The Xeni Gwet’in Youth and Elders wagon group travel through the majestic Farwell Canyon, about an hour drive west of Williams Lake, Wednesday. The group has been on the road since Friday, June 20, and is expected to arrive at the 88th annual Williams Lake Stampede today, Friday, June 27 for the evening rodeo performance. Chief Roger William was a part of the group until Tuesday, when he left for Vancouver to be on hand for the historic rights and title decision delivered by the Supreme Court Thursday. He was expected to rejoin the group last night.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The persistence of a small group of First Nations in the Cariboo-Chilcotin has paved the way for rights and title for all First Nations in Canada. On Thursday, the Supreme
Court of Canada handed down a unanimous precedent-setting decision in favour of the Xeni Gwet’in, of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, declaring Aboriginal title to approximately 1,700 square kilometres in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region of B.C. On a grander scale, many ex-
pect the case will have much farther reaching implications on how provincial and federal governments work with First Nations. “It’s a game changer,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, during a national press conference held Thursday
morning in Vancouver. All six Tsilhqot’in chiefs were on hand for the historic decision, including Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William who is named in the case. See WILLIAM Page A2
