Tsawwassen First Nation

Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) is a proud Coast Salish nation south of the Fraser River along the Salish Sea. TFN is a modern treaty First Nation under the terms of a Final Agreement with Canada and British Columbia that became effective in 2009. The Tsawwassen First Nation Final Agreement is the first modern urban treaty in British Columbia, and the first to be negotiated through the BC Treaty Commission process. TFN is now going through a period of revival and renewal as we plan our future and work towards our goal of becoming a strong, self-sufficient and sustainable First Nation for present and future generations. With a land base of 1,800 acres (724 hectares), TFN Lands are no longer “reserve” lands under the Indian Act; TFN owns its lands in fee simple and operates within the BC Land Title system.
