“The catastrophic wildfires devastated British Columbia in 2017. The Tsilhqot’in communities, their territory and
wildlife will take years to recover. Planning for the future of impending emergencies needed to happen yesterday. The wildfires swept through the Tsilhqot’in territory in the summer of 2017 and illuminated the issues that plague the inclusion of First Nation value systems in government-togovernment relationships. In many ways the fires awakened the Tsilhqot’in people.”
