We're just doing some surveying[br]at two creeks here
0:00:26.011,0:00:28.496
I was told to give you a card[br]If you guys show up
0:00:28.999,0:00:31.369
Coastal Gaslink, TransCanada
0:00:31.624,0:00:34.789
You know you guys don't have permission[br]be here right?
0:00:34.962,0:00:37.049
I'm not aware of anything. [br]I'm just here as safety.
0:00:37.148,0:00:40.447
This is traditional... Unist'ot'en territory
0:00:40.537,0:00:42.635
If you would like us to leave,[br]we'll leave.
0:00:42.839,0:00:44.936
You know TransCanada has already[br]been warned right?
0:00:45.325,0:00:48.586
Equipment will be confiscated if[br]you guys return.

The pipelines are going to go right[br]through where the salmon spawn
0:01:21.767,0:01:26.386
And that's where we decided to put the[br]action camp.
0:01:26.386,0:01:31.229
Last year we put a cabin right smack in[br]the way of the pipeline so that
0:01:31.229,0:01:34.750
they would not go through[br]and we just recently
0:01:34.750,0:01:39.996
last year we fenced it off because we[br]saw ribbons in there for drill pads
0:01:39.996,0:01:44.764
for them to do test drills so they could[br]drill a pipe right under the river
0:01:45.986,0:01:48.612
We've been hearing all the media[br]of all these pipes breaking
0:01:48.612,0:01:50.455
and waterways getting damaged
0:01:50.455,0:01:53.956
and we're just not going to[br]accept that risk
0:01:54.829,0:01:59.774
cause we don't want to be 25 years[br]10 years down the road telling our kids
0:01:59.774,0:02:02.939
oh we used to hunt moose here[br]and we used to fish.
0:02:03.611,0:02:06.771
We've never ceded or surrendered our land[br]to anybody here.
0:02:06.771,0:02:07.831
There's no treaty.
0:02:08.526,0:02:11.520
There's no relationship built with [br]any government in the past.
0:02:12.105,0:02:15.274
None of our people signed anything[br]to let them make decisions on our territory
0:02:15.594,0:02:17.749
Heavy trucks rolling by
0:02:23.989,0:02:27.269
Tomorrow morning at 3, we may see some [br]trucks attempting to get through
0:02:27.346,0:02:30.502
to log the right of way. And we're [br]going to have to differentiate them.
0:02:30.502,0:02:33.494
So we're going to go through all[br]the peaceful avenues we can
0:02:35.164,0:02:38.034
But the way of the warrior is you go [br]through and expend all peaceful
0:02:38.153,0:02:42.153
avenues first. And when all those fail,[br]it's war.
0:02:43.240,0:02:45.322
And that is the way of the warrior.

0:03:35.209,0:03:40.256
We're worried we put this cabin right in [br]route of the PTP and Enbridge pipeline
0:03:40.794,0:03:44.283
The GPS route, that's where this cabin[br]sits now and they have now since
0:03:44.802,0:03:49.886
moved it upstream about 5 kilometers?
0:03:50.062,0:03:53.048
It's a half a kilometer to two kilometers[br]away.
0:03:53.282,0:03:57.766
By way of them actually mending their project [br]and changing the location of their crossing
0:03:57.766,0:04:00.688
We decided to start building more infrastructure[br]in their way again.
0:04:01.491,0:04:06.143
So we did a call for people come out and[br]assist us in the construction of a pit house
0:04:06.533,0:04:10.454
And a pit house went directly in the path[br]of the Pacific Trails Pipeline
0:04:11.149,0:04:15.605
deliberately because the Pacific Trails was[br]farther along than the rest of the pipelines
0:04:15.975,0:04:17.834
In their permitting processes.

This is the blockader's dream!
0:04:28.827,0:04:30.853
Those have been doing this for awhile,
0:04:31.313,0:04:35.001
Yeah some people build platforms,[br]and sleeping dragons.
0:04:35.840,0:04:37.906
I built a whole fuckin hah ha ha
0:04:38.503,0:04:40.198
I built a blockade!!!
0:04:41.196,0:04:44.074
It's not just a blockade.[br]It's also a real dwelling.
0:04:44.686,0:04:50.357
This is a part of the decolonization [br]and returning to the land
0:04:50.857,0:04:54.308
and returning to the old ways[br]that ... talk about all the time.
0:05:00.228,0:05:02.875
But you still have to nail something[br]to hold that together right?
0:05:05.235,0:05:06.892
laughing
0:05:07.326,0:05:11.184
We've been living here for two years[br]and we've already been brought up culturally
0:05:11.184,0:05:13.738
... and I are both culturally brought up[br]and we are living culturally now
0:05:13.738,0:05:21.278
We get all our own meats and gather our[br]own berries, and make sure we put away
0:05:21.278,0:05:24.364
enough food to last us the whole winter[br]and this year I put away 100 fish
0:05:24.364,0:05:26.193
So I jarred all that salmon
0:05:26.193,0:05:32.399
We've got sweet potato, moose head-cheese[br]ribs, deer meat, some goat meat,
0:05:32.399,0:05:35.272
a lot of salmon, some groundhog,
0:05:35.272,0:05:39.519
Berries that we got last season.[br]Huckleberries, a lot of jams
0:05:41.882,0:05:44.823
This all is in case they do block us[br]because there have been threats
0:05:45.087,0:05:47.273
that they will block us from the other end
0:05:47.871,0:05:49.931
That's why we're preparing food.
0:05:50.406,0:05:52.823
We have food cached all over the territory
0:05:53.117,0:05:57.085
Our people have had enough and we're[br]not just going to stand here and
0:05:57.085,0:06:00.669
take the bullying and take it [br]without a fight.
0:06:01.459,0:06:05.158
We've had enough of these spoiled brats[br]stealing off our lands and
0:06:05.723,0:06:10.437
not accepting no for an answer and [br]we're gonna be the stern parent and
0:06:10.437,0:06:12.665
Say no, you're not coming in.
0:06:17.120,0:06:21.343
moose call
0:06:28.985,0:06:33.562
Could be TransCanada cause they're the ones[br]that didn't submit their route through here yet
0:06:34.625,0:06:39.208
But I know Enbridge has wanted to come in here[br]Pacific Trails is on this side.
0:06:39.946,0:06:44.306
We didn't know where TransCanada wanted to go[br]so this probably TransCanada coming back in
0:06:47.857,0:06:51.247
They did put steaks in here before and we[br]ripped them all out a couple years ago.
0:06:51.577,0:06:54.307
About three years ago, we came out and [br]tore them all out.
0:06:54.687,0:06:58.501
But this whole area between here and [br]the truck, that valley, that's where
0:06:58.607,0:07:01.098
they want to run all the pipelines through
0:07:01.211,0:07:03.470
There's no freakin way we're gonna let any[br]of those guys through.
0:07:49.758,0:07:52.936
So what if we told you that the federal [br]government doesn't have jurisdiction
0:07:52.936,0:07:54.600
on our territory?
0:07:54.600,0:07:57.543
50% of your proposed project is on [br]Wet'suwet'en territory.
0:07:57.543,0:08:00.860
And all the hereditary chiefs have said[br]100% no to this project.
0:08:00.879,0:08:01.600
We...
0:08:01.743,0:08:03.263
We have the final say.[br]Not the federal government.
0:08:03.263,0:08:04.902
Not the provincial government.
0:08:05.492,0:08:11.740
Well uh. We... I... I hear what you're saying[br]umm and we're following like I said
0:08:11.969,0:08:17.018
the regulatory process that we have[br]in front of us and we can talk to you
0:08:17.552,0:08:21.102
about some of the conditions that [br]include environmental monitoring
0:08:21.505,0:08:27.907
and a lot of surveys. umm environmental [br]surveys and we can talk to you about that...
0:08:28.448,0:08:31.188
And what if we told you we know that's[br]bullshit and it doesn't work?
0:08:31.311,0:08:33.708
You look at the state of our whole planet[br]What it's in and
0:08:34.166,0:08:36.291
All our water is being destroyed[br]the air is destroyed
0:08:36.728,0:08:38.443
all the trees are being destroyed.
0:08:38.671,0:08:43.124
You can't continue to bulldoze[br]over my people.
0:08:44.049,0:08:46.247
Our lands. Our final say.
0:08:46.713,0:08:49.621
No pipelines will be coming on our land.
