We strive to be a strong and healthy community. Ts’uubaa-asatx is working on being a self-determining, innovative, progressive, and prosperous nation. We are a distinct tribe (with roots to the Ditidaht group of tribes) who continue to govern in a harmonious and balanced way. We aim to be inclusive of all our members and wish to govern ourselves with honor and respect for our culture and the environment, for future generations.


Today, Ts’uubaa-asatx has approximately 30 people residing on its reserve and many more wanting to come back home. Although small in
population, Ts’uubaa-asatx is mighty on goals. This strategic plan sees us being responsive to the community’s voices that were shared during our economic development and strategic planning processes. We desire a strong and healthy community, connected to our lands and culture. We strive to build capacity for effective economic growth, planning for the now, and well into the future.

 

Currently, Ts’uubaa-asatx grapples with a variety of challenges including impacts of climate change, implications of colonization which significantly impacted our culture, and an ever-changing world. Fortunately, we continue to be resilient and persistent in reclaiming our traditions and emphasizing cultural revitalization.


Ts’uubaa-asatx is engaged in a variety of initiatives that are increasing the size and strength of the Nation. Membership is growing and the Nation is providing economic and housing opportunities to ensure members can live and thrive within the community. The Nation is also actively involved in negotiations with both Provincial and Federal governments to reclaim our land, which in turn creates a wide array of opportunities. The future is bright for Ts’uubaa-asatx, and this strategic plan paired with strong leadership and community
support will assist Ts’uubaa-asatx in becoming prosperous for generations to come.
