First Nation Concerned About Mining Boom
Posted by Tad McIlwraith on May 29th, 2007 filed in Mining
Chief John French of Takla/Tsay Keh Nay (northern BC interior) expresses concern over the impact of mining on First Nations communities. In his article, French acknowledges the poor history of industrial relations between natives and non-natives; he evokes the history of Samuel Black, Williston Reservoir, and the Kemess mine near Thutade Lake as examples.
French’s article comes on the heels of recent mining announcements and pronouncements about boom times in resource rich British Columbia.
