The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council restated their support for Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs on the West coast.

Across Turtle Island, Onkwehonwe have faced generations of colonial genocide perpetuated against our nations.

Our families have stood together in solidarity to protect our lands, waters and cultures, unity has been the strength of our success.

I'm proud to stand alongside my family to uphold our hereditary and inherent right to care for plants, animals, lands and waters in the ways that have been passed down to us for generations.

We must stand together for all those future generations of Onkwehonwe children who are relying on us to protect them. #LandBack #AllOutForWedzinKwa #WetsuwetenStrong

Onkwehonwe Nations have held onto our own laws and upheld our responsibility to care for the lands and waters. We've faced wars, residential schools, and MMIWG. Through our resistance to colonial violence, our languages, our laws and responsibilities have survived.

Today, Land Defenders and Water Protectors stand in the way of colonial development that exploits lands all for the profit of industry. This unwanted development poisons water, destroys the homes of animals, and kills plants, destroying the Creation our future generations need.

All of this colonial infrastructure maintains exploitation. Roads, highways and railways that crisscross our lands will not be used to inflict more violence on our people.
