Mtis Association vice president Sidney Peltier, former Carrier Cheslatta Nation Chief Corinna Leween and Gwaii Wood Products chief executive officer Arnold Bellis
The council, which held its first meeting this week, has been established to encourage economic development in aboriginal communities across the province and help investors partner with B.C. First Nations.
