And if the tribes want your home, they'll boot you out (despite saying they would honor private property rights before):

People living in a trailer park in the Comox Valley say they’re being evicted unfairly by the K’omoks First Nation.

The First Nation has given notice that residents at the Queneesh Mobile Home park have less than two years to move off the property.

Many considered them their forever homes.

With the high cost of moving a trailer and extremely limited places to legally move them, the residents say they deserve better.

“There’s no place to move our trailers to on the Island. We are stuck. We have put our life savings into this trailer, and now we have to leave with nothing. That is ludicrous,” said Kathy Jenkins, a park resident of 34 years.

And nobody told them the tribes owned the land:
Some still hold mortgages, one woman still owes $80,000 on hers, and at least one trailer was listed for sale before the nation warned in October 2025 that the park’s initial 50-year lease might not be renewed.

“When I took possession of my property, I was not made aware of any kind of lease or anything like that,” said Cropley. When he asked the group of neighbours around him, they agreed they too were in the dark about a lease.

“We came here for our forever home, and I’m sad,” said Valerie Bell, who said her 87-year-old husband now has to dismantle the reinforced metal roof he built on their home.

The K’omoks First Nation declined an on-camera interview, but in a press release said it’s willing to waive pad rentals until the eviction. The Nation says it needs the land back to advance urgent and long-term housing priorities for its members as there is a growing housing demand, including some who are experiencing housing insecurity.
