Port Alberni - Nuu -chah -nulth Treaty Planners met at 1 Somass Hall on February 17th & 18th. The meeting was extended from one day to two so negotiators could deal with the urgent matter of current state of tripartite negotia- tions. British Columbia served notice that it will not attend any further tripartite negotiations until certain issues are resolved. Southern Region Co- chair, Richard Watts, says BC is officially saying it is not suspending negotiations with Nuu -chah- nulth, but is `just not going to show up'. "I don't see how Proverbs (BC Chief Negotiator, Trevor Proverbs) can think that they can stop TSC and that nothing else will be affected, we are all in this together," said Watts.
