Bears seem to be a theme for me. Soon after, I was invited to a "bear camp" with the Wuikinuxv First Nation on BC's Central Coast. Our tents dotted the lake edge, a bear snuffled around at night, & one of my tent neighbours teased that my loud snoring drove it away: hakaimagazine.com/features/in-...

You need to learn about treaty rights and realise that it's the law based on our Constitution. They must consult and get free, prior and informed consent. Seriously. What ignorance.

The coastal nations are Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai'xais, Nuxalk, Gitga'at, Metlakatla, Wuikinuxv, and the Haida Nation.
