October 11 1995 Cowichan and Nanaimo First Nations members were detained by Fort St. John RCMP for out of season hunting. Despite written authorization from Treaty 8 groups Doig River and verbal approval from Halfway River, authorities confiscated meat. Treaty 8 leaders blasted the arrest as a breach of jurisdiction and rights, urging co management and honoring treaties.
