By Darryl Greer THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER- A First Nation is suing the British Columbia and federal governments and the company behind a railway terminal port in the province’s Interior, claiming it wasn’t property consulted about the project it says has “desecrated” its ancestral territory.   Bonaparte First Nation Chief Frank Antoine said inland port development by Ashcroft Terminal Ltd. over the First Nations’ ancestral remains continues unabated with the support of the federal and provincial government.   The nation filed a lawsuit Wednesday, saying it has been wrongfully misled and shut out of the development process.   In June 2021, Antoine said members of the Bonaparte staged a sit-in protest on the site of Ashcroft Terminal’s inland port, where expansion activities unearthed ancestral remains and other culturally significant artifacts.
