Mr. Nelson Leeson, President

Nisga'a Lisims Government

Tait Avenue

PO Box 229

New Aiyansh, BC V0J 1A0

Dear Mr. Leeson:

Nisga'a Lisims Government Internet Site appears to have been brought up to date so it would be consistant with your interpretations of our Nisa'a Nation Constitution and Nisga'a Final Agreement.

Some of your site information clearly explains Nisga'a Lisims Government's decisions and actions resulting in the systematic obliteration of the Nisga'a Nation as owners of Nisga'a Assets as asserted by the Supreme Court in 1969 and most recently by YOUR Nisga'a Final Agreement's pitiful designation of assets.  Some of the ramifications of SELF government have been no new homes since May 11, 2000 in Gingolx, Greenville, and Canyon City followed by eviction notices and evictions, without any emergency shelters in place; illegal logging on "court injunction" threatened hereditary chiefs' lands; illegal 24/7 Nisga'a Lisims Government fish wheel "communal" fish harvesting - resulting in truck loads of fish leaving the valley as our fishers adhere to rules and regulations enacted without consultation due to manufactured reasons such as insufficient returns, low escapement reports, etc.

Nisga'a Lisims Government, again - without consulting the Nisga'a Nation,  added yourselves as defendants of the Nisga'a Nation Constitution and Nisga'a Final Agreement - What exactly are you defending?

If you are so  concerned and determined to defend certain constitutional and final agreement sections - why aren't you adhering to and defending the following:

Nisga'a Nation Constitution

Chapter 3 Lands and Resources

16.     Determination of ownership of Nisga'a Lands

Ownership of Nisga'a Lands by the Nisga'a Nation and Nisga'a Villages will be determined in accordance with the Nisga'a Treaty.

Chapter 4  Government of the Nisga'a Nation

23.     Governing principles of the Nisga'a Nation

The Nisga'a Nation expects Nisga'a Lisims Government, each Nisga'a Village Government, each Nisga'a Institution and each elected member of Nisga'a Government, to:

(a)  be loyal to the Nisga'a Nation, and respect this Constitution;

(b)  preserve and promote the peace, unity and well being of the Nisga'a Nation;

(c ) provide good, effective, and accountable government; and

(d)  cooperate with one another in mutual trust and good faith, consult and inform one     another on matters of common interest, and coordinate their actions and laws with one another.

24.      Social and economic goals of the Nisga'a Nation

          The Nisga'a Nation expects Nisga'a Government to pursue, among other goals:

(a)  that Nisga'a citizens have access to pre-school to grade 12 and post-education at standards at least comparable to those prevailing in Canada;

(b)  that Nisga'a citizens have access to nutrition, shelter, health care services and social services;

(c ) that Nisga'a citizens have access to housing;

(d) that every Nisga'a child

(i)  has a home with family care or parental care, or appropriate alternative   care when removed from the family environment; and

(ii) is protected from maltreatment, neglect, or abuse including exploitative labour practices; and

(e)  that the environment of the Nass Area is protected from ecological degradation.

Nisga'a Final Agreement

Chapter 3 LANDS

Ownership of Nisga'a Lands

3.       On the effective date, the Nisga'a Nation owns Nisga'a Lands in fee simple, being the largest estate known in law.  This estate is not subject to any condition, proviso, restriction, exception, or reservation set out in the Land Act, or any comparable limitation under any federal or provincial law.  No estate or interest in Nisga'a Lands can be exprorpriated except as permitted by, and in accordance with, this Agreement.

MINERAL RESOURCES

19.     For greater certainty, in accordance with paragraph 3, on the effective date the Nisga'a Nation owns all mineral resources on or under Nisga'a Lands.

Chapter 5 FOREST RESOURCES

OWNERSHIP OF RESOURCES

3.       On the effective date, the Nisga'a Nation owns all forest resources on Nisga'a Lands.

Chapter 8 FISHERIES

GENERAL

Nisga'a Fish Entitlements

4.       Nisga'a fish entitlements are held by the Nisga'a Nation.

5.       The Nisga'a Nation may not dispose of Nisga'a fish entitlements.

From these few sections - how do you figure that the Nisga'a Nation is only a meal ticket (per capita receipt of funds) to your government?

Immediately change some of your site reports  according to the Nisga'a Constitution and Nisga'a Final Agreement as it states under Lands and Resources Subsurface Resources (and possibly others:)

Lands & Resources

Subsurface Resources

Nisga’a Government owns all mineral resources on or under Nisga’a Lands, including:

·                     precious and base metals

·                     coal, petroleum, natural gases and geothermal resources

·                     earth, soil, peat, and marl (deposits of clay and calcium carbonate)

·                     sand, gravel, rock and stone

Lisims Forest Resources LLP

In 2003, Nisga’a Lisims Government created Lisims Forest Resources LLP to manage the marketing and sale of Nisga’a forest resources. Wholly-owned by NLG, Lisims Forest Resources LLP seeks to expand and diversify the market for Nisga’a wood, which is used to build a wide range of products from multi-story buildings to fine, handmade guitars. Hemlock, balsam fir, cedar, spruce, and several deciduous species are harvested from Nisga’a Lands. In addition to domestic clients, Lisims Forest Resources LLP sells Nisga’a wood to China, Japan, and Korea, and is actively seeking partners to develop value-added wood products for both domestic and international customers.

Fisheries & Wildlife

Nisga’a Fisheries Ltd.

A wholly-owned Nisga’a Lisims Government corporation, Nisga’a Fisheries Ltd. oversees the harvest and sale of Nisga’a fish. Fresh and fresh-frozen Nisga’a fish are sold across Canada and the United States. Nisga’a Fisheries Ltd. operates three landing sites on the Nass River and is responsible for grading, counting, and weighing salmon for payment, as well as sales of insulated fish totes (carriers) and the distribution of flaked ice to eligible Nisga’a fishers to ensure a superior quality product. It also oversees the transport of all salmon to a central depot located at the Nisga’a Fresh Fish Plant at New Aiyansh. Nisga’a Fisheries Ltd. is actively seeking experienced partners to help further expand our market presence across North America and beyond.

Most importantly - Nisga'a Lisims Government, under your leadership, has failed to consult with the owners of all the lands and all the resources in the Nass Valley - the Nisga'a Nation - the population you are supposed to serve.  As a reminder, your definition of "consult" means provision to a Party of:

a.       notice of a matter to be decided, in sufficient detail to permit the Party to prepare its views on the matter;

b.       a reasonable period of time to permit the Party to prepare its view on the matter;

c.       an opportunity for the Party to present its view on the matter; and

d.       a full and fair consideration of any views on the matter so presented by the Party.

Our Nisga'a Assembly is scheduled for next week, can you address whether your government has followed the Nisga'a Nation Constitution regarding:

Chapter 9 - Financial Administration

52.      Control of financial administration

Wilp Si'ayuukhl Nisga'a must make laws to establish a system of financial administration, through which Nisga'a Lisims Government will be financially accountable to Nisga'a citizens, and Nisga'a Village Governments will be financial accountable to Nisga'a citizens of those Nisga'a Villages, and that includes standards comparable to those generally accepted for governments in Canada.

53.       Nisga'a settlement trust

          (1)     The Nisga'a Nation must establish a Nisga'a settlement trust.

(2)     A document establishing a Nisga'a settlement trust in accordance with subsection (1) must require that the trustee or trustees be appointed only by persons elected to Nisga'a Government.

54.     Lisims Fisheries Conservation Trust

(1)     The President, in consultation with the other members of the Nisga'a Lisims Government Executive and on the recommendation of the Nisga'a Finance Committee, may exercise any power of the Nisga'a Nation to appoint trustees of the Lisims Fisheries Conservation Trust.

(2)     The Trustees referred to in subsection (1) will discharge their responsibilities in accordance with the  Nisga'a Treaty.

55.     Independence of trustees

Trustees of a Nisga'a settlement trust, or of the Lisims Fishries Conservation Trust appointed under subsection 55(1), in acting as trustees, are independent of Nisga'a Government.

55(1) does not exist.  Who are these trustees?  When will they present and distribute audited financial statements to the Nisga'a Nation?

Here is a letter from Mr. Aaron J. GreyCloud written prior to the Nisga'a Final Agreement.  This letter was never published by anyone (Canadian freedom of press) as that would interfere with your job of Indian Agent for the Canadian Government and their path to eradicate their "Indian Problem in Canada" -  one Nation at a time. What he wrote is our reality.  At the assembly, will you address  how your government avoided these scenarios since 2000.  Refrain from referring to NLG companies as they would not have existed if NLG did not steal money from Core Program Funds and the Nisga'a Nation and used the funds to subsidize the Nisga'a economic welfare system for friends and relatives.

Last but not least, Nisga'a (in name only) Lisims Government has been receiving the full amount of social services assistance funds for qualified recipients; however, Nisga'a Lisims Government decides how much is paid to each individual - which was $185 a month.  How did you and your peers arrive at this figure yet the first order of business of the newly elected Nisga'a Lisims Government was to give yourselves increases.  Here are some of the salaries that you found hard to live on in 2004:  President $103,550, Sec Treas $98,100, Chairperson $98,100 and the Chief Councillors, Councillors and Urban reps ranged from $42,000 to $50,000 per year (this does not include per diems.)

                      -    Grievances in Brief – Re: The Nisga’a Treaty –

-         Nisga’a Lisims Government –

  -  From Git Gingolx Members-

-         17   July, 2007 –

Preamble:

Years before the Nisga’a Treaty was approved, we the people of Gingolx supported the notion that we needed a Treaty to improve our lives. We, with the other three Nisga’a Reserves made great sacrifice to raise money to pay our Lawyers Fees and their travel, which were to represent our best interest.

Prior to the Treaty, we practiced our Ayuuklth Nisga’a without fear; it is an ancient Nisga’a Law that governed the way we lived, it ensured fair cultural and political correctness, to be fair to one another, not to take other peoples traditional names, not to trespass on some one else’s lands, their private properties, Ango’askws, other than our own; this was respect.

The Treaty has put a few people to work and only those who work for the Lisims Government, and this treaty only employs the Village Government representatives and not the people within, we are without.

The Nisga’a Negotiators deceived us, the people of Gingolx in order to achieve their Treaty. We do not consider this Treaty part of our Treaty, because it only serves one Village, the Capital of the Nisga’a Lisims Government. It has taken all of the Chiefs and Matriarchs lands under the Gingolx stewardship, and we received nothing in return.

To this day, the people of Gingolx are still suffering from unemployment, no housing issued to Gingolx since the Treaty, our roads in our community are deplorable, and Elders are left without, People are with out hydro, while our Leaders are wallowing in riches, and living in hotels while we are without. The money’s that is supposed to be used for the people are mismanaged and spent by Officials travel, hotel, meals while our people live on $185.00 a Month. This is deplorable. We have become a “Third World Country,” in a rich environment, called Canada, and nothing is done to help us. Canada and the Province don’t listen to our plight.

Therefore; We the Git Gingolx presents you with this brief in order that you will see first hand that the Nisga’a Treaty does not work for all Nisga’a. The following are the grievances of the Git Gingolx taken from the public meeting minutes.

-Gingolx Grievances –

1.     The Chiefs and Matriarchs lands were taken in trade for the  Nisga’a Treaty, without consultation, without consent, without compensation.

2.      Due to our lands being taken, we have no lands for economic development, No economic development for permanent jobs or for housing, without our lands we have nothing.

3.      Our lands are illegally put on the Stock Market in Toronto and Berlin Germany. Other Nations are going to own our lands, this is genocide.

4.      The Lisims Government has logged off Ango’askws that are inherited through generation and generation to Chiefs and Matriarchs to be protected for generation yet to come. This is genocide.

5.      We want our lands returned to the Chiefs and Matriarchs and Families who own them before the Treaty; these lands were inherited from our great grandfathers and our great grandmothers to be passed down to the next generation to come. Without the land, we are nothing.

6.      Our birthrights are in question, as we have to apply for Nisga’a Citizenship. Why do we have to apply to be Nisga’a Citizen when we are Nisga’a? Only those who are from the outside tribes and are married to the Nisga’a should make application to become a citizen.

7.      There are no Human Rights with the Nisga’a Treaty, there is no place to take our grievances, if we speak up about our concerns; we are ostracized, and so are our families.

8.      There is no ombudsman to listen to our grievances, no intermediate to settle disputes, our only alternative are the Provincial and Federal Courts and we do not have the financial resources to keep going to Court. Therefore we are in dire straits and there is no change. There should be an Ombudsman available to hear our grievances and to remedy our concerns before it get s to the court.

9.      Where we used to fish for our winter supplies and our livelihood, we are allowed 4 spring salmon a year, 500 sockeye, which we must sell at half price to the Lisims Government agent, pay them rent for the boats we use, If we do not sell to the Lisims Government, our boats are taken away, and we live in poverty for the rest of the year.

10.     To many are living below the poverty line, and living on $185.00 a month welfare. We are worse off now than we were before the treaty.

 11.    There has been no housing for the Git Gingolx since the Treaty was approved. We are the same as those who live in third world countries,

12.    There are no housing repairs for those who need it, whatever is available goes to those in power and their families.

13.     Elders in Gingolx are having a hard time to get groceries, they have to pay $60.00 from their meager allowances to get to Terrace, which leaves them little to live on, their monies are spent before they get the food.

14.    There are no recreation dollars to keep our youths occupied all year long; therefore there is depression, oppressin alcohol, and drugs to fill their spare time. Spare time they have a lot of because they have no jobs.

15.    There is no law and order in Gingolx, bootlegging, drugs is being sold and we have no one to take our concerns to. The RCMP come after the fact and caters to the Capital of the Nass River only. There are no workshops from the RCMP to our youths and adults to make them aware of the law.

16.    There are no rehabilitation Centers on the Nass to heal our people from depression, oppression, alcohol and drugs, family problems, and to get off habitual drugs.

17.    The treaty monies are misused and mismanaged from all levels of the Nisga’a Government. They are not accountable to anyone but to themselves. This is unacceptable.

18.    The Lisims Government is not listening to the concerns of the average Nisga’a Member. They have forgotten the main reason why we all wanted the treaty; it was to make our lives better, not worse.

19.    Our Nisga’a Culture is water down and only used as a big show when other people come to visit our Territory. We want our Culture back under Ayuule’lth Nisga’a rather then under the political Modern day Nisga’a Lisims Government Treaty.

20.    Our Nisga’a language does not sound like the Old Nisga’a Language. A foreign dialect was incorporated to our Nisga’a Language words and now our language is in jeopardy, without the proper Nisga’a Language our Culture and our Traditions will disappear; this is Cultural genocide to which was once a great race of aboriginal people.

 21.    We have Elders abuse in our villages, and this is not our Nisga’a Culture, we used to have respect for our Elders. What has happened our culture, where has our tradition gone? This has happened after the treaty, we no longer have control over our identity

22.    Nisga’a Lisims Government and the Village Government are having meetings behind closed doors, like they did when they negotiated the Treaty. We are the people; we are supposed to be the government .We need the protection of the Canadian Constitution.   

23.    By 2012, everybody will be paying taxes, and this will come as a shock to the people. We did not give consent to give up our tax exemption. This was a right given to us by the Crown, in the Common Wealth.

24.    The Lisims Government is accountable only to themselves .It is imperative that the financiers ensure proper fiscal management to ensure transparency to the Nisga’a People and the taxpayers.

25.    That a forensic auditor be provided by the Federal and Provincial Government for all accounts of the Nisga’a Lisims Governments, The Village Governments and all the Urban Locals. To ensure that monies are spent where the money is supposed to be spent.

26.    That the health issues be a priority to the Nisga’a people by the Lisims Government. Gingolx is the furthest away from Terrace and our Clinic is important to us, it is not our fault that health monies are mismanaged by the Lisims Government and our health benefits should not be jeopardized as a result, If they cannot managed the monies, than we should be returned to the DIAND.

27.    Due to the high cost of travel to Terrace and Prince Rupert by the Git Gingolx to see their Doctors and Dentist, a mobile Doctor and Dentist should be hired to attend the sick, and to maintain good health for all Nisga’a people. The Doctor and Dentist should reside in Gingolx, as we are the furthest to travel to Terrace and Prince Rupert, B.C, travel for the Doctor and Dentist should be on a weekly basis to the other Villages, and to ensure that medication is available for the Nisga’a people at all times.

28.    That each Nisga’a Village and The Lisims Government hire Nisga’a people first before hiring outside help, and that the hiring practices is equal with all villages. That the jobs be posted to ensure all Nisga’a are notified of all job openings.

29.    That there be no selective discrimination as to who is and who is not a Nisga’a. Those of us who were conceived as Nisga’a, born Nisga’a and will always be Nisga’a till the day we die, and even in our graves we are Nisga’a. We should not need to apply to become a Citizen of the Nisga’a Lisims Government, as we are Nisga’a. Only those who were not born Nisga’a and who are married to a Nisga’a should make application to be a part of the Nisga’a Government. This is selective discrimination, and should be stopped.

We are the victims of this Modern Day Nisga’a Treaty. The Gingolx people did not want the treaty. The Gingolx people made a “Resolution “to withdraw from negotiations, and this Treaty was forced upon us. We want our Wilps, Chiefs, Matriarch, our Ayuuk’lth Nisga’a and our Culture recognized and protected under the Canadian Constitution and The Crown.

We want the Federal and Provincial Government to intervene on our behalf. We want fairness and justice for our people and our plights. We believe and have faith in the Canadian Institutions and the Canadian Government to do the right thing for the Git Gingolx. We have become destitute in our own Country and this is shameful for a bountiful Country like Canada.

This is our presentation to the Provincial Government, and a copy will be forwarded to the Federal Government, for action.

These are a few grievances of the people of Gingolx taken from the minutes of all our public meetings in Gingolx.

Thank you for reading and listening to our concerns.

May 29, 2007

We would like to thank you in advance for taking time to read this letter. This concerns the Celebration with the Nisga’a Lisims Government in New Aiyansh June 11 to 14 2007, where Our People of Gingolx are once again been asked to put on your regalia and dance. Feed the hundreds of people that will be there. Where is the money coming from?  Those that receive $185.00 a month need that money to survive. People living on a pension need to survive.

 But keep in mind that On Thursday June 14 2007 Sganisim Sim’augit (Chief Mountain) and Nisibilada (Mercy Thomas) will appear unrepresented (without a lawyer) before three Justices of the BC Supreme Court of Appeal in Vancouver. And they are not in it for the money or for themselves. Nisibilada (Mercy Thomas) will be representing our case on behave of all those Matriarchs and Chiefs who lost their Ancestral lands through this treaty.

 They are fighting for you, Our Dear People of Gingolx and for the future of your children: They are in court for our Aboriginal title and Ancestral Lands that belong to Gingolx; for all the injustice that is happening to all Nisga’a People in our Nation who are to afraid to speak out for themselves.

As we mentioned in the meeting at the Long House, “Why give Joe Gosnell the honor on your behave to speak at this celebration in New Aiyansh? After all, Joe Gosnell signed away our Aboriginal titles and all Kincolith Lands, when he signed the treaty.”

There is a letter, which I will attach concerning millions of dollars missing in our Nisga’a Lisims Government; there is information about moneys stolen in the Vancouver Nisga’a Local of approximately $150,000 thousand dollars plus taken by an Elected Member and The Terrace Nisga’a Society (and this is all facts not gossip.) Lee Stevens from the Terrace Nisga’a Local received 50 hours community service for thousands of dollars stolen from the Terrace Nisga’a Society money and this does not include the Lisims Money, which was in the Terrace Standard.

When will we see accountability on all this stolen money? And When will we quit honoring those who are doing wrong and lifting them up as examples to our children. These are Elected Members that are suppose to be trust worthy. Is this, what the treaty is all about to our Elected  People? Or are they practicing that Nisga’a Law Prevails? With no consequences of their action.

Our lands are illegally been put on the stock market in Germany, shares been sold. Nass Valley Gateway Ltd with the company’s controlling shareholders are the Nisga’a GITXAT’IN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (GDC) is getting the monies from this deal .Why is Kincolith negotiating for 2% when they originally owned 100% before the treaty was signed in 1996 as you will see on the letter attached. Our lands are been logged off and everyone is silent except for a few Respected Elders that are speaking out in our Nation and have not been heard by the Lisims Government or Village Government.

There has been no new house’s build for the past 7 plus years in our community. Elders are required to pay for their own repairs. If you’re honest with yourself, you will admit that our medical is cut back to the bear bone, and in 2012 we will pay for our own medications, hospital visits, travel etc. It’s beginning to happen already.

There are no permanent Jobs for our people as promised when they presented the treaty, the promise was that everyone will be working. Only a handful of the selected few are employed permanently while others are unfortunate to have to survive on $185.00 month welfare, and when we speak out we are ostracized.  

Taxation is just around the corner; we will pay taxes on ALL OUR PAYCHECKS, PENSIONS, UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, PROPERTY/LAND, UTILLITY BILLS, PRIVATE BUSINESS, FISHING VESSELS etc. and everything that we purchased, so with that, we will need to make adjustments in our financial budget. Are we all prepared for this?  Paying taxes is not like putting money in the bank as one young man said to us.  It is not optional. EVERYONE HAS TO PAY TAXES, RICH OR POOR. We spoke to the Representative of finance for the Federal & Provincial Government and this is what he told us.

Please look deep into your hearts and see where your children will be in another 10 years. There is no accountability in our Government where the Nisga’a Dollars are concerned. They do not report to anyone who will hold them accountable.

Let us speak out in our public meetings and ask questions, WE HAVE A CHOICE -WE CAN SIT AT HOME AND SEE THE MONEY’S DISAPPEAR OR WE CAN BRING OUR LEADERS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.

Once again, WE ARE NOT BEEN DISRESPECTFUL TO ANYONE AND IF YOUR OFFENED, WE APPLOIZE, BUT WE DO NOT APPOLIZE FOR THE TRUTH.

 LET US STAND TOGETHER TO GET OUR ANCESTERAL LANDS BACK ;OUR STATUS AS ABORIGINAL PEOPLE. We want you to see the truth and fact.

Let’s start walking in the truth. GOD REQUIRES US TO WALK IN TRUTH AND HONESTY.

We love you all and we will be praying that you will do what is right in your hearts for your children, grandchildren, and future grandchildren yet to be born.

Thank You:

Mr & Mrs Fred (Rose) Doolan

Nisga’a Lisims Government                                                              P.O. Box 231                                                                                      New Aiyansh, B.C., V0J 1A0

 RE:  Nass Valley Gateway Ltd.

Correct me if I am wrong but it doesn't matter how I view it - I see the Bay Point Project, where we had originally owned 100% of the land and minerals, as potentially giving away 75% of our mineral rights for a mere 12.5% interest of minerals in return to us the Nisga'a Nation if the property goes to production.  I do not see any safeguards for us besides attach #1  ie. It appears as if the whole contract  is an open contract  - no date to go to production before the contract expires, maximum years to bring the property to production, etc.

 I am concerned that both parties, Mineral Hill Industries LTD (50% partner in Gitxatin MHIND World Link Inc) and Gitxat'in Development Corporation (50% partner  in Gitxatin MHIND World Link Inc) are still maintaining that they own 40.5% each in Nass Valley Gateway Ltd.

 My reason for thinking this is simply that they do not own their 7,250,000 shares respectively - they are in Escrow at Pacific Corporate Trust Company awaiting the proceeds after which time the shareholders own a percentage interest in Nass Valley Gateway Ltd. 

11.1 Escrowed Securities (included)

(i) to (v)(included)

Escrowed Securities will be released from escrow in equal blocks at 6 month intervals over 36 months following the date the Issuer's (Nass Valley Gateway LTD) common shares are listed on the CNQ (stock exchange).   That is 15% of each Principal's (Mineral Hill Industries LTD and Gitxat'in Development Corporation/Laxgalts'ap Village Government/ NLG/ WSN) holdings being released in each block with an initial 10% block being released on the date the Issuer's (Nass Valley Gateway Ltd) common shares are listed on the CNQ.

Escrow Agreement Dated August 11, 2006....(included)

It seems to me that, at the end of the day,  there is the possibility that all Laxgalts'ap Village Government and the Nisga'a Business Alliance will have is whatever shares they have in their possession and what is left  of the proceeds from the sale of 7,250,000 shares and ½ of the obligations of Nass Valley Gateway Ltd. to Gitxat'in MHIND World Link Inc.

Table of issued and outstanding common shares subject to the escrow agreement....(included)

To me - it appears that in 36 months all shares will have been  released to the public unless one of the Principals tenders  a take-over bid.  Which means that all we, the Nisga'a Nation are going to have at this time is a 12.5% interest in Bay Point mineral claims through Gitxat'in MHIND World Link LTD - that is in the absence of a law suit regarding the contract obligations or by virtue of more non-Nisga'a Board of Directors in Nass Valley Gateway Ltd.   It should have been obvious to whom ever negotiated this deal that there can be problems when only 2 Nisga'as are on the Board of Directors in Nass Valley Gateway LTD as this Nass Valley Gateway LTD consists of an unlimited number of common shares - the Board of Directors make the decision on how many shares are released, to whom and when, share splits, reverse splits, etc.

And that can change as:   The term of office of the directors expires annually at the time of the Issuer's annual general meeting. The term of office of the officers expires at the discretion of the Issuer's directors.

The following raises more concerns and should have raised  questions

Notes:................(included)

It appears to me that:

Mineral Hill Industries LTD (as soon as the shares were released to the public) owned 30,000 shares - via 10,000 Special Warrants

 ALL ASSOCIATES OF MINERAL HILL INDUSTRIES LTD    (included)  

This gives Mineral Hill Industries Ltd more shares and a higher percentage than Gitxat'in Development Corporation.

 Who  illegally gave  exclusive mineral exploration  rights within "our approximately 2,200  square  kilometer Nisga'a Core Lands,"  without Nisga'a consultation or consent, to Laxgalts'ap Development Corporation and Mineral Hill Industries Ltd? The following is  from Mineral Hill Industries LTD documents filed at the stock exchange:

MINERAL HILL Industries Ltd (“MHI”) and the Nisga’a GITXAT’IN Development Corporation (“GDC”), the Company is pleased to announce that the Steering Committee between GDC and MHI has developed and refined its so called Nisga’a MHIND Coalition Matrix and Strategy (“NMC-Strategy”) to fund, develop and explore the Nisga’a Core Lands. In order to implement the NMC-Strategy, GDC andMHI have incorporated and established a Centre Corporation called GITXAT’IN MHIND World Link Inc. (“GMWL”) and entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Agreement”) with GDC on a 50%/50% basis. MHI in connection with GMWL will design and implement a five year exploration plan for the approximately 2,200 square kilometre Nisga’a Core Lands in order to enable GMWL to provide options on certain mineral properties within the Nisga’a Core Lands on an earn-out basis to venture companies interested in doing exploration work on a joint venture basis.

I think there are several options that  can be  used to take over Nisga'a mineral claims and transfer them to privately held mineral claims  - by individual Nisga'as or outsiders with the help of Nisga'a  insiders or to simply be taken over by the majority share holders and/or by our whole government, who were elected caretakers of our Nisga'a assets,  carelessly  giving  away our resources  as long as they get their pay cheque. 

It is puzzling how Mel Stevens and Dieter Peter are stating on TV news that the Nisga'a are the first natives that hold  40.5% of a publicly traded mineral exploration company when in order to  secure funds for exploration Nass Valley Gateway has to issue more  common shares which dilutes the percentage of the company shares held by shareholders (not the amount of each individual's shares unless the shareholders sell some of his/her holdings.) Which means Mel Stevens and Dieter Peter would have to keep buying most of the new shares (that are issued to secure the funds for exploration) to maintain 40.5% of Nass Valley Gateway Ltd which would make no sense going public unless the only reason was to become the owners when or if the mine is to become a reality which only the majority of common share owners decide.  In order to become a completely private company a group of shareholders can get together to pool  90% of their common shares in which instance they can force a take-over on the remaining 10% of shareholders by simply paying them the going rate of shares and possibly a premium and they now own 100% of the 75% of Nisga'a mineral rights that were optioned to the Nass Valley Gateway Ltd.  Which would leave the Nisga'a Nation with only 12.5% in the Gitxat'in MHIND World Link Inc - we would also be getting only 12.5% of the production profits - we wouldn't know it was only 12.5%.  My perception of this contract stems from the fact that  the details of the contract have been kept under wraps and we wouldn't have known about it if Sylvia Stephens, a Nisga'a living in Laxgalts'ap,  had not heard about it.

The simplest way for outsiders to get control over Nisga'a resources is through the shares because 50% -90% shareholders have control of Nass Valley Gateway  decisions and at 90% they could force a complete takeover and go private.   If that is what happened here then it is basically done because all contracts by partners within a company prior to going public do not apply as the exchange regulations apply which basically means that the more shares you hold - the bigger piece of the company  you have and can control.  Nass Valley Gateway Ltd has only common shares and consists of an unlimited number of common shares.  The Nass Valley Gateway Ltd  board of directors could keep issuing as many shares as they want and as stated earlier Mineral Hills Industries Ltd  has more board of directors and they basically have the majority vote in how many shares are issued and to whom as referenced in the following private placement notice. (included)

Our interest in the Nass Valley Gateway Ltd is diminishing already because on March 23, 2007 Nass Valley Gateway Ltd proceeded with the  non-brokered private placement  of 1,500,000 Flow Through Units at  $0.37 per unit (flow throughs carry a 100% federal and provincial  tax-deduction in Canadian mining companies and if the company is working in BC it also carries provincial tax credits as well as the federal tax credit) and 1,000,000 Non-Flow-Through Units at $0.28. attachment #2.  If completely exersized the total increase in common shares to Nass Valley Gateway Ltd is 3,750,000 from already issued  outstanding and reserved for issuance 19,398,200 resulting in a total of (19,398,200 + 3,750,000)  23,148,200 common shares.  This would result in Gitxat'in Development Corporation's 7,250,000 shares being less than the 40.5% as it would now be 31.32%.  A few more offerings and  Gitxat'in  Development Corporation is going to hold less than 10% of the  total common shares - at this  point if other holders of common shares get together - they can force a take over resulting in the Nisga'a Nation having only 12.5% interest in any development on Bay Point Project.

It is also puzzling why Dieter Peter and Mel Stevens of Nass Valley Gateway Ltd held "public  information" meetings  in Laxgalts'ap and Prince Rupert where only the elders were invited - this was after Sylvia Stephens made it public.

I can't see it any other way, unless there is a legally binding side agreement between Mineral Hill Industries Ltd and Gitxat'in Development Corporation (Nisga'a Business Alliance as per attach,)  the control of Nass Valley Gateway Ltd belongs to the majority owner(s) of the publically traded shares.  Please provide me with information so that I can properly view what is happening with our lands.

Sincerely,

Barb Zvatora

Dear Sirs:

 RE:  Nass Valley Gateway Ltd.  

Before you start waving the signatures of our RESPECTED ELDERS for "show and tell" that they basically agreed with everything because you gave them some shares - CAN YOU PLEASE ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING!!!!!  I will definitely read your Prince Rupert meeting minutes.

 At least you could have added some beads!!!!!

 Dear Madame:

RE:  Nass Valley Gateway Ltd - We had never heard of this company

 I am one of the Nisga'as that is affected by the final agreement between the Nisga'a Nation, Federal Government, and the Provincial Government, which was fundamentally based on a per capita basis.  I'm one of the 60 to 70% of Nisga'a that is living outside the Nass Valley.

 One of your departments has issued the attached Certificate of Good Standing.

 In order to issue this certificate certain documents have to be filed.

I would like to view these documents -  what procedure has to be followed in order to receive all the documents that were filed in respect of this company.

 Also, I would like all information on these other companies (ATTACH #2) as we have never heard of them before even at the May/06 Nisga'a assembly  - most importantly I would like to find out how they received the exclusive rights to explorations on our land without our Nisga'a Nation citizens permission as we had given up many rights and approximately 94% of our land in the final agreement.

 I would also like to know if all information is available for Alcan Forest Company i.e. who are the board of directors.  Alcan Forest Company was created with one company from Alaska and one from the Nisga'a  privately owned company.  To this day, we do not know whether we, the Nisga'a people, are getting any financial compensation from the company cutting our logs and how they received permission to log our lands. 

 Please do not refer me to Nisga'a Lisims Government for information as we have been in self government since 2000 and to this day - no audited financial statement has been presented to our Nisga'a Nation.  We have been told that millions of dollars of our money is invested in the stock market (this is the story and we have no official record of it)  and we have not had a single shareholders meeting or financial reports.  We heard that the reason the new NLG inhouse lawyer quit after 3 months was because she was not given time to address the decisions/actions that did not follow procedures as set out in the Nisga'a Constitution and Final Agreement.

 How do I find out all the companies  that have registered to operate within Nisga'a Lands.

Thank you,

Dear Sirs/Madam:

This letter will serve as a request for information to ask why you, the Governing body of our Nisga’a Nation do not deal with theft cases.  Facts are true and sources of information that back up my allegations are spelled out in the 49-page documents that were distributed amongst Nisga’a members.  We have the right to seek answers from you and if you continue to refuse any type of action, we will start a petition to have you all removed, as you are not doing a good job.  Records strengthen my strong statement and I want to know how we stand financially as a Nation and how broke are we?  Why don’t you have the decency to spell it out on one of your monthly newsletters?  We don’t want to see unimportant news and whom are you trying to impress anyway?

If I want to know more about the Youth Council, I can approach them and how much time and money are you continually wasting printing off these articles?  As a Nisga’a member, I have a keen interest in our financial status and ever since the Treaty was passed in 2000, we have not seen one financial statement on how we stand as a Nation.  The continuous crooks who are supposed to be looking after our affairs are bragging that they will not be dealt with but, we are persistent in our quest for accountability and transparency. 

Why don’t you as traveling Executive inform the Nisga’a why you travel so much and what do you come back home with?  What did you learn and what is the intention of your trips and do you justify your time away from your high-paying jobs?  I can see you all traveling at least half of the month at a time and what reports can you give to us?  You are spending our monies and we need to see those reports and itineraries.  It seems that you cannot stand to stay home as we all know what is going on and I always say that you can run but you cannot hide from the truth.

I discussed with Lilly Jorgensen about the update and she told me that they are going to form a committee (tribunal) and they are not just sitting back.  They are going to come up with something.  Give me a break!  We will not give up to see charges being laid to the thief who probably stole from Day 1.  Forensic audits should be performed on the entire Nisga’a Nation dollars.  I will forward this letter also to the Auditor General. 

I had written a letter to seek the services of the Vancouver RCMP and I enclosed the 49 page documents but in response, they told me that the Board has to lay charges.  An elder from the Vancouver local membership will seek to draft a Resolution to that effect and if the persons in charge at the present don’t have the guts to do that, we have to assume that they are involved in this activity.  This is an issue that has been overlooked for too long and action needs to be taken as soon as possible. 

Mr. Leeson was approached by telephone by a lady from Gitwinksihlkw about a month ago and he told her that NLG won’t lay charges and it was up to the Board.  Of course, he does not want to go that route, as he is the brother-in-law.    To make matters worse, Lily told me that Ben Stewart is still getting his monthly per diem in the amount of thousands of dollars.  For what?  It must be nice to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars and still get income from the source.  This is a mafia type of government where we are being stripped of our rights to seek legal action.  Remember, the next court case will happen in Vancouver on June 13th and Matriarch Mercy Thomas has discussed with me her statement that she will present to the 3 Supreme Court judges and if she does not succeed, she will run for the President of the Nisga’a Nation.  That is music to my ears as she is more intelligent than the entire bunch of you who think that you are on the Executive level. 

I will quote to you what was written in the Hak’ak’a’a October 1, 2001 and documented by the former CEO, Edward Allen.  “Your Nisga’a Government here to serve you!  When we say Nisga’a government belongs to Nisga’a Nation, we are saying many things, including that Nisga’a citizens have the right to know what their government is doing on their behalf, and to answer to their questions when they ask them.  This right is reflected in our Nisga’a Constitution, which provides that the Nisga’a nation expects the public service of the Nisga’a Nation and each Nisga’a village to be administered in accordance with certain values and principles, including responsiveness to public needs and provisions of timely, accessible and accurate information.  This means that we at Nisga’a Lisims Government must respond to your needs and provide you with a response to your request for accurate information.  This is your right as a Nisga’a citizen, protected by our own Nisga’a Constitution.” 

What happened to those empty words, did you trash the Constitution?  You were being blindfolded by the white man’s set of laws and you try to instill those laws to me, no thank you.  I live to the highest standard and will not tolerate anymore your lies and more lies and deceit.   I finally got an Aboriginal lawyer from Alberta and she is willing to take on some of the outstanding cases that I have against you.

Feel free to respond to my letter with an open mind and that as a government institution, you cannot continue to disregard our concerns as the past is the past and the future is what I am concerned with and how will we ever survive as a Nation with the rate that you are going?  What will be there for the generations yet to come?  I look forward to a response from each one of you and now you can justify for your high pay and six figure incomes.  Have a nice day!

Sincerely

Sylvia Stephens

Dear Sirs:

 RE:  Nass Valley Gateway Ltd. Listing Statement March 6, 2007

 Mr. Blonde reported to the May 2006 Nisga'a assembly that there was going to be a Nisga'a Commercial Group board established to over see the Nisga'a Corporations and other opportunities - the board of which you are members.

 Mr. Blonde's report also included  the forming of the Board of Directors for the corporations - he stated "in the past, most board members were employees of Nisga'a Lisims Government.  The new board will have no Nisga'a Lisims Government employees and will come from the business community with a mixture of skills, education, and backgrounds."   He also reported that the Chief Operating Officers had been set up for each of the organizations - Fishery, Forestry, and Communications - NO MENTION OF MINERAL EXPLORATIONS.  From what I could gather the Nisga'a Corporations included:  Nisga'a Fisheries Ltd., Lisims Forest Resources L.P., EnTel Communications Inc. Wilp Sy'oon Wilderness Lodge Ltd.(although Wilp Sy'oon Wilderness Lodge Ltd had already been dismantled and some assets sold or given away),  Nisga'a West Coast Stevedoring (1999) Ltd., Lisims Backcountry Ltd. 

 Was mineral explorations not included because Nass Valley Gateway Ltd was a private company operating on our lands as this is the list of dates and their activities:

 - Nass Valley Gateway Ltd was incorporated October 25, 2005.  Without consulting the Nisga'a Nation whether we approved or not - permission was given to them for exploration and ownership to Bay Point - there was no nisga'a nation approval on this.  Who authorized it and why were there not in depth discussions about it at the May 2006  assembly as it appears all these companies were already registered - some were registered in 2005 and 2006 - and many had not heard of them.  Our core lands does not belong to a certain village or a certain person it belongs to all the Nisga'a citizens. 

 - Option agreement dated March 10, 2006 between Nass Valley Gateway Ltd and Gitxat'in MHIND World Link Inc.  Gitxat'in MHIND World Link Inc (non reporting) ownership is as follows:  Gitxat'in Development Corporation (owned by Greenville/Gitxat'in Village Government who own all the shares of Gitxat'in Development Corporation) owns 50% common shares and Mineral Hill Industries Ltd owns 50% common shares which without any approval from the Nisga'a nation claims they own Bay Point situated by Gingolx.

Why is there only one Nisga'a on the board of directors for Nass Valley Gateway Ltd? BOD: Dieter Peter, Chief Executive Officer. Chairman and Director; Melvin Stevens, President and Director; Patrick Stewart, Director; Hugh Maddin, Director; and Edward Skoda, Director.   If there are some issues with this company that the Nisga'as do not agree with - we are going to be basically out voted even though we are dealing with our lands and we have only one board of director.  It's our land and resources that were brought to that company - what did the other company contribute besides hired experts that have to be paid through sale of shares? 

 Nass Valley Gateway Ltd. Issued in 2006 300,000 common shares to companies (Gitxat'in MHIND World Link Inc - GMWL) with common directors for cash proceeds of $90,000.

 The holders of the Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at all meetings of the shareholders of the Issuer and each Common Share shall confer the right to one vote in person or by proxy at all meetings of the shareholders of the Issuer.  Who voted on all the decisions that were made to this date?

 Nass Valley Gateway Ltd lists Dieter Peter and Melvin Stevens (only Nisga'a) as the Named Executive Officer Directors, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Maddin, and Edward Skoda as the directors who are not also Named Executive Officers.  Who are all the board of directors of  Gitxat'in Development Corporation and Gitxat'in MHIND World Link Inc who may be part of those referenced in the Compensation of Directors as on January 31, 2007, the Issuer (Nass Valley Gateway Ltd) issued a total of 410,000 incentive options to its directors who are not also Named Executive Officers and a total of 230,000 incentive options to its directors who are Named Executive Officers.

 It appears that not too many people were fully informed about these companies in Greenville or the general Nisga'a population.

 We have asked before and we are asking again - were moneys that were designated for other services used for seed money to start this company?  The reason I am asking this is because Laxgaltsap/Greenville  Village  Government had no problems transferring core program monies into Laxgaltsap Forestry which is against the Fiscal Financial Agreement and our show and tell laws.

  Who purchased the shares that are being released for trading at almost triple the value they were purchased as warrants.    Who were the investors that purchased these warrants?  Who is benefiting now? Who are the following 297 holders.

Can you please contact Haywood Securities Inc. (the exclusive agent for the purpose of offering of the common shares on the exercise of the special warrants - seed money for company) to find out who were the initial investors.

 Was there any moneys paid to Nisga'a Lisims Government for the permit/license to go ahead and make the claim?

 Note that Greenville/Laxgaltzap Village Government (who own Gitxat'in Development Corporation) are members of the Nisga'a Lisims Government and members of the Wilp Si'ayuukhl Nisga'a - there is obviously a conflict of interest where they make decisions on behalf of our whole nation and they have a direct interest in these companies. 

 Can I please get the minutes where the decision was made regarding this corporation and how the members voted on it.   How long will it take before the directions of our constitution and final agreement are followed?

 Thanks

Dear Sirs:

RE:   Nass Valley Gateway Ltd - Private or Public?

Nass Valley Gateway Directors issued 1,200,000 special warrants at $.45 which would have amounted to $540,000.  They claim that they had 297 private investors and used Nisga'a moneys to put in Nass Valley Gateway Ltd -  $540,000 (possibly the whole amount) as in the past the Laxgalt'sap Village government had no problem transferring moneys from other "Core Program Funding" accounts to their forestry company. The special warrants were split 1 special warrant for 3 common shares and put 3,600,000 common shares for public offering.

If common shares are sold for $.45 they would now have for their transfer of $540,000 of our Nisga'a moneys received $1,620,000 and I am assuming (but has never happened before) they would put $540,000 Nisga'a moneys back leaving them with a nice profit of $1,080,000; however, in order to maintain the 40% interest - approximately $341,200 would have to be used to purchase 40% of the March 23/07 new offering of "Non-Brokered Private Placement."  They would still have  $738,800 and I am assuming if the minerals are in enough quantities to go to production then they would go private and if not they would start selling off 7,250,000 old shares and 1,000,000 of new shares. Even if the  8,250,000 shares sell at only $.10  it would amount to another $850,000 and if the shares sell higher then more profit for them - that is in addition to what they already made from before.  These scenarious are the reason why this was all done in secrecy just like all other contracts on Nisga'a lands are done.  It would appear that our NLG executives and chosen employees had moved on from stealing Nisga'a moneys to stealing our lands and resources to benefit themselves and a select few.

What are the Nisga'a receiving from this venture besides the elders, including the deceased, being given 1,500 shares?

Sincerely,

Barb Zvatora

It is obvious that my request is ignored and I'm being restricted to only names of shareholders 14 days prior to them receiving my request with payment.

I would appreciate if  you can, in any way, assist me to receive the names of those 297 purchasers of 1,200,000 special warrants which, prior to going public, were split 1 warrant for 3 shares. 

Also could you please let know what rules apply to none reporting companies that were set up with public moneys and are based on Nisga'a lands.  Does any agency have jurisdiction?

Thanks,
