BC Public Safety Minister Bill Blair told the media today that RCMP are willing to "stand down" so dialogue can begin without speaking directly to the Hereditary Chiefs about the matter. RCMP harassment and intimidation has continued with full force since the raids and they have not made any actual movement towards leaving the territory.
Unist'ot'en is calling for supporters to come out to the front line. People who can stay at least two weeks and can take direction from Indigenous leadership are needed. Supporters who have never been to camp before are welcome.

Video Update From Wet'suwet'en Access Point on Gidemt'en Territory"RCMP continue to harass and arrest Wet'suwet'en people and their supporters on Wet'suwet'en territory. Earlier today, a supporter was getting much needed firewood for Gidimt'en camp when that person was threatened with arrest for getting firewood without a permit on 'crown land.' This person was asked for identification and registration of their vehicle.
Later, the same person was pulled over in the nearest community of Houston and the driver of the vehicle was accused of being an American citizen and arrested for not having entered into Canada with proper documentation. This came after the driver presented a valid Canadian drivers license to the officer. The driver of the vehicle was later released from the back of the RCMP vehicle after RCMP realized the person was actually a Canadian citizen.
Both of these cases are representative of the harassment, surveillance and continued terrorization of our territories by RCMP. The RCMP and their CISO (Community Industry Safety Office) have increased their presence on unceded Wet'suwet'en territories and continue to trespass and violate their own laws by stopping and harassing Gidimt'en people and their supporters while traveling on the yint'ah. Further, this harassment continues at the camps themselves as RCMP invade our homes in the night with flashlights and attempt to intimidate people.
RCMP have stated they will continue to patrol the area.
