 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,
