Tsilhqot’in and Canadian First Nations Sovereignty - Panel Discussion from PIELC 2015

The Supreme Court of Canada’s recent Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia decision empowered First Nations seeking to assert title over their traditional territories and combating unwanted development on their lands. Eugene Kung and William Falk explain what the decision says, what it does not say, and strategies for carrying the Tsilhqot’in decision’s momentum forward. They also describe the growing strength in the British Columbia environmental movement

Panelists: William Falk, Vancouver Island Community Forest Action Network, Director; Eugene Kung, West Coast Environmental Law Center, Staff Counsel
