Economic Reconciliation
Economic Reconciliation We learned about Haida mechanisms for decision making, resolving conflict and gaining consensus as outlined in the Haida Constitution. Gaagwiis explained how the Haida Nation operates on a three-quarter majority threshold when voting on important decisions and that ongoing dialogue with Haida citizens is critical to achieving this. For example, following the negotiation of the Nang K’uula • Nang K’ulaas Recognition Agreement, the Haida Nation followed an approval process consisting of community consultations — including information sharing, recommendations garnered from the Haida Lands and Title Committee and Hereditary Chiefs Council — and final approval of the Council of the Haida Nation.

With respect to economic development and investment, Bill S-16 allows the Haida Nation to initiate and participate in economic development projects directly. This could include the development of Indigenous-owned businesses, partnerships with external investors and the creation of joint ventures which align with the nation’s economic goals. The ability to engage directly in the commercial market provides a platform for economic selfsufficiency and the potential to create jobs and business opportunities within the community and in accordance with the community’s values.
