Thursday the supreme court of Canada ruled it would not re-examine a BC courts ruling from 2009. The decision said five tribes on Vancouver Islands west coast could fish for any species and sell the bounty for a profit. Today the Nuu-chah-nulth tribal council is applauding the decision. "What the courts have done is recognize our right to harvest and sell our aquatic resources" said President of the tribal council Cliff Atleo. The lengthy battle to fish with impunity ends on an apparent positive note for Island First Nations but some are saying it is simply a decision that should have been made decades ago. Project manager for the Nuu-chah-nulth fisheries department Don Hall saying " it just puts Nuu-chah-nulth into the fisheries in an economic way that they have been excluded from for years by government policy." The renewed directive from the high court of Canada takes effect up and down Vancouver Island immediately. Follow Scott Cunningham on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/CTVNewsScott |
