    • 2014 October 24, Wendy Stueck, “B.C.'s apology for hanging Tsilhqot'in war chiefs one step in a long healing process”, in The Globe and Mail‎[1]:
      Some details have faded with time. But like most Tsilhqot’in people, she recalls the major themes as clearly as if they were carved in stone: the six chiefs went to war to protect Tsilhqot’in territory. They were tried and hanged as murderers after coming to what they thought would be peace talks. Their deaths are part of a long pattern of Tsilhqot’in people fighting to protect their land and an equally long pattern of betrayal by Canadian governments.

      The Tsilhqot’in solar farm emerges as 16 neat rows of silvery panels on the tawny and green-mottled Chilcotin Plateau’s landscape just off Highway 20, about 80 kilometres west of Williams Lake on the drive to Bella Coola.
