~ Kemano Il talks
have broken off

. Herald Staff Writer .
‘HAZELTON — Talks between the
Gitk’san-Carrier Tribal Council and the
Aluminum Company of Canada con-
cerning the Kemano II project have
broken off.

Spokesmen for the tribal council say the

talks broke off June 30 because the com-
pany failed to take the talks seriously.

Tribal ‘Council chairman Nell. Sterritt
said the council had been engaged in talks
with the company since November, but
“had now come to the conclusion that the
company regarded the talks as a “public
relations” gesture.

Sterritt said the discussions were aimed
at providing a. dialogue between the
council and the company about the im-
pacts of Alean’s proposed Keniano com-
petion project. He said the talks were
‘undertaken as part of the: “co-
development" consultation process an-
nounced by Alcan B.C. vice-president Bill
Rich over a year ago. =

Sterritt said the talks had now been

broken off because the council “could not .

_ get any details on the co-development

process.”
Ina letter to Rich June 30, Sterritt sald,

” “Despite our best efforts. we have not been -

able to draw out fram you anything but the

vaguest of statements on how your ~
company proposed to assess.the impacts of

Alcan plans to reverse the flow of the .

 Nanika River at the headwaters of the

Bulkley system to produce power for new
aluminum smelters. The rivers lie within

_the Gitk'san-Carrier land claims area

while a proposed smelter site.in Van-
derhoof falls with the Carrier-Sekanni land
claims area,

Alcans’ officials say they want’ the
dialogue with the bands to continue and

‘ say ‘the company. is concerned with -
learning the outlines of the councils land

claims position,

“Like ather groups, they want to have
some say in the development of their
area," Alcan information’ officer Bruce
Rosenhart said. ''We will be in touch with

them and hope the dialogue will continue.” ~
Rosenhart said the talks themselves are

part of the co-development process which

_ is designed' to gather public input ‘inte

plans for the area being developed by the

company.

The company would be responding to the
letter and would continue to send in-
formation to the council, he said.

Sterritt was. unsure the talks would be

resumed: He said the council has limited
. Tesources and would only devote them to
projects they felt had.a chance of suc--
ceeding,
