First Nations on western Vancouver Island are demanding to have a voice in any land use development on Clayoquot Sound.
Bands erupted in protests following a government announcement to allow logging in the pristine rain forest around Clayoquot sound. The five tribes in the central region of the Nuu-Chah-nulth Tribal Council were not consulted and had no input in the decision, said Chief Francis Frank of the Tla-o-qui-aht band.
