Attention Metlakatla Members:
On Wednesday, February 7, 2024, the Metlakatla First Nation received the full $150 million settlement from the Government of Canada related to the 1906 Settlement. With the funds in place, staff and Council are ensuring all of the legal paperwork is in place to commence the member distribution. Look for more information in the coming weeks and thank you for your patience.
We need YOUR input on the Proposed Ksi Lisims LNG Project.
