Kimberly Mack will appear in provincial court in Bella Coola Thursday asking to be compensated $15,000 for what she alleges was an illegal search that failed to turn up any drugs.

A strong Nuxalk woman, warrior, mother, and land defender, Colette Schooner, also known by her Nuxalk name Aluusta, passed away on March 4, 2015.
Born on October 29, 1980, Colette was just 34 years old. She was a mother to two children, a boy and a girl, ages 7 and 4 years old. Aluusta fought a year long battle against cancer before passing on.
Colette will be mourned by many people in both the Nuxalkmc nation as well as the Indigenous resistance movement. She participated in numerous land defence struggles throughout her life, including the 1997 Nuxalk blockades at Ista (King’s Island) at the age of 16, as well as the reclamation of Scw7cwlk, where she helped build a traditional pit house in an area targeted by logging.

The Nuxalk First Nation of Bella Coola announced Thursday it is pulling out of the federal review process of Enbridge’s proposed $5.5-billion Northern Gateway oil pipeline.
The Nuxalk, who had signed on as interveners but had yet to provide evidence, say they are withdrawing because of the federal government’s recent pronouncement to shorten the review, and the review panel’s handling of recent hearings in the neighbouring community of Bella Bella.
