Alaskan tribes sue B.C. gov’t over mines in far northwest

By Andrew Kurjata, Hanna Petersen –  CBC News

A group of tribal nations in Alaska has gone to B.C. Supreme Court demanding their voice be heard on major mining projects in the province’s northwest.

They claim the British Columbia government has failed to consult them on major mining projects proposed for the region — some of which have been identified for fast-tracking by the provincial and federal governments against the backdrop of the trade war with the United States.
