The First Nations tribe the Tsilhqot’in are fighting to preserve a very important piece of land that is being challenged by Taseko Mines Ltd. The Tsilhqot’in are planning on opening Dasiqox Tribal Park in the exact location where the $1.1-billion New Prosperity copper-gold project is supposed to take place. As legal battles and disagreements arise, it is difficult to settle on what side of the fence to be on. To begin, the First Nations have been living on this land for hundreds of years. The interference with the tribe, the land and the environment that this mine would cause far exceeds what would be considered an ethical business plan. As the article states, this piece of land is home to “more than 10,000 hectares of threatened white bark pine forest, the last viable refuge for the dryland grizzly bear, [and an] important spawning habitat for chinook, sockeye, and coho salmon” (Pynn). However, it is also important to look at the situation from Taseko’s point of view. This piece of land was not originally declared as part of the Tsilhqot’in’s title, therefore it is understandable why Taseko is frustrated with this sudden halt to the construction of the mine. The validity of this new tribal park declaration seems questionable, so it is fair to say that both parties have legitimate reasons for their position on the disagreement. This new mine was set to be a large source of income for Taseko, therefore the Tsilhqot’in’s actions have a large impact on the success of the company.
