Another First Nation Expresses Concern Over Natural Resource Development

Ft. St. James, B.C. – Protesters have removed their blockade of HIghway 27 through Ft. St. James as they have a meeting set today to talk with Minister of Jobs Innovation and Tourism , Pat Bell as well as transportation officials. The protesters are members of the Nak’azdli band. They want to express their concerns with resource extraction and road safety in their traditional territory.
Now the Tl’azt’en Nation is expressing concern about mineral exploration which is taking place in its territory. The First Nation says it is putting investors of Stratton Resources on notice.
Stratton is conducting exploration work on the MAC molybdenum-copper property approximately 80 km northwest of Fort Saint James, land the Tl’azt’en claim as Aboriginal title lands.
The Tl’azt’en say the former company working in the area signed a deal with one family and pledged to negotiate an exploration agreement with the nation. But the First Nation says Stratton has put that on hold for the last seven months. Chief Ralph Pierre says the Tl’azt’en are encouraging the company to begin negotiations immediately.

what a bunch of crap, the easiest way to enjoy the benefits of resource extraction is to get off your ass and go get a job there. Stop asking for handouts, and quit riding on your ancestors coat tails excuse, always want something for nothing, and then do nothing with what you got. They act like if Europeans never came here that they’d still be running around in buckskins living some different existence from the rest of the planet, they saved them from the Spaniards or whomever else would of came here and they might of genocided you for christ sake. Thats just the way the world worked back then, ask the Scots
hey stupid(twospeed) were not asking for money from you honkies all we wanted is for the safety of this highway through our rez be addressed by your bullshit government, A 11 yr old boy lost his life just before christmas from one of you pieces of shit driving way too fast threw OUR land because that highway was never gazetted so it still belongs to us, so get your fu–en story straight before you open your big mouth, and for your info everyone at that information gateway has really good jobs i wouldnt doubt way better than yours, now this race shit has gone too far throughout our community for this when it was about the safety of the community, we will see how you feel when one on us smelly,welfare bum, savage, grubby, chugs, dont know how to work indians come to your community a run the f–k over one of your lil bastard kids and laugh about, the only difference is that the indian will probably get charged by your useless rcmp.
As the price of solar and wind technology continues to drop to more affordable levels, and as energy-efficient buildings become more popular, “green” industries will grow even more rapidly in the future hence more get a degree from High Speed Universities for your
Spoken like a true Indian. Lol.
^ I have to agree, but remember only “white” people or “honkies” as trueindianfromnakazdli puts it can be racists to others. Not the other way around that’s called something different and I still don’t have a clue what it is.
Funny how the natives are complaining about racist comments when they’re the ones writting everywhere about how stupid us “white pieces of shit” are and that all we are are redneck honkies… Yet you claim to “all be human, we’re more mature than you white pieces of shit and see everyone in the same colour” You really think so hey? THINK BEFORE YOU POST!
