The Tahltan Central Government said it has informed Doubleview Gold Corp that the land it's operating in is sacred as its ancestors were born and are buried in the area.
An Indigenous First Nation in northwest B.C. is demanding that a Vancouver-based mining company stop operating on its territory.
The Tahltan Central Government said it has informed Doubleview Gold Corp. that the land that it’s operating in is sacred as its ancestors were born and are buried in the area, which is located northwest of Telegraph Creek.
“We’ve basically just been disrespected (and) continually ignored,” said Cody Norman Day, Tahltan Central Government’s president.
“The activities year after year have continued despite a consistent message from us, all levels of our government, and our elders, that it’s not acceptable.
“We’re going to really start digging our heels in now and put a stop to it.”
The Tahltan Nation said it has repeatedly tried to express its concerns to the company but has not had meaningful discussions.
Global News has reached out to Doubleview but the company has not responded to repeated requests for comment.
According to Doubleview’s website, its Hat Project spans 5,200 hectares where the company is exploring for gold, copper and other minerals.
