The Tahltan Indian Nation traditional peoples occupied the Indian Act government offices in 2005 and 2006 to force another Indian out, Jerry Asp. The Tahltan had a small measure of success yet Asp continues to be promoted as a great mining company asset. The effort was in part to save the Klappan region which is the source of water for all the major rivers of the Sacred Circle Nations. International trader Royal Dutch Shell wanted to drill and fracture the area to recover the gas. Today Fortune Minerals has announced they have changed the name of their Klappan Coal Mine to the Arctos Project as they recognized the people of the Tahltan would associate the word Klappan with the region they plan to dig up. The deceit continues.
Even the mine already functioning in Tahltan territory has employed one of the worlds most despised internationalists, a company Danny Glover was arrested for protesting against, Sedexo. This company is bullying the workers at Imperial Metals Red Chris mine, which borders the Klappan in Tahltan territory, and pays the lowest wage possible as well as using imported workers.
The Tsimshian Nation is presently being divided by the BC treaty process. The Chief negotiator claiming to represent the Tsimshian Nation has held this position for 25 years. While Premier Campbell was actively engaged in corrupting the Haisla Nation he instituted a process which essentially divided the Tsimshian Nation, the Incremental Treaty Process. In order to ensure he maintained receiving approximately $150,000 per year, Tsimshian Indian Gerald Wesley started a new society (just like the Gitxsan, Elmer Derrick) claiming to represent all the Tsimshian. During a celebration in September of 2012 for a treaty agreement [ http://www.terracedaily.ca/cgi-bin/show_articles.cgi?ID=10196&TOPIC=0 ] negotiated by Wesley, Derrick attended and shook his hand. The Tsimshian Nation is comprised of at least 9 distinct groups and together they represent the Nation. Wesley is presently encouraging two of these communities enter into a treaty with Canada. This would be no different than a city in Canada attempting to make a treaty with another country, bypassing Harper and the Canadian government. It is no less than treason against the Tsimshian Nation as a whole. [ http://www.terracedaily.ca/show9694a300x300y1z/HOW_THE_TSIMSHIAN_GET_FLIM_FLAM_SHIM_SHAMMED ]
In an embarrassingly demoralizing act, the Tsimshian village of Kitsumkalum held a celebration last weekend to celebrate a new rail line into their territory; this while all the Idle No More rallies were being held across Canada. The rail line is required to deliver the rock from a quarry to build new port facilities for the pipelines and rail terminals, which of course, will require access to all the lands in the Sacred Circle.
The Sacred Circle, Northwest BC, is called the golden triangle by the international traders and industrialists. It is the last unspoiled region, virtually on the planet.
A remarkable discovery revealed the three major rivers; the Stikine, Nass and Skeena, clearly outline a facial profile, one taken to represent a sacred value. There is an extensive oral history for the region, called Damelahamid (Temlaham) by the local people. They even have a historical compilation of the stories from heaven, which include a flood story and virgin birth.

New associations of developers and names keep sprouting such as; The Northwest Corridor Development Corporation (NCDC) [ http://www.nwcorridor.com/Home ] and the Asia Pacific Gateway. The economic opportunities are endless. The only thing standing in the way is the Indians.
There are literally billions, likely trillions of dollar of revenue to be earned from the region. Just the investment alone into 6 proposed projects is over 10 billon dollars. Gold mines, coal mines, pipelines, transmission lines and power generation plants. It is the Sacred Circle, the world's largest, most prosperous region, traders want to come and exploit.
