The Tsilhqot’in are a First Nations people of the Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group that live in British Columbia. The article, “To the Tsilhqot’in, with Gloves,” talks about the First Nation Peoples struggles that they face with regarding their preserved land. When companies want to overtake First Nations land I think an important issue to think about is ethics. Is it ethically correct when an oil company fights to overtake and destroy the Tsilhqot’s land? Supreme Court Justice Beverley McLachlin supports the First Nations and is the reason why their land is maintaining untouched. 
First Nation members have come together and banded the effort to conserve the land by making a large portion of it as a tribal park. This restricts companies from extracting resources, which could lead to huge setbacks for many mining companies and restrict overall economic growth of the mining industry in British Columbia.
The Article “The First Nation chiefs to stage Site showdown,” discusses how BC wants to construct and operate a dam and 1,100 megawatt hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia. The Tsilhqot’in people have stated that they are interested in supporting smaller projects within the areas of wind, solar and geothermal power. I think that this is a very reasonable statement and very environmentally efficient. If BC hydro were to build this dam, it will cause valley flooding, which would impair their rights to fish, hunt and use the area for ceremonial purposes. These issues that arise with big companies wanting to take over and destroy the First Nations peoples habitat need to be ethically revised.
