Chiefs from across BC Standing with Wet'suwet'en



BC Hereditary Chiefs Stand Together with Wet'suwet'en


HEAL THE PEOPLE - DEFEND THE LAND

Historic Gathering With Chiefs Across BC Standing With Wet'suwet'en

Chiefs from the B.C. coast, Interior and Northwest converged in Smithers this week show support for the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs’ opposition to the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline. Over 200 packed the Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre in Smithers to hear from the Chiefs, and Unist’ot’en and Gitdumden members.


"You are in charge of your land, make no mistake about it. We are in charge of our land. And at times, we need to rely on each other for support," said Murray Smith from Lax Kw'alaams near Prince Rupert.

"Reconciliation cannot be done at the end of a gun," said Wayne Christian, a chief from the Secwepemc nation.

"Today's show of support from our neighbours and allies proves the Wet'suwet'en do not stand alone. "We the hereditary chiefs are the title holders and maintain authority and jurisdiction to make decisions on our unceded lands," said Wet'suwet'en hereditary chief Na'Moks.

You can watch a video of the press conference HERE.

One of our most successful years ever!

NationBuilder r1

Dear Paov

As we reflect on 2018, we’re reminded of all we can accomplish when we work together.

Together we made huge progress on health care issues that matter most in the lives of British Columbians. Thank you!

In 2019, we need to continue to vigorously defend public health care by standing up to Brian Day in court and provide solutions that will ensure BC’s health care system works for everyone–not just a privileged few.

We need your help to make sure all this crucial work continues.
