Cheslatta grave flooding continues

Traditional graves at the old Cheslatta reserve are flooding again this year, adding more fuel to the British Columbia band's 40-year-old drive for a fair land settlement.
Only 87 of the original graves in the three separate cemeteries remain after years
of flooding, caused by an aluminum smelting development.
"It is against the law," said Marvin Charlie, chief of the small band now centered on several small reserves around the northern city of Prince George.
