Overview

Seabird Island Band is a First Nations government in British Columbia's Fraser Valley that supports community health, education and self-determination. Governed by an elected Chief and Council, it runs culturally grounded schooling, health clinics and family services, alongside housing and public works. Some services extend to other First Nations through agreements, while its employment programs draw on federal and regional training funding. Its schools and college combine academic and vocational learning with Indigenous language and culture. The reserve community dates to 1879; it became an independent Band in 1959 and is headquartered in Agassiz, British Columbia.
