Concerned members of the Tahltan Nation have set up a road block on Highway #37, 80 km south of Dease Lake, BC at the Tatogga Lake Resort. The Red Chris Mine is within the territory of the Tahltan Nation who have occupied territory since time immemorial. The specific area where the RedChris Mine is being constructed is home to many species of animals including Stone Sheep, Mountain Goat, Moose and Caribou.
