This goes the same for the In Shuck Ch treaty process. The Samahquam and Skatin Chief and Council did a new letter of intent to BCTC after Douglas successfully opted out. The Treaty then was considered collapsed. The councils did the letter of intent without Band Members knowledge, informed consent. Surrender of Aboriginal title requires a public referendum, after pros and cons are reviewed. That also means that Interim Forestry Agreements are also not legal for the same reasons. Logging extinguish hunting rights in the areas they log. It is vital that Membership be allowed Legal Counsel to review what rights have been infringed upon. too many court cases have decided in favour or Aboriginal rights. Under the Indian Act, Elected Chief and Councils are legal members of the Federal board, and thus must follow court rules to keep the honor of the Crown. Frank vs Bottle in 1994 court made this finding. "In fact the InShuckch Treaty Chief Negotiator became a bully and coward, when he instructed his Treaty Staff to Socially Ostracized and Elder Mother and her children. Ruled that Treaty Staff to not to speak to, contact or communicate with this Elder Mother, "M.A.Peters" This issue was brought before a Samahquam AGM in July of 2010, and in fact the Treaty Negotiator admitted it, but offered no apology. Why does this has to happen. Thank you. God Keep our Lands and protect our Elders and precious children.
