Rio Tinto says it's committed to working with First Nations on Nechako River

Rio Tinto says they're committed to working with both the Saik’uz and Stellat’en First Nations following a Feb. 26 BC Supreme Court appeal decision regarding the two groups' aboriginal rights to fish the Nechako River watershed for food, social, and ceremonial purposes. Those rights were affirmed in a January 2022 ruling.

"Rio Tinto believes that governance of the flows on the Nechako River should be an inclusive process. We will continue to collaborate with First Nations, governments and other stakeholders in the watershed to review all aspects of the Nechako Reservoir management process," they added.
