Road Bringing 20th Century To Indians
Nazko and Klusko Indians in Chilcotin district near Quesnel are set to gain a two lane gravel road replacing a dirt trail linking them to outside regions. The project, overseen by Brendan Kennedy of the British Columbia Union of Indian Chiefs, aims to open the area to logging and tourism while helping residents improve health, housing, and diet. Kennedy notes children carry information back to parents as roads improve access to outside aid.
