	Tallying the Taku - March/April 1998 - Sierra Magazine - Sierra Club
		River travel, for all its let-gravity-do-the-work pleasantness, can induce claustrophobia, so we were always eager to take breaks to scramble up the river canyon slopes to get a hint of where, exactly, we were.
		At press time, the Taku's fate is in the hands of provincial ministers in Victoria, who must weigh Redfern's claim (based on ten days of research) that its mine will cause negligible impact against the appeals of environmentalists, who want the region protected from mining, logging, and other development.
		At the least, wilderness activists say, the government should wait until treaty negotiations with the Taku River Tlingit are settled and a long-term land protection plan for this little-known region is put in place.
