B.C. to contest lawsuit by U.S.-based tribes over Indigenous consultation rights in Canada
The Colville Tribes say they are part of the Sinixt people and should be treated as an "Aboriginal people of Canada" who were "driven out" of their ancestral lands in B.C. due to Canadian colonization.

@cbcbc_mirror #BCNDP & federal Liberals don't care about respecting #IndigenousRights. They have blown millions of tax dollars to sue Indigenous peoples in BC & they sic RCMP on native land defenders. #Colonizers never really changed & are still abusive/exploitive. They never planned to fully implement #UNDRIP.
