The chief of the K'ómoks First Nation on Vancouver Island says members have voted in favour of both a treaty and constitution, opening the door for the nation to reclaim a culture that faced eradication under the Indian Act.

The First Nation, which is comprised of just over 350 members, has four reserves on central Vancouver Island.  The main reserve is located in the Courtenay-Comox area.

Nation leadership has been working for more than three decades on a treaty to assert self-governance and full ownership of 35 square kilometres of land in the nation.
