Hey, @theJagmeetSingh. This is the problem with saying that now first nations have the right to control their own territory. The Pacheedaht have been shut out in the past, for sure. But the only solution made available to them has been to join in with logging. #SaveFairyCreek
And there is concurrent federal jurisdiction you can't ignore. The position of the Pacheedaht is equivalent to what in law is termed "agency capture". This is from a July 1, 2021 article in the Narwhal by Sarah Cox:
"Thirteen years ago, the forested area on the nation’s territory — about 163,000 hectares — was allocated to third parties through licenced areas and forest tenures. The Pacheedaht didn’t hold any of the logging rights.

Police attempted to raid Waterfall Camp after making multiple announcements, both last night & this morning, that there would be no enforcement taking place. Classic. You have to play dirty when you’re losing.
