JUNE 7, 2000 The Tahltan Nation of British Columbia has been working with local communities and the provincial government to devise a plan that protects the Stikine River, a salmon heavy river that flows across the Canadian border into Alaska. Their plan calls for an addition of 1.1 million acres to parks in the Stikine River system and a logging ban on an additional 4 million acres. The plan is being sent to the British Columbia Cabinet for final approval. American politicians, including then Senator Al Gore and Alaska Govenor Tony Knowles have opposed development in British Columbia in the past. The Tahltan has used focus groups among its rural villages to help finalize its plan. Get the Story:
