Educate yourself before speaking. You've been duped. Stand with the real Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs. Not these imposters. The real Wet'suwet'en are in favour of building the pipeline as many native companies have contracts and could be putting many natives to work if not for these illegal wannabe hereditary chiefs. They have not followed Wet'suwet'en Traditional Laws and are NOT rightful chiefs.
@Eamon O'Connell Planet will be fine no matter what humanity does to it. The planet has survived many disasters, including large meteorite impacts, yet life recovered. What is at risk are the lives living on the Earth at this instant in time, our included. If we fell every tree, poison freshwater, pollute the soil with toxic metals etc. we will be the ones to suffer. Humanity will suffer, decline and diminish, possibly even go extinct. Then over the course of hundreds or thousands of years, the forests will regrow, the rivers will recover, our pollution will be buried and all that will be left of humanity is a thin layer of plastic in the fossil record. Humanities legacy would be one of rapid growth and destruction, a failed experiment of evolution. Is this what we want our legacy to be? The only hope for humanity is for us to live in harmony with the Earth, to live in a sustainable fashion. Which future do you think this project is directing us towards?
@@timbucktoo6633 The Hereditary Chiefs just released a statement through their spokesperson, saying the exact opposite of what you claim, their position is that they are opposed to having the pipeline put through, and any pipelines for that matter. Watch the video yourself! ruclips.net/video/y0vOg72mhaE/видео.html
I am non-indigenous Canadian. This makes me angry and sad. I'm ashamed of the actions of my own government. I had honestly thought/hoped we might have been able to turn a corner on indigenous rights and more importantly respect to our first nations people. But again, I see that its nothing but empty words. The Dollar still outweighs all rights and laws. Where there is money to be made, they will do anything/everything to get at it. Killing the land, uprooting people and destroying communities. The Red dresses with the white snow in the background were a hauntingly beautiful reminder of the MMIWG. Thank you to the Wet'suwet'en people and the people of the Unist'ot'en camp for standing up for YOUR rights and for what is RIGHT! And I want to say thank you again for being respectful even when you were not shown respect by being non-violent. Stay strong and free, and show us a better way.
Hayden Wolf what is the law? Why does the white man get to dictate that? Especially when native land was forcefully taken out of their hands, their women are treated like trash by man camps, and their environmental resources are threatened by these corporations. Law is only used to get the government what it wants. These people do not consent and that is what matters. Stop being a sheep and look into the history of federal Indian law. You’re clueless if you don’t.
To me this more serious than indigenous vs. non-indigenous, this is about the suppression of those that dissent. Judges issuing injunctions and police enforcing them against the will of the people is just plain wrong. Force should never be used in a civil society to advance the social or economic agenda of big business. It is a complex issue and it will take a long time to be addressed, but i am afraid that if these types of actions continue the ruling will lose all respect and this country will become ungovernable. The system of representative democracy that served us so well in the past seems to have stopped working, maybe the time for direct democracy has arrived. Have a referendum on this pipeline, the elected chiefs clearly do not represent the will of the band members, so let”s have a direct vote by all band members for or against the pipeline.
The world must stand behind the Wet'suwet'en. This land is theirs alone. The Canadian legacy of injustice against Indigenous peoples has continued far too long and should never have begun in the first place. We owe it to them to listen. Only they can show us the way forward. They are our teachers. RCMP go home please.

@Eamon O'Connell .. they should be thankful to white people that they weren't slaughtered out of existence by other white people? Wow, what a great way to put the situation. I guess we should also thank police officers for not shooting every non-white person in sight, every day of the week. People with a mindset like you are the same type of person to defend a rapist.
@@whitestone2016 I don't think the media is reporting on this accurately. Watch what the spokesperson for them says about it. ruclips.net/video/y0vOg72mhaE/видео.html
These RCMP wouldn't invade a church during mass and arrest the celebrants. When will they learn you cannot drink oil, nor eat tar sand? Utterly disrespectful. May these events haunt these RCMP's dreams.
Just a point of clarification the pipeline is for LNG, which is intended to replace coal power plants in Asia. It is not for carrying oil, or bitumen. However yes it IS still a fossil fuel (albeit better than coal) but it is still a fossil fuel
Why wish suffering against others? The RCMP believe that they are doing the right thing because they have been thoroughly informed that on the Canadian Law is in practice and the Unist’ot’en Law doesn't even exist or is not at all valid. They are trying to do their best work by following the law that they have been trained to enforce. I do not believe that there is a need to wish for this individuals to suffer.
@@currently7886 The long and short of it is: Canada made a treaty with the Unist'ot'en. Like the US, they don't live up to their own promises. Unist'ot'en law is valid on Unist'ot'en land (look up what "unceded" means). Saying it isn't is like saying Irish law is not valid in Ireland. Total bogus. On top of that... The RCMP inflict suffering on others right there in the video. They've got their heads in the sands and deliberately remain uninformed on the issues around them. They're exceptionally disrespectful of the MMIW memorial in this video (and I've seen other instances of it too), which is especially galling since they do so little to mitigate in that area, and are helping to compound the tragedy of MMIW by enabling a man camp (man camps coincide with indigenous women going missing and ending up murdered in their vicinity).
@@doobat708 Canada has never made a treaty with the Unist’ot’en, nor has BC as when BC came into confederation it did not recognize any Indigenous land title. Unist’ot’en Law is only valid for those who believe in its validity. The RCMP believe that the Canadian Law is the real law and that the Unist’ot’en does not apply, so according to the RCMP they are acting within the law. My original comment was just about the suffering wished upon another human though their dreams being haunted when they do not know how what they are doing can be considered wrong. The do not consider it wrong, because they do not accept the Unist’ot’en Law, all because the federal and provincial governments to not accept Unist’ot’en law. John Horgan even said that the "emerging hereditary chiefs" would need to be worked into the accepted understanding of the land ownership. So, he was saying that the proper was is not the Unist’ot’en Law, but rather the Canadian Law and the Indian act. This again points to RCMP not knowing what the Unist’ot’en Law is, or rather not acknowledging it because their whole lives have been dominated by other systems of government and laws which they are certain to be the only law that exists. "Irish law" is not valid in Canada. To the RCMP the Unist’ot’en could be following Irish law all day long, and it wouldn't matter, because in Canada and in BC they are under the impression that only the Canadian and British Columbian laws exist.
@@currently7886 As to the Canadian claim on Wet'suwet'en territories, watch ruclips.net/video/rr9_t2pymcI/видео.html by an unvolved third party. I think you're being too kind to the RCMP. They know what systemic issues they are part of. They know their own history with regards to MMIW. They decide to ignore it. Oh my fcken gods, are you deliberately misinterpreting my comparisson re: Irish law?
Shame on the RCMP. They forget they have children who will need clean drinking water and real food in their lifetime. The CGL will destroy it all. The colonialists forget they too are human, like the aboriginals. We are all ONE.
You do know this pipeline is for natural gas. Natural gas is lighter then air so if the pipe springs a leak it will not harm drinking water. The pipeline is going under ground so when it is done the land will re-grow all the plants. The natural gas from this pipeline is getting sent to power plants that are burning coal. If you want less pollution then you want this pipeline. The people blocking this pipeline should have been arrested last year.

@@timbucktoo6633 where have you heard that these chiefs are imposters or that the majority of Wet'suwet'en people oppose them? And even if that were the case, why is it any reason to support the further degradation of their land for the profits of the fossil fuel industry?
They claim that they are within the jurisdiction as it is within BC and Canada, thus the governments claims overlap. Both parties do not think they are in the wrong, shouting that one of the two parties does not have jurisdiction will not make it so.
@@currently7886 there is no overlapping claim. Delgamuukw v. The Crown establishes that Wet'suwet'en title was NEVER extinguished. Thus, it is their sovereign territory. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 stipulates that unless territory is ceded under the treaty process it remains the sovereign territory of the nation who lives there. Under the parameters of Canadian and B.C law this entire raid is illegal. The injunction has no more legality in Wet'suwet'en than it would in the USA or Belgium or any other foreign nation. Injunctions are nothing more than a legal move to buy time and devastate a foe financially. You physically remove the people from the land, you build while they are not there, and then by the time the courts have proven the lack of validity of the injunction the project is finished, the victims have racked up thousands in legal fees, and everyone has been put through the wringer of jail and courts.
It they weren’t, they made it obviously clear that they were not welcome and they trespassed and the community didn’t sign any papers and treaty’s, they l have no right to be there

It's not just Trudeau, this has been an on going issue long before Trudeau. This is not new, nor is it just one political party. It has happened regardless of party affiliation. It's corporate greed that shoves money into the politicians party coffers. Corporations are neutral and will donate to ANY political party that will help them get legislation's passed that benefit them before the people.
I shared this point of view to a few Reddit subs. Good luck with your charter rights and convictions, hopefully the nice buildings or people were not smashed.

I see your loss, your disenfranchisement, and feel as this is coming for all of us, everywhere.

A country must be governed with the consent of the people. When judges issue injunctions that the people do not support and police enforce them, the country is turned into chaos. Judges and police believe that it is not their job to do the will of the people, after all both judges and police are unelected bureaucrats. But make no mistake this is a clear flaw in our system of government that over the next few years or decades will be corrected through better legislation, the current system is plain clear that is working no longer where police and judges use force to rule over the people. Don”t get me wrong when a crime such as assault, robbery, or murder is committed the police and the justice system have the full support of all Canadians, however when force is used to implement a social or economic agenda that the people do not support it is a whole different scenario and it highlights some serious deficiencies in Canada”s democratic system that hopefully will be addressed through legislation. It is patently clear that when injunctions and police enforcement are unpopular, the system has failed, the wishes of the people are not being respected.
@Ryan Ruegsegger All I was saying is that this country must be governed with the consent of the governed. The judges and the police are totally out of control, I hope that both people on the right and the left can agree on this. And when we see police repression, we must say so, because if they are doing this to this native community and supporters imagine what they would do to us. The prisons are filled with native and non-native people that have never committed a violent crime. We have given too much power to these people, time to get it back. And it is not just in issues like this, they are interfering with everything and everybody including telling parents how to raise their children, we have a dictatorial police state, call it communism or fascism I don't care.
Karma will always be with us and non indigenous peoples can shove their laws where the sun doesn't shine. Trudeau must resign he's a disgrace just like this whole "system". We are beautiful, resilient, and strong people who are proud to be Ts'imshian, Wet'suwet'en, Gitxsan etc etc etc. I will always stand up for our inherent rights!
#NATIVEAMERICANLIVESMATTER How can we help? I'm tired of hearing ppl wanting a difference, I reside in California but I want to help in any way I can. I know if the people unite , we will make a huge impact, we MUST UNITE BROTHERS AND SISTERS !!!!!!!!
SAYS RIGHT IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF VIDEO "WHEN RCMP ARRIVED TO FORCE PIPELINE ACROSS UNCEDED UNIST'OT'EN TERRITORY" IS FREE ADMISSION OF THEIR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY...THE CROWN, CANADA, BC, THE COURTS, THE RCMP ALL DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION ON UNCEDED LAND/TERRITORY, "ALL LAND WOULD BE CONSIDERED ABORIGINAL LAND UNTIL CEDED BY TREATY"...
Force should never be used against Canadians unless somebody committed murder, fraud, assault, robbery etc. You get the point unless somebody commits a violent crime against a person or property force should never be used. Maybe this will require massive re-education of judges that issue injunctions and police, maybe it will require new legislation in parliament. But this bullshit of police using force to implement the economic agenda of the rich must stop, and if we had competent judges and parliamentarians we would not be where we are where people are resisting lawful but unjust and unpopular actions from the police. There is clearly injustice committed here, but the perpetrator is the government itself, so the actions taken but the RCMP are lawful yet unjust. This whole thing is a disgrace and it will take time to address.
seeing this just shows the government are treating the natives just like they did in the residential school but in a smaller scale but still the government does not give a crap about them this really sucks
Support for wetsuweten from ontario. 💕 Canada looks shameful in the world. The whole world is choosing your way👍 i💓tribalism for everyone in every country.
Hi I am a Canadian and I would like to know more about this situation to form an understanding. From what I understand, the elected officials of the region have consented to the building and construction of the pipeline to encourage economic growth and prosperity in the region. But the hereditary chiefs are the ones who oppose it. What gives the hereditary chiefs a greater say over the democratically elected leaders of the tribe? And secondly, is the land formally considered a part of Canada? If it is, then unless if the property is privately owned, I don't see the illegality of building a pipeline in the region. If it isn't a part of Canada, why are they receiving govt funding from Canada for social services? That is a waste of money on Canada's part especially if it is going to people who don't consider themselves Canadians. My solution to this is, if the tribe doesn't want the pipeline to be built, we formally consider them to be non Canadians and remove all federal funding from the region.
It’s a dispute over who gets a say. Wether democratically elected representatives of the tribe or the hereditary chiefs. I think that’s the biggest misunderstanding. 3 women hereditary chiefs were also replaced because they supported the pipeline. They were replaced with men who agreed with the other hereditary chiefs. There’s a lot of corruption on both sides.
Whether their claims ar real or not remains to be seen. There has been foreign money invested here. to cause mayhem. These are diffrent folk that were there a few weeks ago. Sure creates a stir. Enjoy the show.
This tribe was given sovereign power over their land in a Treaty.. Now they are being forced to allow potentially dangerous industry to access their lands and destroy their environment
The Wet'suwet'en have already signed a contract to let the LNG pipeline be put in. There's one family from Witset claiming to be chiefs that are trying to get there own separate piece of the pie. Educate yourself about what's really going on before you comment. No homes are getting destroyed. No natives live out there. They built cabins specifically for the protest in strategic places. They all traveled out there on forestry rds and Bridges that forestry installed. I work in the forestry industry and see it first hand. Most of those protestors are not locals. I'm not one for oil pipelines, but this natural gas pipeline is very safe for the environment. It's a final product ready to be sold. For now we are still dependent on petroleum products until other technologies improve.
I'm also in support of them not tearing down there healing center. They put a lot of work into it and I hope it still gets use after everything gets resolved.
@@billk8874 There is an interesting article today in the Globe and Mail where those hereditary chiefs not in favour of the blockade are speaking out. They said that it isn't in their culture to speak out like this but they feel that those opposed have hijacked the issue.
@@rickrayn exactly, just because somebody is an elected official is meaningless. There are lots of corrupt elected officials, specially when large commercial projects are involved there could be bribes or financial promises made. Best way of getting this resolved is to have a vote by all band members. And I am shocked the elected officials before taking on a position for or against it did not call a vote. This is too much of an important issue to be decided without a vote of all ban members. And this is why we are seeing these protests.
I think you should tear the bridge down,build a walking rope bridge just like the rope bridges in South America, and get huskies about thirty of them and teach them to protect the area, ask the Bigfoot for help. Land is continuing to be taken, it is time to fight back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Do you want a name for this world? A solution for all its riddles? This world is the will to power--and nothing besides! And you yourselves are also this will to power--and nothing besides!”

its time to take back our land in bc unceded territory no treaties what makes u think you own it we been here over 12000 yrs and look what you done to us in 150yrs we are sick of it
The bones and flint works of Europeans aka the first Americans are found all over North America, 30,000 years ago. Asians invaded 12,000 years ago as you admit and it took awhile for the reinforcements to arrive. Arrive they did in 1492 and they took their land back. Canada belongs to the Aboriginals ... That means the first people, the Clovis Europeans.
No trespass here just another protest after they lost in court. Laws will be enforced despite the emotion. When the pipeline is complete dont fool yourselves and think this band wont accept the royalties. Go back to court if you dont like the result. Simple as that. Commence the emotional overflow comments.
We have the power to stop this pipeline. Let's make it happen. Indigenous, poor farmers, and descendents of slaves just stopped 2 pipelines in my state of Virginia USA with support from white allies in the Sierra Club and law schools. Let us not be afraid.
I'm having trouble trying to reconcile what I just witnessed. You're telling me, you actively burned the Canadian flag, in front of the RCMP, in protest, and didn't get anything but a polite and respectful request to be arrested? Not a typical response at all. That said, you're telling me that the company that wants to put in the pipline and the people who own the land have an agreement on the pipeline, including jobs for the people who live on that land, and some people who live on that land don't want to pipeline. Do I have this correct so far? Well, if I agree to get a pool in my backyard but my son doesn't want a pool he's more than free to leave and find his own pool-less home.
D3 ClazClown “ The people who own the land” is the crux: Your metaphor switches the homeowner and the teenager, as hereditary Chiefs are more like the owner. How would you feel if your teenage son installed a pool that you didn’t want?
@@parentartisthealer I agree that's the crux, but who actually owns the land? I notice you've used the term "more like", but that doesn't mean "they are". If my son decided to attempt to get a pool I didn't want, I'd -prove- that I own the land, and tell the installer to take a hike.
Hard to watch people illegally on someone’s land. I guess if they’d just move they wouldn’t have to be arrested and removed. But that’s what happens to criminals that disobey court orders.
No, it means that they never gave up that land, and I'm pretty sure they've never signed a treaty with the crown either, like most bands in BC. That's my understanding anyway.
there are 3 sides to every story, there is so many entities involved in this I have come to the point of not knowing what is the truth and what is propaganda . It's been reported that buses from Illinois unloaded protesters at Niagara Falls to block the Rainbow Bridge from Canada to the US.Why are Americans coming to Canada to protest a Canadian issue. And why block the bridge ?I have heard there are professional protesters (thats how they make their living). I've heard the majority of the indigenous people (Wetsuweten) that the natural gas pipelines would effect , are pro pipeline, they want to have the ability to bring their families out of poverty. Much of all of this is so political. What is happening in this video is an atrocity ,the attempt to bring recognition to the mistreatment of tribal women has nothing to do with the pipeline, but it is unfortunately linked together in what seems to be an attempt to side against the pipelines. Pipelines are safer than rail transport. We need gas & oil , we live in a cold climate. As of now the only place we can sell our oil to is the U.S. at rock bottom prices , so it's to the U.S. advantage that we don't have pipelines. The Liberal government is Anti -oil but have just gave millions to Africa to invest in their oil manufacturing. So if this isn't political I don't know what is.
I am a non-indigenous Canadian, currently living in New Zealand. I've been watching closely over the past few weeks with angry eyes and now tears falling down my cheeks. I am SO ASHAMED today to be Canadian, because in my heart I know we are better. However, the treatment displayed here and the continuous disregard for these beautiful people and their land says otherwise. It disgusts me. Why can't we love, respect and honour our indigenous people as New Zealand loves theirs? The Maori people here and their culture are heavily respected. This is a sad and ugly day in Canadian history. RECONCILIATION IS DEAD

The Canadian legacy of injustice against Indigenous peoples has continued far too long and should never have begun in the first place. We owe it to them to listen. Only they can show us the way forward. They are our teachers. RCMP go home please.
And they are. The real Wetsuweten said on national TV yesterday they want the pipeline and they condem the imposters.

@Eamon O'Connell .. they should be thankful to white people that they weren't slaughtered out of existence by other white people? Wow, what a great way to put the situation. I guess we should also thank police officers for not shooting every non-white person in sight, every day of the week. People with a mindset like you are the same type of person to defend a rapist.

These RCMP wouldn't invade a church during mass and arrest the celebrants. When will they learn you cannot drink oil, nor eat tar sand? Utterly disrespectful. May these events haunt these RCMP's dreams.
Just a point of clarification the pipeline is for LNG, which is intended to replace coal power plants in Asia. It is not for carrying oil, or bitumen. However yes it IS still a fossil fuel (albeit better than coal) but it is still a fossil fuel
Why wish suffering against others? The RCMP believe that they are doing the right thing because they have been thoroughly informed that on the Canadian Law is in practice and the Unist’ot’en Law doesn't even exist or is not at all valid. They are trying to do their best work by following the law that they have been trained to enforce. I do not believe that there is a need to wish for this individuals to suffer.
@@currently7886
The long and short of it is: Canada made a treaty with the Unist'ot'en. Like the US, they don't live up to their own promises. Unist'ot'en law is valid on Unist'ot'en land (look up what "unceded" means). Saying it isn't is like saying Irish law is not valid in Ireland. Total bogus.
On top of that... The RCMP inflict suffering on others right there in the video. They've got their heads in the sands and deliberately remain uninformed on the issues around them. They're exceptionally disrespectful of the MMIW memorial in this video (and I've seen other instances of it too), which is especially galling since they do so little to mitigate in that area, and are helping to compound the tragedy of MMIW by enabling a man camp (man camps coincide with indigenous women going missing and ending up murdered in their vicinity).
@@doobat708
Canada has never made a treaty with the Unist’ot’en, nor has BC as when BC came into confederation it did not recognize any Indigenous land title.
Unist’ot’en Law is only valid for those who believe in its validity. The RCMP believe that the Canadian Law is the real law and that the Unist’ot’en does not apply, so according to the RCMP they are acting within the law.
My original comment was just about the suffering wished upon another human though their dreams being haunted when they do not know how what they are doing can be considered wrong. The do not consider it wrong, because they do not accept the Unist’ot’en Law, all because the federal and provincial governments to not accept Unist’ot’en law. John Horgan even said that the "emerging hereditary chiefs" would need to be worked into the accepted understanding of the land ownership. So, he was saying that the proper was is not the Unist’ot’en Law, but rather the Canadian Law and the Indian act. This again points to RCMP not knowing what the Unist’ot’en Law is, or rather not acknowledging it because their whole lives have been dominated by other systems of government and laws which they are certain to be the only law that exists.
"Irish law" is not valid in Canada. To the RCMP the Unist’ot’en could be following Irish law all day long, and it wouldn't matter, because in Canada and in BC they are under the impression that only the Canadian and British Columbian laws exist.
@@currently7886 As to the Canadian claim on Wet'suwet'en territories, watch ruclips.net/video/rr9_t2pymcI/видео.html by an unvolved third party.
I think you're being too kind to the RCMP. They know what systemic issues they are part of. They know their own history with regards to MMIW. They decide to ignore it.
Oh my fcken gods, are you deliberately misinterpreting my comparisson re: Irish law?
Shame on the RCMP. They forget they have children who will need clean drinking water and real food in their lifetime. The CGL will destroy it all. The colonialists forget they too are human, like the aboriginals. We are all ONE.
You do know this pipeline is for natural gas. Natural gas is lighter then air so if the pipe springs a leak it will not harm drinking water. The pipeline is going under ground so when it is done the land will re-grow all the plants. The natural gas from this pipeline is getting sent to power plants that are burning coal. If you want less pollution then you want this pipeline. The people blocking this pipeline should have been arrested last year.
We love you Freda, and all of the land defenders. You are brave and powerful. ❤

They claim that they are within the jurisdiction as it is within BC and Canada, thus the governments claims overlap. Both parties do not think they are in the wrong, shouting that one of the two parties does not have jurisdiction will not make it so.
@@currently7886 which BC and which Canada? That is an ambiguous statement without clarification
@@currently7886 there is no overlapping claim. Delgamuukw v. The Crown establishes that Wet'suwet'en title was NEVER extinguished. Thus, it is their sovereign territory. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 stipulates that unless territory is ceded under the treaty process it remains the sovereign territory of the nation who lives there. Under the parameters of Canadian and B.C law this entire raid is illegal. The injunction has no more legality in Wet'suwet'en than it would in the USA or Belgium or any other foreign nation. Injunctions are nothing more than a legal move to buy time and devastate a foe financially. You physically remove the people from the land, you build while they are not there, and then by the time the courts have proven the lack of validity of the injunction the project is finished, the victims have racked up thousands in legal fees, and everyone has been put through the wringer of jail and courts.

The whole world is a stage
A country must be governed with the consent of the people. When judges issue injunctions that the people do not support and police enforce them, the country is turned into chaos. Judges and police believe that it is not their job to do the will of the people, after all both judges and police are unelected bureaucrats. But make no mistake this is a clear flaw in our system of government that over the next few years or decades will be corrected through better legislation, the current system is plain clear that is working no longer where police and judges use force to rule over the people. Don”t get me wrong when a crime such as assault, robbery, or murder is committed the police and the justice system have the full support of all Canadians, however when force is used to implement a social or economic agenda that the people do not support it is a whole different scenario and it highlights some serious deficiencies in Canada”s democratic system that hopefully will be addressed through legislation. It is patently clear that when injunctions and police enforcement are unpopular, the system has failed, the wishes of the people are not being respected.
@Ryan Ruegsegger All I was saying is that this country must be governed with the consent of the governed. The judges and the police are totally out of control, I hope that both people on the right and the left can agree on this. And when we see police repression, we must say so, because if they are doing this to this native community and supporters imagine what they would do to us. The prisons are filled with native and non-native people that have never committed a violent crime. We have given too much power to these people, time to get it back. And it is not just in issues like this, they are interfering with everything and everybody including telling parents how to raise their children, we have a dictatorial police state, call it communism or fascism I don't care.

IT'S A SHAME WHAT I'M SEEING...
Jeff Divine, this is common practice in a occupying force, either police or military
What is, there is no comment chain
Force should never be used against Canadians unless somebody committed murder, fraud, assault, robbery etc. You get the point unless somebody commits a violent crime against a person or property force should never be used. Maybe this will require massive re-education of judges that issue injunctions and police, maybe it will require new legislation in parliament. But this bullshit of police using force to implement the economic agenda of the rich must stop, and if we had competent judges and parliamentarians we would not be where we are where people are resisting lawful but unjust and unpopular actions from the police. There is clearly injustice committed here, but the perpetrator is the government itself, so the actions taken but the RCMP are lawful yet unjust. This whole thing is a disgrace and it will take time to address.
seeing this just shows the government are treating the natives just like they did in the residential school but in a smaller scale but still the government does not give a crap about them this really sucks

Hi I am a Canadian and I would like to know more about this situation to form an understanding. From what I understand, the elected officials of the region have consented to the building and construction of the pipeline to encourage economic growth and prosperity in the region. But the hereditary chiefs are the ones who oppose it. What gives the hereditary chiefs a greater say over the democratically elected leaders of the tribe? And secondly, is the land formally considered a part of Canada? If it is, then unless if the property is privately owned, I don't see the illegality of building a pipeline in the region. If it isn't a part of Canada, why are they receiving govt funding from Canada for social services? That is a waste of money on Canada's part especially if it is going to people who don't consider themselves Canadians.
My solution to this is, if the tribe doesn't want the pipeline to be built, we formally consider them to be non Canadians and remove all federal funding from the region.
actually it is only five of the hereditary chiefs.
@@TheWolfsnack In fact it's not. ruclips.net/video/y0vOg72mhaE/видео.html
You won’t learn anything from the morons on RUclips
RationalLlama LOLLL
It’s a dispute over who gets a say. Wether democratically elected representatives of the tribe or the hereditary chiefs. I think that’s the biggest misunderstanding.
3 women hereditary chiefs were also replaced because they supported the pipeline. They were replaced with men who agreed with the other hereditary chiefs. There’s a lot of corruption on both sides.
Say the same me ay bullys never have a peacefull sleep for what they do.
Whether their claims ar real or not remains to be seen. There has been foreign money invested here. to cause mayhem. These are diffrent folk that were there a few weeks ago. Sure creates a stir. Enjoy the show.
This tribe was given sovereign power over their land in a Treaty.. Now they are being forced to allow potentially dangerous industry to access their lands and destroy their environment
The Wet'suwet'en have already signed a contract to let the LNG pipeline be put in. There's one family from Witset claiming to be chiefs that are trying to get there own separate piece of the pie. Educate yourself about what's really going on before you comment. No homes are getting destroyed. No natives live out there. They built cabins specifically for the protest in strategic places. They all traveled out there on forestry rds and Bridges that forestry installed. I work in the forestry industry and see it first hand. Most of those protestors are not locals. I'm not one for oil pipelines, but this natural gas pipeline is very safe for the environment. It's a final product ready to be sold. For now we are still dependent on petroleum products until other technologies improve.
I'm also in support of them not tearing down there healing center. They put a lot of work into it and I hope it still gets use after everything gets resolved.
The elected band officials are in favour. 8 of the hereditary chiefs are in favour with only 5 hereditary chiefs opposed so let it be built.
ruclips.net/video/y0vOg72mhaE/видео.html
They need to do a referendum on this. Elected officials seem to be totally corrup these days, let’s have all band members vote directly on the issue.
@@billk8874 There is an interesting article today in the Globe and Mail where those hereditary chiefs not in favour of the blockade are speaking out. They said that it isn't in their culture to speak out like this but they feel that those opposed have hijacked the issue.
@@rickrayn exactly, just because somebody is an elected official is meaningless. There are lots of corrupt elected officials, specially when large commercial projects are involved there could be bribes or financial promises made. Best way of getting this resolved is to have a vote by all band members. And I am shocked the elected officials before taking on a position for or against it did not call a vote. This is too much of an important issue to be decided without a vote of all ban members. And this is why we are seeing these protests.
This is important, the invaders need to leave.
I think you should tear the bridge down,build a walking rope bridge just like the rope bridges in South America, and get huskies about thirty of them and teach them to protect the area, ask the Bigfoot for help.

its time to take back our land in bc unceded territory no treaties what makes u think you own it we been here over 12000 yrs and look what you done to us in 150yrs we are sick of it
The bones and flint works of Europeans aka the first Americans are found all over North America, 30,000 years ago. Asians invaded 12,000 years ago as you admit and it took awhile for the reinforcements to arrive. Arrive they did in 1492 and they took their land back. Canada belongs to the Aboriginals ... That means the first people, the Clovis Europeans.
No trespass here just another protest after they lost in court. Laws will be enforced despite the emotion. When the pipeline is complete dont fool yourselves and think this band wont accept the royalties. Go back to court if you dont like the result. Simple as that. Commence the emotional overflow comments.
This is sad
What has really happened in the last 6 months ?
The same thing that happened when that golf course was built over First Nations land, remember that?
We have the power to stop this pipeline. Let's make it happen. Indigenous, poor farmers, and descendents of slaves just stopped 2 pipelines in my state of Virginia USA with support from white allies in the Sierra Club and law schools. Let us not be afraid.

I'm having trouble trying to reconcile what I just witnessed. You're telling me, you actively burned the Canadian flag, in front of the RCMP, in protest, and didn't get anything but a polite and respectful request to be arrested? Not a typical response at all. That said, you're telling me that the company that wants to put in the pipline and the people who own the land have an agreement on the pipeline, including jobs for the people who live on that land, and some people who live on that land don't want to pipeline. Do I have this correct so far? Well, if I agree to get a pool in my backyard but my son doesn't want a pool he's more than free to leave and find his own pool-less home.
D3 ClazClown “ The people who own the land” is the crux: Your metaphor switches the homeowner and the teenager, as hereditary Chiefs are more like the owner. How would you feel if your teenage son installed a pool that you didn’t want?
@@parentartisthealer I agree that's the crux, but who actually owns the land? I notice you've used the term "more like", but that doesn't mean "they are". If my son decided to attempt to get a pool I didn't want, I'd -prove- that I own the land, and tell the installer to take a hike.
Hard to watch people illegally on someone’s land. I guess if they’d just move they wouldn’t have to be arrested and removed. But that’s what happens to criminals that disobey court orders.

Does the term un-ceded land mean that the natives do not have a legitimate legal claim to the land?
No, it means that they never gave up that land, and I'm pretty sure they've never signed a treaty with the crown either, like most bands in BC. That's my understanding anyway.
there are 3 sides to every story, there is so many entities involved in this I have come to the point of not knowing what is the truth and what is propaganda . It's been reported that buses from Illinois unloaded protesters at Niagara Falls to block the Rainbow Bridge from Canada to the US.Why are Americans coming to Canada to protest a Canadian issue. And why block the bridge ?I have heard there are professional protesters (thats how they make their living). I've heard the majority of the indigenous people (Wetsuweten) that the natural gas pipelines would effect , are pro pipeline, they want to have the ability to bring their families out of poverty. Much of all of this is so political. What is happening in this video is an atrocity ,the attempt to bring recognition to the mistreatment of tribal women has nothing to do with the pipeline, but it is unfortunately linked together in what seems to be an attempt to side against the pipelines. Pipelines are safer than rail transport. We need gas & oil , we live in a cold climate. As of now the only place we can sell our oil to is the U.S. at rock bottom prices , so it's to the U.S. advantage that we don't have pipelines. The Liberal government is Anti -oil but have just gave millions to Africa to invest in their oil manufacturing. So if this isn't political I don't know what is.
