That sure is great to see. But it is too bad that chief Sid Douglas of the cheam first nations does not feel the same. Here is what he said
 "Chief Sid Douglas of the Cheam First Nation said declining stocks are a concern, but so is food".

What if we started a food drive for these folks?  Then they wouldn't need these scarce fish would they?

Grocery stores are open.
Government cheques every month.

This is not about food it is about money.

What this is, is good conservation practices on behalf of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation. That what this is.

Chief Leah George-Wilson is showing an example of excellent leadership.

It's a smart and innovative approach to a problem that other first nations groups can look to as a positive example. Hopefully other leaders (provincial, federal and first nations) step up to plate...

Anyone know which first Nations bands that have a sockeye allocation on the Fraser?  I've sent my appreciation to Chief Leah George-Wilson for his actions and would like to encourage other bands to follow his lead.

Chief Leah George-Wilson's email is chiefandcouncil@twnation.ca possibly other FWR readers may want to congratulate him for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation sockeye embargo on the Fraser.

Cheers!
John


Dear Chief Leah George-Wilson,

I would like to send my appreciation and congratulate you for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation sockeye embargo on the Fraser.  Your leadership in this critical time for the Fraser Sockeye is greatly appreciated by myself and my fellow sportfishing collegues.  I could only hope by your positive example that it may encourage others to follow you lead.

yep, it's not a food fishery, it's money fishery ..
in this day and age, hunting and gathering food to survive through the winter is irrelevant.
You are not going to starve...
I can't believe some of the things that come out of people's mouths.

For those of you wishing to email Chief Leah George-Wilson the email address in Flatliners post is not working.

You should try reception@twnation.ca which does work.
