Right now dozens of militarized police with assault rifles and dogs have
been deployed against unarmed Wet’suwet’en land defenders on unceded
Indigenous land. Here’s more on the ground video

have been made so far, while two Wet’suwet’en home sites remain in the path
of police violence, including the Unist’ot’en Healing Center founded in
2015. Watch this video

Background

January 5th, 2020 Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs representing all five
clans of the Wet'suwet'en Nation evicted Coastal GasLink (CGL)
<http://report.mnb.email/t.js?s=5e3cd7bf8cddd553131ea075&u=42585382&v=3&key=fb84&skey=61b446699b&url=https%3A%2F%2Funistoten.camp%2Fwetsuweten-hereditary-chiefs-evict-coastal-gaslink-from-territory%2F>
from
their territories. CGL does not have consent to construct their $6.6
billion fracked gas pipeline. CGL is trying to push through their project
on unceded Indigenous territories. "Under ‘Anuc niwh’it’en (Wet’suwet’en
law) all five clans of the Wet’suwet’en have unanimously opposed all
pipeline proposals
<http://report.mnb.email/t.js?s=5e3cd7bf8cddd553131ea075&u=42585384&v=3&key=d447&skey=61b446699b&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxA1dihXTjBU>
and
have not provided free, prior, and informed consent to Coastal
Gaslink/TransCanada to do work on Wet’suwet’en lands." The Royal Canadian
Mountain Police are invading the land to clear it of Indigenous land
defenders and their supporters so that CGL can continue work. Hereditary
Chief Dsta’hyl (Liksamisu Clan) said, “wet'suwet'en will enforce the
eviction of Coastal Gaslink with any means at their disposal.”
