It is with immensely heavy hearts that we share the news Dinï ze’ Madeek, Jeff Brown, was sung into the spirit world last night, surrounded by family and loved ones.

Madeek was unwavering in his support, his responsibilities and passion for defending the yintah.
1/

He did the work of three Dinî ze’ when two of the house names were vacant and carried the entire Gidimt’en clan until those names were lifted by the current Woos and Gisdewe.
2/

He was committed to our system of governance and will be taken care of as his highly respected name requires by his house members, clan and nation. This is a huge loss for our community.

"...a prime objective of this collaboration was removing barriers to the production of fossil fuels....as political momentum began building in 2016 for Canada to implement the UN declaration, this “concerned the team” at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute...

...That was because the UN declaration contains a clause stating that Indigenous peoples have the right to give “Free, Prior and Informed Consent” before governments make decisions that could have a large material impact on their traditional territories...

...Some legal experts see this as a reasonable way to ensure that Indigenous communities are equal partners in decision-making...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Unceded Wet’suwet’en Yintah (Smithers - BC) –

Gidimt’en Checkpoint response to NDP Attorney General issuing criminal charges to four additional land defenders

(THREAD)

2/Today, under the leadership of NDP Attorney General David Eby, the crown prosecutor criminally charged four land defenders, including Gidimt'en spokesperson Sleydo' Molly Wickham, for breach of an injunction granted to Coastal Gas Link (CGL).

3/The injunction restrains land defenders from accessing their unceded territory.

The Crown declined to charge six others with criminal counts. In court, the Crown acknowledged the RCMP had not properly read the injunction to those present on site...

Press Release 🧵: #Wetsuweten Members Sue Police, Coastal Gaslink and Private Security for Targeted Harassment Campaign

Read below, or on yintahaccess.com

Photo: June 22 - A Wet'suwet'en member approaches RCMP & private security as they idle at Gidimt'en checkpoint.

1. Members of the Gidimt’en Clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation have filed a notice of civil claim against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, B.C.’s Minister of Justice, Coastal Gaslink Pipeline LTD., and private security contractor Forsythe.

2. The lawsuit follows months of targeted harassment and intimidation, through which hundreds of police and private security personnel have attempted to coerce Wet’suwet’en people into abandoning homes and village sites on unceded Wet’suwet’en territory.

1/ Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we want to bring everyone’s attention to the yintah. On a day when many politicians will be out showing their faces at events meant to celebrate our culture they only subscribe to when it serves them.

2/ They do not want to acknowledge and follow the laws of our land. Laws that have been in place since time immemorial. Laws that restrict their access to our territories and resources. No, they just want to see us dance and sing and go home quietly.

3/ The destruction of Wet’suwet’en yintah and the imminent threat to Wedzin Kwa is not what they want to discuss. But this is our reality. One year after the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act became LAW we are still fighting.

1/On April 13, 2022 twenty seven land defenders arrested in the fall and into winter of 2021 on Wet’suwet’en territory appeared virtually before Justice Church. Coastal Gaslink’s lawyer, Kevin O’Callaghan, recommended that the charges be criminal contempt, and not civil contempt.

2/...this would mean that the land defenders arrested during the Coyote Camp occupation at the drill pad site and the Likhts’amisyu Chief arrested on his own territory would face criminal charges.

We need to make David Eby aware that CGL, the CIRG, and RCMP...

3/...are abusing the intent of the court injunction to violently and illegally criminalize sovereign Wet’suwet’en people in an attempt to push through an industrial project that does not have the consent of the true title holders to the land.
