Tsilhqot’in Nation decision fundamentally alters attitudes, municipal leaders told
Vancouver Sun
WHISTLER — The Tsilhqot’in Nation, flush with success after a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision recognizing their aboriginal title, opened a new front in local government relations Tuesday. Speaking to nearly 1,000 municipal politicians at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, aboriginal leaders sought to allay concerns, instead offering hope, neighbourliness and an astute understanding of their new political roles. Yes, the June 26 decision giving the Tsilhqot’in title to more than 1,750 square kilometres of land west of Williams Lake fundamentally alters the relationship of First Nations with all levels of Canadian government, Chief Percy Guichon said.
