Summary
A fake letter falsely claiming the Squamish Nation is evicting residents from Britannia Beach has sparked panic and outrage. Signed with the Nation’s letterhead and chairperson’s name, the bogus document demands vacating within six months — a claim the chairperson, Sxwíxwtn Wilson Williams, has emphatically denied, calling it “100% false” and “reprehensible.” The letter, which surfaced after recent court rulings affirming Indigenous title in B.C., is seen by the Nation as a deliberate tactic to sow division and distrust. While politicians debate prioritizing private property rights, First Nations leaders stress that court rulings didn’t erase private ownership. The Squamish Nation urges anyone receiving similar letters to report them immediately to prevent further confusion and community harm.
