The event was sponsored by BC LNG Alliance and began with a visit to Tse’K’wa (Rock House) at Charlie Lake, an 8 acre property owned by Doig River, Prophet river, and West Moberly. According to archaeological evidence, the cave site at Charlie Lake is a uniquely spiritual site that has been used and visited by humans for more than 12,000 years.
