Tahtlan elders are protesting at the Fortune site by, among other things, holding drum circles near Fortune’s field camp twice a day. When the project was first announced in 2005, local Tahtlan were split about the potential benefit of the mine, with 15 elders arrested during a blockade of the site. The Tahtlan have since united in opposition to the company plans. Fortune Minerals Ltd.
