To recap: meeting here is to talk about the interim injunction Coastal GasLink has received from the BC Supreme Court to go do pre-construction activities in the #Wetsuweten traditional territory. Hereditary chiefs are in ongoing convos with RCMP about enforcement
Now today Coastal GasLink is here to talk about next steps. Today could result in some kind of agreement for CGL to access the territory. Though none of this could be considered a permanent outcome
The injunction application isn't resolved in the courts. This is just an interim injunction. CGL said it needed access as soon as possible for pre-construction/so it could hit construction deadlines
The #Gidimten access point and camp has been emptied after the RCMP enforcement on Monday. But the checkpoint, now fortified, at #Unistoten remains in place.
The exclusion zone checkpoint set up by the RCMP on the logging road at km 27 remains in place for movement in the area remains restricted
And the RCMP have agreed there will not be a wave of enforcement at #Unistoten as long as these talks are taking place.
RCMP and Coastal GasLink peeps are still milling about in the lobby of the office of the #Wetsuweten. Hereditary chiefs are probs in some kind of pre-meeting. I saw Chief Namoks arrive earlier. Oh and then there is also a group of media huddled here. So the lobby is crowded
The woman at the front desk just told everyone there are #WetsuwetenStrong bracelets for sale at the front desk. So far no takers from the group here. 
Hereditary chiefs made clear yesterday that these meetings and possible agreement do not mean they consent to Coastal GasLink building a pipeline in their territory. Said this is about keeping people at #Unistoten safe and preventing a second enforcement like the one on Monday
