VANCOUVER An Indigenous leader accused British Columbia s government Saturday of ignoring the needs of community members in Lytton while a wildfire levelled their village earlier in the week. The accusations came as the BC Coroners Service said it was finally safe to enter the community to investigate reports that two people were killed in the blaze, which destroyed businesses and homes as it cascaded through the village days earlier. The head of the Nlaka pamux Nation Tribal Council, of which the Lytton First Nation is a member, said that as the fire tore through the area, the council was forced to try to save lives with little to no help from the government.
