Treaty 8 Tribal Association

Treaty 8 Tribal Association (T8TA) is an association of six of the eight Peace River Country First Nations bands who are signatories to Treaty 8 in northeastern British Columbia. They have joined in an effort to negotiate with British Columbia and Canada outside the British Columbia Treaty Process.[1]
