Timeline
In 1988, Wilson helped found the BC First Nations Congress, whose aim was to help coordinate land claims negotiations and settlements, and was elected its chairman. In 1990, the organization changed its name to the First Nations Summit and met with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to discuss land claims issues. In 1992, Wilson, Mulroney and BC Premier Mike Harcourt signed an agreement that created the BC Treaty Commission.
In March of 1983, Wilson, and other Indigenous leaders, met with Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau to successfully negotiate and draft the first and only amendment to Canada’s new Constitution in 1982. This amendment is Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. Section 35 enshrined Indigenous title to traditional lands and treaty rights and established equality of Indigenous women. During these negotiations, on Canadian national television, Wilson famously informed Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau that Wilson's two daughters hoped to become lawyers and then Prime Minister.
Wilson studied at the University of Victoria where he was awarded his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1970. He then studied at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Law where he received his law degree in 1973. In his year of admissions at UBC, he received the second highest Law School Admission Test score in British Columbia. He was the second Indigenous person to graduate from UBC’s law school. Wilson’s first cousin, Alfred Scow, was the first Indigenous person to graduate from UBC’s law school in 1961. Scow also went on to become the first Indigenous lawyer in British Columbia and the first Indigenous judge appointed to the BC Provincial Court where he presided from 1971 to 1992. Scow also won numerous awards, including the UBC Great Trekker Award, a UBC Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree, the Order of BC, and the Order of Canada.
Wilson served as director of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs from 1970 to 1973. In his third year of law school, Wilson was the director of Aboriginal title and land claims for the BC Association of Non-Status Indians. This organization was later renamed the United Native Nation where Wilson presided as founding president from 1976-1981. From 1982-83, Wilson was the vice-president of the Native Council of Canada, known now as the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, and was its spokesmen at the 1983 First Ministers Conference.
