The Tahltan Central Government has contacted Bell Media, the Discovery Channel and Omnifilm Entertainment demanding the companies suspend airing the show Jade Fever.
The show follows a jade operation in Tahltan Territory and the Tahltan Government in a press release says it fails to demonstrate any consideration of impacts to Tahltan rights and title or depict responsible environmental stewardship. In addition the Central Government has provided the Province of B.C. with a demand letter requiring that all placer and hard-rock jade mining and placer gold operations within their territory suspend immediately.
The Tahltan Central Government will be taking steps to assert its jurisdiction and protect the territory if the province and these companies fail to act.
