The offices of the Xaxli'p band government are located at Fountain, about 10 miles up the Fraser Canyon from the town of Lillooet.
The parties signed a framework agreement (stage 3 of the six-stage process) in November 1997.
They focused on internal research, including substantial work on a traditional use study and an ecosystem-based plan for their territory.

[4] Xaxl'ip Chief Thomas Adolph signed the Declaration of the Lillooet Tribe[5] and travelled to Ottawa to express grievances over land rights as a member of the 1916 delegation of the newly formed Indian Rights Association.
