Pokemon Go Stop on Sacred Burial Site
PRINCE GEORGE B.C. - Pokemon Go players are searching the sacred Lheidli T'enneh burial ground for Pokemon monsters. Kym Gouchie (Lheidli T'enneh) who's ancestors are buried at the site was paying respects at her father's gravesite Sunday when she noticed dozens of Pokemon Go players search the sacred First Nations burial ground. This game has only been live in Canada for one week. It's only a matter of time before it is filled with Pokemon Go people. She has submitted a request to the game developers to have the Pokestop removed.
