Xatśūll First Nation says the government is failing its commitment to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Xatśūll First Nation says it is “very disappointed” in the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals for permitting the Cariboo Gold Project without the nation’s prior consent.
The nation said it would consider its legal options in response to the permit, which provided without their consent counters the government's commitment to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples . Xatśūll said it would like to see sustainable resource development in its territory but will only provide consent for the Cariboo Gold Project once outstanding concerns are appropriately addressed in a meaningful way.
