Summary
An anonymous, hateful sign in Hudson’s Hope sparked outrage after claiming a small parcel of land—part of a historic treaty entitlement owed to the West Moberly First Nation—should belong to the community, not the First Nation. The sign was swiftly removed, and local leaders, including Mayor Travous Quibell, condemned it as misleading and out of step with the town’s values. Chief Roland Willson emphasized that the treaty land process is about honoring century-old promises and growing sustainably, using only Crown land and partnering with the town. The mayor confirmed the municipality has no interest in the land and supports the First Nation’s acquisition, seeing future development as a win for the small community. Amid backlash, residents showed solidarity online, and Chief Willson celebrated the outpouring of support as a sign of respect and neighborly unity, pointing to successful examples like the Doig River First Nation’s urban reserve as proof of progress.
