WET’SUWET’EN people are once again in control of Wet’suwet’en yintah! Dinï ze’ Woos asserts jurisdiction by enforcing our laws with the 2021 Evacuation Order. The Morice River FSR has been disabled, blocking trespassers from our yintah!

CGL was given 8 hours to evacuate their worksites and after asking for an extension of two hours to get their workers out safely, CGL chose to keep their workers in the territory. They blockaded the road with trucks and heavy machinery on a bridge near what is known as Camp 9A.

Community members and supporters gathered at the 39km marker today and everyone on the yintah is safe and secure, effectively stopping all work within Cas Yikh territory!

URGENT UPDATE - Dozens of RCMP have deployed onto Wet'suwet'en territory

A charter plane full of RCMP have landed at the Smithers airport, with between 30 and 50 officers equipped with camo duffel bags.

(THREAD)

Police loaded onto two buses and unmarked, rental pick-up trucks and headed out towards the yintah. An RCMP helicopter is reported to be heading to the area.

Throughout today, helicopters have circled over our camps, conducting low, deliberate flights for surveillance.

The road into our yintah remains blocked by RCMP at 28km, with hereditary chiefs, food, and medical supplies being turned away.

PRESS RELEASE: #Wetsuweten Cabin Destroyed By Arsonists

On Saturday August 15 2020, a cabin belonging to Gidimt'en Chief Gisday’wa was burned to the ground by unknown arsonists.

The arson took place two days after the Houston Today newspaper ran a front page story which included photographs of Gisday’wa’s cabins, and falsely claimed that his structures had been “left behind” with “no apparent recent use.”

“This just reminds me of the first time that white people came. They kicked our families out of their territory and then they burnt all their huts and everything else, and put them on their so-called reserves. This is what this reminds me of,” stated Fred Tom, Chief Gisday’wa.

CALL TO ACTION. Call for ALL work to stop - as the Hereditary Chiefs have said “NOPIPELINES”. Yet, there it is: 48” pipe

@bcrcmp

The permits are NOT approved. They were supposed to only do “preliminary work”... however, CGL has been escorted in by @bcrcmp every day. Escorted in to destroy our unceded territories

When we stand up - mass forces are brought in, and guns pointed at us. There is little to no communication - and we have seen the misinformation being released
