Under the effort made by Tsilhqot’in leaders, a new tribal park – Dasiqox Tribal Park was created in Sept. 10, 2014. The establishment of  this reserve develop the process of protecting aboriginal people’s right, which means a lot to B.C.  government and  Tsilhqot’in own government.

As a large mining company seeking opportunities to do business, Taseko previously invested in the fish lake right besides the boundary of the tribal park area recognized by the courts. However, due to the disagreements of native for Taseko to earn profits through  damaging their living environment, Taseko was in dilemma to his gold-copper project.

From where I stand, it is important that Taseko try to hire native employees which may improve the local families’ living standard, making them earn benefit from their project as the decision from First Nation Government would depend  on how this project would influence their long-term development.  Also essential is that  Taseko makes its projects more environmentally-friendly and respect the Tsilhqot’in government because it is an external factor which has  significant impact

on their business . For instance, mining projects should be under First Nation Government’s supervision. Sharing a appropriate proportion of their profit earned in this project with First Nation Government as funding for rebuilding the environment. I firmly believe that Taseko would be successfully run its project though doing what is mentioned above.
