First Nations outraged after hydro crews damaged petroglyph

By

NANAIMO (NEWS1130) – A Nanaimo First Nations is outraged after crews contracted by BC Hydro damaged an ancient petroglyph.

Douglas White, chief of the Snuneymuxw First Nation says the damage done last week disrespects native heritage.

White says he doesn’t understand how it could happen, since rock art sites — some of which are more than two-thousand years old — are well documented and protected by legislation.

BC Hydro says it will work with First Nations to ensure it never happens again.
