Some northern First Nations abandoned the negotiating table Thursday, choosing instead to head to court, to the international marketplace and possibly to the blockades. The Northwest Tribal Treaty Nations, with the support of the First Nations Summit, announced they will protest changes to provincial forest policy by every means at their disposal. “Government and industry are looking for certainty, but only First Nations can provide that certainty,” said Ed John, First Nations Summer task group member. “Until proper accommodation happens, neither the marketplace nor the investment community will have certainty.” That uncertainty could result from a number of actions being planned by First Nations who met in Prince George Thursday, said Carrier Sekani Tribal Council Chief Mavis Erickson.
