Williams Lake, BC (July 9, 2014): In response to Russell Hallbauers’ Revenue sharing would assist communities in need the Tsilhqot’in National Government stands in support for our Tribal Chairman Chief Joe Alphonse. We have dealt, as a Nation, with Taseko Mines Limited (TML) and the company’s attempts to force the proposed Prosperity Project. As a Nation, we will continue and will always work together, as one voice. The Tsilhqot’in Chiefs unanimously voted Chief Joe Alphonse as the spokesperson. The Tsilhqot’in national leadership is united from all six Chiefs – we demand for Hallbauer and TML to stop personal slander.
