"The NBBC is focused on helping to address a range of ‘big picture’ aboriginal initiatives and concerns that cannot be effectively dealt with at the community or Tribal Council levels. These include, for example, taxation, ocean ranching, Golden Mussel aquaculture, a natural resource focused Working Skills Institute, and the establishment of a National Aboriginal Literacy Foundation. The basic NBBC operational principle is that progress is made through mutually beneficial partnerships. The NBBC does not ‘own’ these initiatives, but wants to play a strategic role in helping to make them real."

"Established in 1931 the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia (NBBC) is recognized as Canada’s oldest active Native organization, and a senior BC fishing organization. The NBBC was formed by a group of coastal villages solely for the betterment of Native people.

Over the years, the Brotherhood has been a very powerful voice on fisheries issues, and on many other concerns affecting the well being of BC’s native coastal communities. As the organization grew so did its achievements. These included, for example, a better education system, the right to vote for Native people, improved medical care, better jobs and better living conditions at the canneries."
