The Tsawwassen Treaty is known historically as the first treaty negotiated under the British Columbia Treaty Commission Process. It is the culmination of decades of work and is lauded as a way forward in First  Nation/Canadian relations. When looking for an appropriate way of housing this irreplaceable document the job was given to Spirit Works. It was agreed that a bentwood box would be the best choice. As a matter of tradition we would keep our most precious possessions in these. Furthermore the Cedar acts as a repellent for pests that might consider paper to be a delicacy, which is why chests are commonly lined with Cedar. We further added protective glass so the document could be placed on display.
