LNIB LAWS
TRESPASS LAWMORE INFORMATION
Lower Nicola Indian Band Legal Authority
Affirmed by B.C. Provincial Court in Trespass Prosecutions
A series of recent court cases has
highlighted how the Lower Nicola Indian Band (LNIB) is enforcing its land laws
and protecting its community. These cases involve several non-members who lived
on reserve land (LNIB land) without proper permission and were later prosecuted
under the Lower Nicola Indian Band Land Code (Land Code) and Lower
Nicola Indian Band Trespass Law (Trespass Law). Together, the decisions
show how the LNIB responded, how the courts viewed the situation, and how
community leaders, especially Lands Director Stephen Jimmie, played a key role
in upholding local laws.



The LNIB governs its reserve lands under
its Land Code, which acts as its own set of laws about land use. Under these
rules, only Band members or people with proper authorization can live on the
land. Anyone who stays without permission may be committing an offence and can
be ordered to leave. 



The situation began in 2023 when Barb
Caldwell and Mike Pockrant moved onto reserve land and lived in a RV trailer.
Although they had been invited by a Band member, they did not receive official
approval. This approval is required under the Land Code, and there was also a RV
Prohibition in place that prohibited living in RVs without written
authorization. 



In November 2023, the Chief and Council
(Council) formally removed any right the two individuals might have had to stay
on the land and issued written notices telling them to leave. They were given
the chance to appeal. Stephen Jimmie, the Lands Director, handled much of this
process. He ensured notices were delivered, explained the rules, and managed
communication between the individuals and the Council. 



Caldwell and Pockrant later asked for more
time, explaining that they were struggling financially and needed a place to
stay through the winter. Despite this request, the Council decided to move
forward with enforcement. In December 2023, the Council confirmed that the
individuals were in violation of the Land Code and chose to proceed with legal
action. 



Stephen Jimmie then took on a larger role
in the legal process. Acting for the LNIB, he filed a private prosecution and
provided a sworn affidavit that carefully outlined the facts and timeline. His
work ensured that the case was built on clear evidence and followed proper
legal procedures. 



When the matter went to court in June 2025,
Caldwell and Pockrant admitted they had broken the rules. The judge accepted
that they had lived on the land without authorization and ordered them to pay a
small fine, remove their property, stay off the reserve after a set date, and
placed both on three years of probation. 



A second case involved James Purdie, who
was also found living on LNIB land without proper permission. Like the earlier
case, he had relied on an invitation from a Band member rather than receiving
official approval. The court found that he remained on the land even after
being warned several times that he did not have the right to be there.



During Mr. Purdie’s sentencing in August
2025, Stephen Jimmie again played an important role. He presented a Community
Impact Statement that described how this situation affected LNIB. He explained
that these kinds of cases create “distress” in the community and disrupt
safety. He also told the court that the Band had spent a substantial amount of
money on legal costs, which meant fewer resources were available for housing,
education, and health services.



The judge treated these impacts as serious.
In strong terms, the court emphasized that ignoring the LNIB authority harms
the community and cannot be accepted. The Honourable Judge M. Stanford stated,
“Mr. Purdie is one of many non-Band members who take advantage of the LNIB by
moving onto the land and remaining there without authority. Accordingly, the
sentence I impose must send a message not only to Mr. Purdie, but to the public
as well, that this conduct will no longer be tolerated, and will also be
prosecuted.”



The judge also noted that repeatedly
ignoring the LNIB’s rules showed disrespect not only for its leadership, but
for the community as a whole. Deterrence was a key goal, meaning the sentence
needed to send a clear warning to others.



In the end, Mr. Purdie was fined a total of
$3,500 and placed on three years of probation. He was also ordered not to
return to LNIB lands and to remove any personal belongings.



Across all of these cases, the courts
confirmed that the LNIB has the legal authority to manage its own lands and
enforce its laws. The judges recognized that maintaining order on reserve lands
is important for the safety and well-being of the community.



Stephen Jimmie’s role stands out throughout
these events. As Lands Director, he was responsible for enforcing the Land
Code, issuing notices, documenting the situation, initiating legal action, and
submitted evidence in front of a judge at trial. He also spoke directly to the
court about the impact these cases had on the community. His leadership helped
ensure that the Band’s laws were not only followed but also clearly defended in
court.



Taken together, these cases show both the
challenges and responsibilities involved in governing First Nations land. While
they reflect real hardships faced by individuals seeking housing, they also
reinforce the importance of respecting the rules that protect the community. As LNIB legal counsel noted,
 “These
rulings show that this path of self-governance is not only effective, but
legally recognized and enforceable within Canada’s justice system. The Court’s
decisions in Pockrant and Caldwell and Purdie strengthen the growing body of
case law confirming that First Nation governments have the authority to
prosecute offences under their own land laws. The Purdie decision is historic, the
first successful private prosecution of a Land Code offence at trial, with the
highest cumulative fine imposed to date. More than a legal victory, it affirms
the legitimacy and enforceability of First Nation legal orders and makes clear
that Land Code laws carry real force in provincial courts.”

&#60;img width="1000" height="605" width_o="1000" height_o="605" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/2812807709aa1970a8f0e7c7ff6e77f0635fd30818dfcdce5ecec888c8ad5580/6.jpg" data-mid="1360479" border="0" /&#62;
Background
and Goals:
 
Indigenous
communities are reasserting their inherent right to govern their lands and
resources under the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management. As
communities strive for effective land management, they often seek to enhance
their knowledge and skills in various land management activities. A robust land
survey system is crucial for this purpose, prompting communities to deepen
their understanding of survey-related tools, records, and activities as they
implement their land governance systems.



In
alignment with the Surveyor General Branch's commitment to reconciliation, the
Survey Capacity Development Program has been established with three primary
goals:

1. Foster Collaboration and Relationship Building:


 
  Facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions, including discussions on
 traditional land use and occupation, and the potential impacts of surveys
 on these practices.
  Raise awareness of the role of Canada Lands Surveyors, educational
 requirements, and career opportunities.
  Explore land surveying fundamentals, techniques, and
 methodologies, emphasizing health and safety considerations.
  Identify collaborative opportunities within community departments
 impacted by land survey activities.
  Examine the survey process, roles, responsibilities, and involved
 parties
2. Provide Tailored Training Opportunities:


 
  Offer flexibility to communities in selecting training topics from
 a catalogue of courses.
  Provide in-community training options with customizable timelines.
  Allow communities to select program participants based on their
 specific needs.
 


























3. Increase Understanding of the Canada Lands Surveys System:


 
  Enhance skills in researching and interpreting land records and
 survey plans.
  Explore the interrelation between the survey system and registry
 systems.
  Identify survey plans and land descriptions suitable for
 registration in the land registry to support transactions.

these goals, the Survey Capacity Development Program aims to support the Lower
Nicola Indian Band in its journey towards effective land management, while
fostering collaboration, enhancing skills, and increasing knowledge of
survey-related processes and systems.
