Tahltan in Standoff with Province over Hunting Rules

Amanda Follett, The Tyee

It's a crisp mid-October day and moose brisket simmers over an open fire at the site known as Eight Mile on the Telegraph Creek Highway. A black pickup rolls to a stop at the orange barricade and Fred Moyer springs to attention, rushing his lanky frame over to the vehicle. Raised voices and occasional laughter emerge from the quad-toting couple. Eventually the pickup reverses, turns, then roars back toward Dease Lake.

Moyer's shoulders sag as he returns to the fire. He's just turned away his cousins.
