Twitter rant incoming: I've been in #Wetsuweten territory for two weeks, covering what's happening. I've had dozens of conversations, incl. w/ many hereditary chiefs. It's factually inaccurate to say that the hereditary system is universally opposed. #bcpoli #cdnpoli 1/12 This is a *consensus-based participatory democracy*. That is the design of the feast hall system.

Hereditary chiefs are obliged to listen to their members, and when they fail to consult (by hosting feasts) they aren't justified in acting. #bcpoli #cdnpoli 2/12
