不列颠哥伦比亚省总理大卫·埃比(David Eby)说,他的政府将质疑华盛顿州Colville保留地的联邦部落提出的诉讼,他们声称他们被不公平地排除在与加拿大原住民的协商之外。 British Columbia's Premier David Eby said his government will contest a lawsuit filed by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington State, who claim they are being unfairly excluded from consultations with First Nations in Canada. Colville部落认为,他们是Sinixt人的一部分,应当作为加拿大土著人民对待。 The Colville Tribes argue they are part of the Sinixt people and should be treated as Aboriginal people of Canada. 代表加拿大Sinixt的Syilx Okanagan部落支持该省优先与加拿大原住民协商的做法,并质疑Colville部落声称是Sinixt后继群体的说法。 The Syilx Okanagan Nation, representing Sinixt in Canada, supports the province's approach of prioritizing consultations with Canadian First Nations and disputes the Colville Tribes' claim to be the Sinixt successor group.
