TemEEwuh na Ta hheeymOt (Land Code) 
Information website

We said YES!

Empowering Our Community Together

Lytton First Nation took the first step away from the Indian Act on February 1st, 2023. This monumental step not only represents a triumph for our community but also prelude of a new era of self governance and empowerment. With the TemEEwuh na Ta hheeymOt (land code) in place, our nation gains the authority to make decisions regarding land and resource management, paving the way for economic development, environmental stewardship, and sustainable growth!

What is the
Lytton First Nation
Land Code?

The Lytton First Nation (LFN) Land Code, if passed, will become the main land law of LFN and will replace the current land management provisions of the Indian Act by returning control over our reserve lands to our community.

​The land code provides increased protection for reserve land and resources.
