Damien Gillis discusses a range of topics with Mehdi Najari - host of The Hidden News on Victoria's CFUV 101.9 FM - including the escalating stand-off over the proposed Prosperity Mine in the Tsilhqot'in Territory, southwest of Williams Lake, BC. Since the taping of this interview, the Tsilhqot'in peoples won an injunction to halt early construction work on the highly controversial mine. Gillis and Najari also discuss the history of indigenous resistance to mining projects in BC, including the historic Tsilhqot'in War over an eerily similar stand-off in the same territory 150 years ago. From November 29, 2011.
