Wet’suwet’en Resources in Manitoba

Archived since: Feb, 2020

Description:

The Wet’suwet’en Resources in Manitoba collection was created in an effort to preserve the news, blogs, social media, and controversy as it relates to Manitoba surrounding the Coastal GasLink pipeline proposing to go through the Wet’suwet’en Nation's territory. The Coastal GasLink pipeline is part of a $40 billion project that would move natural gas extracted from northeastern B.C. to the proposed LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, B.C., where the gas would be liquefied and shipped overseas. A large portion of the proposed 670-kilometre pipeline is slated to go through the Wet'suwet'en Nation's traditional territory — a route rejected by most of the nation's hereditary chiefs. The pipeline's owner, TC Energy, says it has signed agreements with all First Nations along the proposed route, but the hereditary leaders say those agreements don't apply to their territory because they have never historically ceded their territory. The Wet’suwet’en Nation lies about 300 kilometres west of Prince George, B.C. Wet'suwet'en members and supporters established checkpoints and camps to prevent Coastal GasLink workers from accessing the Nation's territory. TransCanada got an interim injunction from B.C. Supreme Court in December 2018 for access, which was enforced by RCMP in January 2019, when 14 people were arrested at the Gidimt'en camp. Protests were organized nationally and internationally in support of the Wet’suwet’en Nation.
