fb.watch/9xziPxFO8i/

We are so grateful for those who stand unified with the decisions of our dinï ze’ and tsakë ze’ who made a formal declaration in our bahlats multiple times.

This declaration has already resulted in the defeat of the Enbridge bitumen pipeline and WILL result in the defeat of fracked gas pipelines in our yintah as well.
Please note the views expressed here belong to individuals.

The Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs have publicly stated in the feast that there will be "NO pipelines in Wet'suwet'en yintah" and that position has not been changed within our governance system.

We kindly ask that all individuals, regardless of their point of view, speak to each other with Wigggus (respect).

For Wet'suwet'en wishing to share your solitary please post your videos with the hashtag #wetsuwetensaynopipelines #alloutforwedzinkwa #wetsuwetenstrong

For non-Wet'suwet'en allies wishing to share as well, please post your videos with the hashtag #wetsuwetenalliessaynopipelines #alloutforwedzinkwa #WetsuwetenStrong

Massih for your ongoing support and solidarity! Together we will stop all pipelines in Wet'suwet'en Yintah!

After a long day in court 10 Land Defenders and supporters arrested on Gidimt’en territory, including Sleydo’ and Jocelyn, remain in custody in so-called Prince George.
Court has been adjourned and will resume at 9am tomorrow.

Cody Merriman was released with conditions to reappear in court on Feb 14th, and to not return to the RCMP/CGL "exclusion area" except to travel through it to his residence.

Faced with this colonial conditional release, the decision was made to sign in order to take care of he and Sleydo's young children - and not in recognition of any wrong doing.

WARRIOR SISTER
Drill Site Pad Coyote Camp CAS YIKH Territory

November 19th 2021

Dini ze’ Woos’ daughter Jocelyn (Jocey) Alec was staying in the cabin on the drill site pad for over a month before RCMP invaded and ripped her from her fathers territory.

(THREAD 1/10)

She held her ground for as long as she could while two sniper RCMP pointed their guns at her. She still stood her ground.

“My Warrior Sister I have never been more proud of you the bravery you demonstrated in the face of guns pointed at you...

(2/10)

...You didn’t run when word of a convoy of 35+ heavily militarized RCMP, heavy machinery, police vans, K9-units, snipers, tactical teams, helicopters on their way to Coyote Camp and you knew they were coming for you…

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.

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.
