Description:
The Upper Fraser region is 80,000 km2, about one-third of the entire Fraser Basin. As of 2006, the human population was 108 255, of which 14,310 (13%) identified as Aboriginal - an increase of almost 36% in 10 years. First Nations communities are reflected on this map by Indian Reserve location. It is important to note that reserves were established during European colonial settlement and do not reflect the pre-contact settlement patterns, use and management of traditional territories, or title and rights of First Nations in BC, which are being defined through treaties and the courts. In addition, many First Nations people live off reserve. This map highlights sustainability initiatives in the region and is part of a larger publication.
