(Photo of Linda Haig-Brown, Helen Haig-Brown, Beka Solo.)The message sent to Taseko: "Tsilhqot’in (Chilcotin) people have spent three decades defending Fish Lake (Teztan Biny), Nabas and the upper Dasiqox (Taseko) watershed from the threat of a massive open-pit gold and copper mine.
"Thousands of non-indigenous people and countless organizations have stood with the Tsilhqot’in to oppose the mine. In 2010 and 2013, two independent federal environmental review Panels investigated the mine proposal.
