Gwelx Ye’enst Advisory Group Inc. is a 100% Gitxsan-owned advisory firm dedicated to advancing Indigenous law, governance, and economic self-determination. Rooted in gwelx ye’enst – the Gitxsan law of leaving behind a healthy House family and territory for the next generation – our work strengthens Indigenous families, communities, and nations through research, policy, education, and practical action.
We specialize in:
- Land-based governance plans for Gitxsan House families, including territory mapping, oral histories, ayookw (laws), daxgyet (authorities), and succession planning.
- Education and curriculum development on Gitxsan law, the Supreme Court of Canada’s Delgamuukw-Gisday’way decision, and Indigenous legal orders more broadly. We design and deliver workshops, courses, and community-based learning programs that build knowledge and capacity across generations.
- Policy development and program design guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls’ Calls for Justice, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
- Climate risk and ESG reporting to support corporate and government decision-making with Indigenous-informed approaches to sustainability, land stewardship, and accountability.
- Partnerships with technology providers and suppliers to create innovative tools that advance Indigenous procurement, data sovereignty, and long-term economic independence.
Our team combines Indigenous knowledge, legal expertise, and cutting-edge partnerships to deliver transparent, ethical, and results-driven solutions. Every project is guided by the Gitxsan legal responsibility to ensure healthy families, territories, and governance systems for generations to come.
