise (one

zucchini should be sliced into 6-8 long

pieces).

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tbsp Italian seasoning

a handful of fresh parsley

2 bay leaves

5-6 mushrooms, sliced

1 onion, chopped

2 carrots, grated

spinach, chopped

4 med-lg tomatoes, chopped small

Mozzarella cheese, grated

Cooked ground meat (beef, chicken,

turkey or wild game), any type will work

nicely.

To prepare:

1. Slice the zucchini lengthwise, thinly.

Place slices in a strainer and sprinkle salt

Page 14: June 27 2014 yo news

PAGE 14 GWA’SALA-’NAKWAXDA’XW NATIONS YO! NEWS 06/27/2014

over the slices. Let sit in a sink or over a

bowl for at least 1hr then rinse, pat dry

and set aside.

*The salt will extract water out of the

zucchini or else your lasagna will be very

soupy. So the longer you let sit, the better.

2. Cook meat and set aside, straining the

extra fat from the cooked meat.

3. Add chopped tomato, onion, carrot, herbs,

garlic, cooked meat, bay leaf and other

veggies like peppers to a pot and let

simmer (med-low / med heat), stirring

often until cooked through ~1hr.

4. Pour a thin layer of sauce in a deep

baking dish, top with zucchini (see

picture), pour another layer of sauce,

place spinach as a layer, top with

zucchini, last layer of sauce and then top

with cheese.

5. Bake at 350oF for 1hr.

6. Take lasagna out and let sit for 15 min so

the sauce sets (it won’t be as runny and

will be easier to cut).

Side Dish: Broccoli Salad

The beloved broccoli salad, full of good vitamins

from the vegetables but usually overrun with a

processed dressing like mayonnaise. Using

yogurt the dressing takes on a fresh, sweet and

zesty taste that hopefully everyone will enjoy.

For people who have allergies to nuts, you can

substitute seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds

etc). Seeds and nuts provide good fats that

nurture our bodies unlike processed fats such as

mayonnaise.

The dried fruits can be substituted for fresh

berries from the wild or something like cut up

grapes also goes well.

Ingredients for the salad:

1 crown broccoli, chopped into small

pieces.

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

dried berries (blueberries, cranberries, or

currants etc)

Fresh fruit such as grapes (optional)

Walnuts, Almonds or Pecans (substitute

for nuts – pumpkin or sunflower seeds),

lightly toasted.

Ingredients for the dressing:

2/3 cup plain organic plain yogurt

Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1-2 tablespoons honey

To prepare:

1. Toast the nuts or seeds by putting them in

a pan on low heat, stirring often until

they slightly brown. Toasting the

nuts/seeds on high heat significantly

reduces the quality of their nutrition not

to mention makes them very quick to

burn.

2. Chop broccoli including stem into small

pieces and put in a bowl.

*If you have a hard time chewing broccoli you

can steam it until just cooked (still a bit

crunchy but softer). Let it cool completely,

and then chop into small pieces.

3. Chop red onion into thin slices,

Page 15: June 27 2014 yo news

PAGE 15 GWA’SALA-’NAKWAXDA’XW NATIONS YO! NEWS 06/27/2014

add to broccoli.

3. In a separate smaller bowl combine

yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest (optional)

and honey. This dressing is best blended

with a blender or it may take a bit to mix

in the honey.

*if you don’t have a lemon zester you can

always use the smaller side of a cheese

grater. Lemon zest is optional for the

dressing but adds a nice zing!

Healthy Dessert or Snack:

Strawberries in Almond Milk

Sticking with the theme of alternate ingredients,

here’s a substitute for milk products as some

people who are lactose intolerant can’t have milk.

When shopping at the grocery store, choose

almond milk that is preferably organic with no

added sugars in the ingredients.

Honey is also a fantastic substitute for highly

refined sugars, which are carbohydrates (white

sugar, corn syrups, brown sugar, fructose etc).

Refined sugars have proven negative effects on

the body such as raising cholesterol levels,

contributing to insulin resistance leading to

diabetes, slowing down your metabolism and

many more. No need to get scared or

overwhelmed with this as learning to balance

your diet can be fun and tasty!! Remember while

honey and fresh berries has lots of health

benefits such as helping boost your immune

system, they still contain sugar (healthier

option), so moderation is key, especially for

diabetics.

Ingredients:

Strawberries, stemmed and sliced.

Honey

Almond milk

Vanilla extract

Fresh Cherries, pitted and cut in half

(optional)

To prepare:

1. Stem and slice strawberries, place in

bowl. Include fresh cherries or other

berries if you like.

2. Pour desired amount of almond milk

over berries.

3. Add ¼ tsp of vanilla to the bowl and

mix.

4. Drizzle ½ tbsp. (or less) of honey over

the berries and enjoy the amazing taste!
