What we do
At any given time, WNNB staff is researching, reviewing, and providing advice on files surrounding legislative and policy issues, land and resource usage, fisheries, forestry, and environmental assessments. The work we do is dedicated to ensuring that Wolastoqey Aboriginal and Treaty Rights are respected and all Wolastoqey communities are advocated for and supported.

Crown Lands
The Wolastoqiyik have occupied the lands and waters of what is now known as New Brunswick since time immemorial. Over the past centuries, these resources have been increasingly appropriated by third parties, drastically impacting the ability for Wolastoqey Communities to exercise their protected Aboriginal and Treaty rights.
