DESCRIPTION:Webinar - Exploring the various alternatives that can be and 
 are utilized by First Nation governments within BC.\n\nAdditions to rese
 rves is a process used by the Canadian government, to formally add land 
 to various First Nations across Canada. Unbelievably the Indian Act is s
 ilent on this issue, and as such another mechanism was needed and this l
 ed to the creation of the Additions to Reserve Policy in 1972. The polic
 y has been updated three times since then; 1991, 2001, and 2016. The cha
 nges and updates were required given the various challenges identified w
 ith the process and wording in the policy. Today the policy is located i
 n Chapter 10 of the Lands Management Manual, a manual created by the Can
 adian government to help administer First Nation land\n\n---------------
