After a two-day meeting, they left with docu- ments supposedly signed by the leaders of the Cheslatta. Papers signed with Xs, 92 Xs, and none crude ' grosses of men who had never held a pen, but ' refined crosses signed by one man with an edu- cated hand. With this, the Cheslatta became refugees in their own land, Many spent the rest of the winter in tents, Many got sick, some died -Winter over, survivors returned ‘home to recover some of their belong- ings to find their homes burned to the ground. Originally the Cheslatta were paid only one- “tenth the compensation the whites of Ootsa Lake received, . Only recently has Marvin Charlis managed to lever $6 million from Ottawa for the criminal acts done to his peaple. Three years ago the Cheslatta began returning to what remains of their traditional lands, but the in- . dignities continue. Though it promised not io, Alcan continues to flood the graveyards’ of the Cheslatta, Not even _ the ancestors of that people are immune from abuse. .At the Cheslate cemetery, bones, crosses and even a skull have washed up‘on the lake shore. “IE we, as a band, did this to the white people, ’ chased then out of ‘their homes, then destroyed their homes and graveyards, we'd be locked up)” says chief Charlie. “Our land, our homes, our traplines, our culture and lives were sacrificed, all for the sake of aluminum profiis,”” he pleads. Now the Cheslatta are taking steps to pull their - culture back together, black clouds are forming once again. ’Kemano II will dry up Chestatta Lake and pose a serious threat to the fisheries in the upper Fraser know: better. - 4 They a are ovved a that don’ tyou think?
