Pinecone Burke Provincial Park has part of its boundary on Katzie First Nation, Kwikwetlem First Nation, and Stó:lō First Nations territory. These First Nation boundaries have existed for many years prior to the newer boundaries established in 1995. The Katzie First Nation is working to ensure that this area within the provincial park stays protected according to traditional Katzie principles. The Katzie First Nation formerly utilized this area heavily for hunting and gathering. BC Parks and the Katzie First Nation have agreed on a memorandum of understanding together. This memorandum of understanding was established to have the Katzie First Nation’s practices recognized by potential third-parties contributing further to the growth of various parks around BC.
