The Syilx Okanagan Nation has the inherent jurisdiction to manage the land and resources within its territory.
The Fisheries and Natural Resources Department supports the Nation in its efforts to conserve, manage, co-manage and where appropriate, develop the natural resources of the lands and waters of the Nation’s territory. In doing so, the Nation will be true to its spiritual and environmental values, mindful of the economic and social needs and aspirations of its individual bands, and strong in its assertion of the Nation’s rights and title to its entire area of occupancy and use.
The Fisheries and Natural Resources Department is a technical resource to the ONA and each of the ONA member communities. We continually develop key processes and tools, which are specifically designed to assist and support resource management strategies, decision-making, and management for the Territory and member communities.
