After a decade-long legal battle, Saik’uz and Stellat’en First Nations saw the B.C. Court of Appeal hand out a landmark decision about Indigenous fishing rights.

The case involved both First Nations asserting their constitutional entitlements against Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) and government bodies.
 

Originating from the 1950s legislation permitting the construction of the Kenney Dam so RTA’s predecessor Alcan could dam the Nechako River as part of its hydro-electric project to provide the power to run its Kitimat aluminum smelter, the case escalated as the First Nations said the project infringed upon their fishing rights on the Nechako River.
