About Saul Brown

Saul ‘Hazil’hba Brown: ‘Hazil’hba is a student of Heiltsuk Gvi’ilas and governance. As a food sovereigntist, he sees the intrinsic value and necessity of giving effect to Heiltsuk laws out on the water and land. Having worked with elders on the Marine Governance file with the intent of breathing life into Heiltsuk ancestral law in the contemporary, the resurgence of Heiltsuk legal traditions is major facet of his journey. He currently works for the Heiltsuk Nation as their Haíɫcístut negotiator.

Indigenous marine response centre breathing life into reconciliation

The Haíłzaqv (Heiltsuk) are marine people. Our oral history confirms our existence in our territory since time immemorial. Archaeological evidence corroborates that my people have continuously lived in relationship to our lands and waters for at least 14,000 years, over 700 generations.
