I saw this news while I was hate-browsing /r/canada and thought I should share it here! I edited the headline somewhat.

If you would like to talk about this news in-person, the April 2022 Guide to Indigenous Organization and Services, which was made in collaboration with Indigenous representatives, lists the approximate pronunciation of the nation as "quick-wa-sut-uh-nook / ha-kwuh-meesh". Folks, this nonstandard notation pains me to write. However, I couldn't find an IPA transcription. In the meantime, I've sent them an email suggesting they add IPA.

IPCAs are supported by the provincial government of B.C. and do not need to be approved by it. They are unilateral declarations by First Nations over their own territory. You can read more about them here: https://conservation-reconciliation.ca/about-ipcas as well as here https://conservation-reconciliation.ca/ipca-faqs
