Tahltan nation to hunt grizzlies and other predators to help ungulates

[Surrey Boy]

If you guys think that the Tahltan would have our interest in looking after game management think again there all for themselves , i've been up there enough times to know , Tahltan people have told me many times they don't want the the whiteman there and want to close hunting to us . might as well vote the NDP in again as well , because we all will be screwed

Funby how few hunters appreciate this.

Some groups are fundamentally our enemies, not just as hunters, but as ethnic Europeans. They want us all gone.

Bingo.......

yuppers! not about reopening a hunt, its about Tahltan. Non Fn will not be a part or reap the benefits of this......The tahltans are blocking roads to all Non Band members to hunt moose in their territory......... This president is taking an opportunity and exploiting it in order to provide an economic boost for his people. Their "exclusivity" will be the meal ticket to financial gains and he will fight to make sure it remains FN only.

Couldn't agree more.....

And our present government keeps giving them more and more. Control of the BC fisheries is on the block now.

If Horgan gets in with a majority we are going to pay dearly for it. Unfortunately, I think it is the most likely outcome from this looming election. The NDP seem intent on selling out rural BC and there is nothing we can do about it as they do not listen, nor care about anything outside of the LML and the southern part of the Island. I do wonder however, where is the tax revenue going to come from once they have wiped out the logging, mining and handed the majority of the rural land base over to the FN? Also, let's not foget all of these moves are also going to nuke tourism.

Maybe that is why there has been piss all for help to the tourism sector from both the federal and provincial government. Not as expensive to buy out tourism businesses that are barely functioning and no expense required for those that have gone under. Would not put it past them.

I question the legitimacy of the entire treaty process, and the blind acceptance of UNDRIP. To think that there isn't any nefarious people involved in the decision making process is ludicrous.
Whenever I hear any FN speaking about any contemporary topic in BC, the end game is about a self serving agenda, always.

As usual, your comments on this sad issue are accurate, timely and I completely agree.

[REMINGTON JIM]

I will NEVER accept any indian controlling my hunting and DO NOT accept any of their so-called "rights"!!!!!!!

Gotta AGREE with you Dewey ! RJ

[HarryToolips]

Glad that it will will display to the greenies and the latte sipping hippies that maybe hunting preds isn't as barbaric as they think if the 'iconic FNs' are doing it...but, I don't like the fact that Tahltan have an apparent agenda, and it doesn't include us regular whities as having any hunting privileges...and our ballless govt continues to give them more power....everyone remember to get out and vote for the BC Liberals later this month..

Yep! Well said! Being condescending won't get you anywhere. "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar!" Regardless of a persons stance or opinion, the fact of the matter is 95% of BC is unceded, First Nations have never legally signed away their land, not like the rest of Canada. Here's the questions: Is it just, whether in the past or present to invade a country, land or nation without some kind of negotiations? Look up Royal Proclamation for more info. Things (or law) haven't changed since then, that's why we have the United Nations and NATO. We need to appreciate the securities and alliance we have.

I'm for pro resident hunter rights as the next person in this community. But I still recognize the harm that was done to folks that were here first.
Safety and Prosperity. I'm not blind to the facts that FN and other races experienced racism and exclusion in this Country. There were laws against people owning land and other unfair practices. I wouldn't want to experience what they went through. Just talk to older generation of people of minority groups. They often have stories of how they were spat on, threatened, bullied etc.

Just in case people forget their high school social studies:

Our own goverment and corporations have not had the greatest track record in the past regarding the enviroment which affected hunting and fishing (Housing Development, overfishing, mining and Forestry to name a few.
Hunters profess to know whats best because we're out there and value the resource. Why do we put down other allies we have against those who would ban hunting altogether? They had thousands of years of living with the land in a much less disruptive way than we do now.
