A warrior's final interview: William "Wolverine" Ignace - APTN National News: On Tuesday March 22, 2016, William Jones “Wolverine” Ignace passed away in the care of family in his home. He was an Elder of the Secwepemc people. In 1995, he and the Ts’Peten Defenders sought to reclaim unceded land on which sundances were being held, in what later became known as the Gustafsen Lake standoff.
