Press Release: West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations Launch Civil Actions for Treaty Infringe
JANUARY 16, 2018
“The cumulative impact of the Bennett, Peace Canyon, and Site C Dams is to turn the Peace River into a series of reservoirs, destroying the unique cultural and ecological character of the Peace, severing the physical, practical, cultural and spiritual connection the Prophet have with the Peace, and infringing [West Moberly and Prophet’s] Treaty Rights,” the civil action states.
The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations now estimate damages caused by the completion of Site C could amount to $1 billion.
