News & Announcements
Sinixt Statement in Response to False and Revisionist Syilx Okanagan Nation Representation and Title Claims
In a landmark decision for reconciliation and justice, the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed in the 2021 Desautel case that the Sinixt are an Aboriginal People of Canada. They did not say that we are represented by any other organizations in Canada—the decision reaffirmed our unique identity and underscored the importance of addressing the historical wrongs that severed our ties to our homeland.
Sinixt Statement on ONA Public Relations Campaign
The Sinixt Confederacy and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (CTCR) are aware of the recent campaign launched by the Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA) to assert claims over Sinixt territory based on the false assertion that the Sinixt are part of a larger Sylix Okanagan Nation.
