Amnesty International Prince George is hosting a talk on alleged abuses of indigenous rights in British Columbia and by Canadian mining companies in Guatemala on Wednesday night.
It's set for the Omineca Arts Centre, 1119 Third Avenue, 7 p.m. start.
West Moberly Chief Roland Willson will report on the latest developments of the court challenge to the Site C dam and will put the dam in the context of cumulative impacts on indigenous title and rights.
UNBC professor Dr Catherine Nolin and graduate student Rebecca Ferris will report on a recent field course and research in Guatemala where they and other students visited communities, activists, lawyers and concerned citizens involved in "well-documented cases of repression, human rights violations and environmental damage caused by Canadian mining companies."
