B.C. Interior Chiefs call on Alaskan fishery to stop intercepting vulnerable salmon

T]ilhqotin chiefs are urging the Alaskan District 104 Fishery to cease intercepting vulnerable salmon stocks, claiming this infringes on their Aboriginal rights.
The Alaskan fishery harvested 45,000 Chilko River sockeye and 78,000 Fraser River sockeye, impacting food security for the T]ilhqotin Nation, according to the Tsilhqotin National Government.
Chief Joe Alphonse stated that the T]ilhqotin Nation closed its traditional fishery, sacrificing cultural practices and food security due to low salmon returns.
The T]ilhqotin Nation is calling for the Pacific Salmon Commission to halt the Alaskan fishery's operations until salmon stocks recover and to include them in management decisions.
