The thing is they are the ones logging it- they own logging companies and mills. I know because I am Native my husband was able to get work there when others were not. One of the chiefs stated: During an interview on CKNW’s Bill Good show Monday Chief Alphonse said this: “Most of my people that are wanting to work are working. If you want to be working, it’s there. You might have to travel a little ways to get it, but the majority of people in the community are not working.” Here’s more of what Chief Alphonse told radio listeners: “You want to work, you want a job: they’re pretty easy to find up here in Williams Lake, as far as I’m concerned.” He went on to list a whole slew of projects in the area … Gibralter Mine, Mount Polley, Milligan, etc. and said local fort operations and mills are also back up and running. He then goes on to say that they are looking at that land as a bank account (and rightly so) but are just waiting for the right company. This is one of the chiefs that was out there saying' my people have no work, and then states that...unprompted....at around 14:50 He makes awesome points about being respected and being part of the process as they have been for a long time- including when they go in and log and mine.. 3 sides to every story....his side....his side....and somewhere in the middle....closer to the truth and here is the link https://soundcloud.com/cknwnewstalk980/bill-good-show-mon-mar-3-lead
