Who we are:

In 2022, the Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo Nations established Sacred Waters, a joint economic development company, to build the Nations\xe2\x80\x99 capacity to benefit from economic development opportunities within the shared territory. Sacred Waters is intended to play a role in this journey through real estate development, establishing strategic and sustainable ventures aligned with Nation\xe2\x80\x99s needs and the creation of partnerships to achieve these ambitions.

As Coast Salish people, the relationship between the Katzie, Kwantlen, and Semiahmoo First Nations is based on a shared language, similar cultural and spiritual practices, a strong connection to the land, and broad kinship ties that stretch back millennia. Individual members of each community will often have family ties connecting them to neighboring Nations. In modern times, the kinship ties between the three Nations continues to shape their relationship to each other and the larger world around them. For several years, Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo have worked to strengthen their working relationship, advance joint economic development opportunities within the shared territory.

The three Nations are committed to cooperation and further strengthening their working relationship to better advance their shared rights and title interests. This important work is an essential part of honouring the commitment and sacrifices of the Nations\xe2\x80\x99 ancestors and ensuring that future generations will be able to live happy, secure, and prosperous lives on their traditional and unceded lands.
