	abstract = {<p>The Wet\&rsquo;suwet\&rsquo;en are currently struggling to affirm their Aboriginal and territorial rights through the British Columbia treaty process. While this process continues, resource extraction activities remove large volumes of culturally important resources. At present, very few areas of the their territory have not been impacted by logging or mining development. Understandably, the Wet\&rsquo;suwet\&rsquo;en feel a sense of urgency regarding the conservation and protection of their natural and cultural resources. This paper examines how the Wet\&rsquo;suwet\&rsquo;en adapted the existing archaeological process within the resource management industry to better reflect their vision and cultural values. The creation of non-legislated policy and protocol agreements with various industry and government entities, combined with the Wet\&rsquo;suwet\&rsquo;en Territorial Stewardship Plan (WTSP), has allowed this First Nation to centrally position themselves in the archaeological process, which did not adequately address their needs. The primary result has been greater Wet\&rsquo;suwet\&rsquo;en involvement in decisions made regarding the management of their cultural resources.</p>},
