Yesterday I had the honor of bringing hereditary Chief Na’Moks of the Wet’suewet’en to visit my wife @katcoiro at work. She dressed him in his ceremonial garb. Please donate to the yintahaccess (link in bio). THE WORK HE IS DOING IS FOR ALL OF US AND FOR OUR CHILDREN. He and his people have been asserting their legal sovereignty and jurisdiction through our Hereditary Chiefs in opposition to pipelines that seek to destroy their yintah (territory). As winter is approaching they are in need of supplies for community members and allies. They are in a critical point of our fight as Coastal GasLink has started drilling underneath the sacred headwaters, Wedzin Kwa. Background: Gidimt'en is one of five clans of the Wet’suwet’en Nation. The creation of the Gidimt'en Camp was announced in the bahlats (feast hall), with the support of all chiefs present. The Gidimt’en Checkpoint is controlling access to Cas Yikh House territory within the larger Gidimt’en clan territory at 44.5 km on the Morice River FSR. The collective House Chiefs made the decision to support Gidimt’en Checkpoint December 14th, 2018. The five clans ratified the decision in a balhats (feast) in Witset on December 16th, 2018. On Friday, December 21st, a judge granted Coastal Gas Link an extension to their injunction against individuals at the Unist’ot’en Camp, applying it to all the forest service roads south of Houston. Gidimt'en Checkpoint was established on the road leading to the Unist’ot’en Camp. CGL’s lawyers have been arguing that the Unist’ot’en are essentially a rogue group without a rightful claim to aboriginal title. The Gidimt'en intervention shows that the Unist’ot’en are not alone, and that the hereditary chiefs are prepared to uphold Wet’suwet’en law by refusing to grant CGL consent to access the Yintah.
