The series contains records created and accumulated by the Parks and Protected Areas Branch during consultations with Indigenous Communities in British Columbia regarding provincial parks and other protected areas.

The records are arranged according to BC Parks Operational Records Classification System (ORCS), Schedule 113827. Specific records in this accession correspond with the primary numbers 80010 to 80040 which concern Aboriginal Affairs. According to the records, files appear to have been created for each project, issue or Indigenous group, though they do not appear to be arranged chronologically or alphabetically as per the ORCS guidelines.

Records cover a broad range of topics but mainly include negotiation files, group-specific files and incident files. The Treaty Negotiation files consider common issues that span several areas in British Columbia that are being considered for protected areas, and how to deal with those issues. These include topics such as treaty negotiations regarding fish, habitat protection, water and wildlife, acquiring private lands for conversion to parklands, land selection approaches, and general policies regarding negotiations with Indigenous populations. Types of records include draft cabinet submissions, operational guidelines, correspondence, annotated decision documents, papers, positions, proposals, minutes, presentation notes, news releases, logs and backgrounders.

Group-specific negotiation files include records that chronicle the treaty process between the Provincial Government and the Indigenous groups living on or near potential protected areas. These records include discussion papers, instructions, correspondence, terms of reference and other background informational documents. Topics that arise in these discussions involve First Nations’ rights to harvesting fish, their role in fisheries management, economic opportunities and environmental concerns. Treaty negotiations involve Indigenous groups such as the Tsawwassen, Nisga’a, Lheidli T’enneh, Katzie, Northern Nations Summit (Carcross Tagish First Nation, Champagne Aishihik First Nation, Kaska Dena Council, Tahltan Joint Councils, Taku River Tlingit First Nation, Teslin Tlingit Council and Tsay Keh Dene), Te’Mexw, and the Skeetchestn Indian Band, among others.

There are also specific issue files that were created after the conclusion of treaty negotiations and the establishment of protected areas. These files are named either by the incident, project or the Indigenous group involved. Records relate to problematic use of protected areas by Indigenous groups that required legal consultation and special consideration in relation to their land-use rights. There are also files related to cooperative park management agreements, economic opportunities and funding for Indigenous groups living in protected areas. Records include court case summaries, legal advice, correspondence, and project proposals for the Economic Measures Fund by Indigenous groups.
