Watch for moose crossing roads - a night hazard to drivers
DANACH'EA (greetings)
On Highway 97, 140 kilometres north of Prince George, lies what is now called McLeod's Lake. Home to a couple of hundred residents around the lakeside area, its principle residents include the McLeod Lake Indian Band people; a small First Nation community who've signed Treaty 8 with Canada on April 28, 2000.
An Athabaskan culture, this small community are working at maintaining a quality of life much as they've had for their past - hunting rights, fishing excursions to the river and governing their own affairs through an elected Chief & Council.
Their main current source of revenue is Duz Cho Logging, an outfit that since the mid 1980s has steadily been increasing its wood cut volume, harvesting timber almost all year round for companies such as CanFor and Abitibi.
Two administration buildings currently employ most of the local area residents and there are talks of projects being developed to help modernize the community and hopefully diversify its current source of income...
