Another example of #bcpoli #BCNDP putting money ahead of #IndigenousRights and title, and failing to honour the spirit and intent of #UNDRIP.

Answer: "No."
Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?
by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025
"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.
"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.
"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.
"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.
"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.
"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

The Declaration Act is about human rights
Premier David Eby and the BC government are breaking their commitment and planning to amend the Declaration Act by undermining Indigenous peoples' right to hold the government accountable in court.

@Mannanan Sen̓áḵw for Cowichan?
The Cowichan decision does not demand the surrender of fee-simple lands, it demands Richmond and Prov of BC negotiate a resolution.
I'm guessing if the Cowichan were offered publicly owned land that could establish what Squamish were provided to establish a Cowichan "Sen̓áḵw", that issue would be resolved.
But Richmond and Prov of BC would rather force years of uncertainty than to face the responsibility history has laid at their feet.
Cowichan housing success would lay bare Richmond and the prov's inability to resolve these issues.

*I think Eby's the current, problematic BC politician in Premier power role. The core problem is that #BCNDP haven't really respected #IndigenousRights for a long time. Their caucus became too whipped under Horgan & that's continued under Eby - who was groomed by the former neoliberal in charge of BC policies.*
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs says the NDP has a “colossal” leadership problem, and if it doesn’t move on from Premier David Eby, the party could be doomed for decades. “I think the problem is Premier Eby,” he said at a Friday morning news conference in Vancouver held by Indigenous leaders opposed to a proposed suspension of parts of the Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples Act (DRIPA).
Phillip spoke alongside the #FirstNations Leadership Council, which is made up of members of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, the First Nations Summit and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. The groups held a joint news conference in Vancouver on Friday (April 10), slamming the B.C. NDP government’s DRIPA suspension plan, a move the council had called a “unilateral betrayal” on Thursday. #DRIPA is a 2019 B.C. law that formally commits the province to aligning its laws with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ( #UNDRIP ), which affirms the right to #SelfDetermination for #Indigenous peoples worldwide.

@Mannanan
The conservative voices vilifying the Cowichan decision, arguing it removes property rights is full of contradictions.The court established that the Cowichan tribe proved they had exclusively occupied Lulu Island for generations, -> "owned"
In arguing against the Cowichan, conservative voices are saying government should have the right to take control of land who's use and ownership is established and obvious. and use if for their own gain?
Isn't this precisely the opposite of conservative philosophy?
The property rights noise is a pathetic effort to game ignorance anger prejudice and division for political gain.

Will Canadians follow the call to willful ignorance?
The Cowichan ruling isn’t a threat to private property
"The ruling does not undermine or invalidate the rights of any landowners who were not parties to the case.
Instead, the court directed the federal and provincial governments to negotiate with the Cowichan about how to reconcile Aboriginal title with existing fee-simple title. "
It’s a call for governments to face their obligations to Indigenous Peoples, but owners outside the case won’t suddenly lose their deeds.

Will Canadians follow the call to willful ignorance?
The Cowichan ruling isn’t a threat to private property
"The ruling does not undermine or invalidate the rights of any landowners who were not parties to the case.

I have friends who are directly affected by the increased #racism towards #Indigenous people in #PowellRiver. It's always been an issue but has increased in recent years.

Critical minerals collide with #tourism in B.C. resort town.
A #Calgary based mining company called West High Yield Resources wants to extract #magnesium ore from Record Ridge, about seven kilometres outside of town, and ship it overseas.
West High Yield holds mineral claims over 8,972 hectares at the site — an area 4.6 times bigger than the city of Victoria. In October 2025, the #BCgovernment approved the company’s #mining permit.
Several #Rossland residents say they have been confounded by what they see as abnormalities in the siting and permitting of the mine. Many have united under the banner of the non-profit Save Record Ridge Action Society ( #SRRAC ).
At one point, WHY Resources sought to remove up to 200,000 tonnes of ore a year, but later reduced that to 63,500 tonnes per year — below the 70,000-tonne limit that often triggers an environmental assessment.
In a May 2025 letter to the province, the #Ktunaxa Nation Council argued alongside SRRAC that the mine footprint only dropped by 5.7 per cent, despite a 68 per cent cut in proposed production.
The stated lower production capacity “masks and understates its true capacity” and environmental footprint, added the nation, arguing it’s designed to avoid initial regulatory hurdles and be scaled up later.
SRRAC requested that Ottawa carry out an environmental review of the Record Ridge mine project.
A report issued last month from the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada rejected that request. It found the mine project did not require federal designation, and that existing laws were enough to manage the potential impacts on fish, migratory birds and Indigenous rights.
