A court petition has been started to protect the Chuu Xaadeslii region, which includes the Anzac and Table Rivers, alleging the province has breached Treaty 8 rights.
West Moberly First Nations have filed a B.C. Supreme Court petition to protect the Anzac and Table River area from logging proposed by Canfor, claiming Treaty 8 rights and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples have been breached.
Known as Chuu Xaadeslii by the Dunne-za people or “Where the Water Starts”, West Moberly says the region would be significantly impacted by industrial activity. According to the petition, Chief Roland Willson sent a June 13 letter to the province advising that West Moberly would impose a moratorium over all current or proposed forestry activities within the Chuu Xaadeslii region due to concerns with Canfor reports shared in January and October 2022.
