Invitation to Environmentalists

ISTA (Fog Creek) is a Sacred Site for the Nuxalkmc This site is being desecrated by the Interfor logging corporation The logging done at ISTA is illegal because Interfor is trespassing on Nuxalk Land We have not consented or negotiated away our Nuxalk Title and Rights at ISTA so the timber is being "stolen"

We have continually requested sustainable logging practices but ISTA is still being CLEARCUT logged under the BC Forest Practices Code. We call for an end to industrial clearcut logging on the mid coast of BC. We invite the Forest Action Network, Greenpeace, Bearwatch and PATH to stand together with us to protect ISTA and the ancient rainforests of Nuxalk Territory. The political position of the Nuxalk has always been in place and has not changed at all. We call for support from the Chief and Councils of the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo and Oweekeno to protect Indian Land in Nuxalk Territory. For the future of our children, grandchildren and those yet to be born . . . Way! Nuxalk House of Smayusta Bella Coola, BC
