Band hammers out mining agreement
April 8, 2009
The Kamloops Indian Band and the province have signed an agreement being hailed as a historic partnership for sharing the spoils of mining on First Nations land.
Kamloops Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson said he signed the Mining and Minerals Agreement Tuesday with Chief Rick Deneault of the neighbouring Skeetchestn Indian Band. The two groups have shared land and a mine is located within that land, he added. The chief said the band has already signed an agreement with a mining company.
