Pacheedaht First Nation is celebrating an agreement that begins to right a historic wrong by returning stewardship of a stretch of beach to its rightful owners.
Pacheedaht First Nation Chief Jeff Jones and federal Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree signed an agreement Wednesday returning the stewardship of Middle Beach to the Pacheedaht First Nation.
The stretch of land known as Middle Beach in Pacific Rim National Park near Port Renfrew is an important shoreline area in Pacheedaht’s traditional territory.
