Page R8

Jimmy Stillas experienced a death not unfamiliar to those who use a snowmobile on a regular basis.

Let me explain:

Stillas was a trapper in the Cariboo-Chilcotin area of British Columbia. He was also chief of the Ulkatcho band of the Carrier Indians.

He and a couple of friends had left their village at Anahim Lake, 3,000 kilometres west of Williams Lake, one day in December of 1990. They were heading up to his trapping cabin near Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.
