West Coast Environmental Law
From principles to plan
“Ha’nii tokxw” means “our food table” and is the Gitanyow designation that encompasses the land, water, air and all resources associated with Hanna Tintina and the Biodiversity Areas set out in Schedules A and B,
where landscape is retained in a predominantly natural condition (as per conditions under traditional Gitanyow management)
to maintain and enhance the availability of Gitanyow foods, and protect the water that is the lifeblood of the Gitanyow Lax’yip.
