First Nations Casino British Columbia Canada
BC has the greatest diversity of Aboriginal cultures in Canada. Seven of Canada's 11 unique language families are located exclusively in British Columbia, which is more than 60% of the country's First Nations languages.
In all, they speak seven major language familes broken up into over 30 dialects. Each nation has its own unique tradition and history.
Most British Columbia First Nations did not sign treaties in the past, making modern treaty negotiations a major undertaking. The Government of Canada, along with the Province of BC, is negotiating with 70 per cent of BC First Nations through the British Columbia Treaty Process.
Today, there are approximately 200,000 Aboriginal people in British Columbia. Aboriginal people include First Nations, Inuit, Métis and children of First Nations and European settlers.
