1
00:00:03,978 --> 00:00:13,518
suspenseful music
2
00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:24,882
We're just doing some surveying
at two creeks here
3
00:00:26,011 --> 00:00:28,496
I was told to give you a card
If you guys show up
4
00:00:28,999 --> 00:00:31,369
Coastal Gaslink, TransCanada
5
00:00:31,624 --> 00:00:34,789
You know you guys don't have permission
be here right?
6
00:00:34,962 --> 00:00:37,049
I'm not aware of anything.
I'm just here as safety.
7
00:00:37,148 --> 00:00:40,447
This is traditional... Unist'ot'en territory
8
00:00:40,537 --> 00:00:42,635
If you would like us to leave,
we'll leave.
9
00:00:42,839 --> 00:00:44,936
You know TransCanada has already
been warned right?
10
00:00:45,325 --> 00:00:48,586
Equipment will be confiscated if
you guys return.
11
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:57,094
singing
12
00:01:17,987 --> 00:01:21,767
The pipelines are going to go right
through where the salmon spawn
13
00:01:21,767 --> 00:01:26,386
And that's where we decided to put the
action camp.
14
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:31,229
Last year we put a cabin right smack in
the way of the pipeline so that
15
00:01:31,229 --> 00:01:34,750
they would not go through
and we just recently
16
00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:39,996
last year we fenced it off because we
saw ribbons in there for drill pads
17
00:01:39,996 --> 00:01:44,764
for them to do test drills so they could
drill a pipe right under the river
18
00:01:45,986 --> 00:01:48,612
We've been hearing all the media
of all these pipes breaking
19
00:01:48,612 --> 00:01:50,455
and waterways getting damaged
20
00:01:50,455 --> 00:01:53,956
and we're just not going to
accept that risk
21
00:01:54,829 --> 00:01:59,774
cause we don't want to be 25 years
10 years down the road telling our kids
22
00:01:59,774 --> 00:02:02,939
oh we used to hunt moose here
and we used to fish.
23
00:02:03,611 --> 00:02:06,771
We've never ceded or surrendered our land
to anybody here.
24
00:02:06,771 --> 00:02:07,831
There's no treaty.
25
00:02:08,526 --> 00:02:11,520
There's no relationship built with
any government in the past.
26
00:02:12,105 --> 00:02:15,274
None of our people signed anything
to let them make decisions on our territory
27
00:02:15,594 --> 00:02:17,749
Heavy trucks rolling by
28
00:02:23,989 --> 00:02:27,269
Tomorrow morning at 3, we may see some
trucks attempting to get through
29
00:02:27,346 --> 00:02:30,502
to log the right of way. And we're
going to have to differentiate them.
30
00:02:30,502 --> 00:02:33,494
So we're going to go through all
the peaceful avenues we can
31
00:02:35,164 --> 00:02:38,034
But the way of the warrior is you go
through and expend all peaceful
32
00:02:38,153 --> 00:02:42,153
avenues first. And when all those fail,
it's war.
33
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,322
And that is the way of the warrior.
34
00:02:45,322 --> 00:02:51,035
Drums
35
00:02:51,419 --> 00:02:57,946
Singing
36
00:03:20,226 --> 00:03:21,988
All this food in front of me.
37
00:03:31,362 --> 00:03:34,260
Wooden spoon tapping on a bowl
38
00:03:35,209 --> 00:03:40,256
We're worried we put this cabin right in
route of the PTP and Enbridge pipeline
39
00:03:40,794 --> 00:03:44,283
The GPS route, that's where this cabin
sits now and they have now since
40
00:03:44,802 --> 00:03:49,886
moved it upstream about 5 kilometers?
41
00:03:50,062 --> 00:03:53,048
It's a half a kilometer to two kilometers
away.
42
00:03:53,282 --> 00:03:57,766
By way of them actually mending their project
and changing the location of their crossing
43
00:03:57,766 --> 00:04:00,688
We decided to start building more infrastructure
in their way again.
44
00:04:01,491 --> 00:04:06,143
So we did a call for people come out and
assist us in the construction of a pit house
45
00:04:06,533 --> 00:04:10,454
And a pit house went directly in the path
of the Pacific Trails Pipeline
46
00:04:11,149 --> 00:04:15,605
deliberately because the Pacific Trails was
farther along than the rest of the pipelines
47
00:04:15,975 --> 00:04:17,834
In their permitting processes.
48
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:24,164
Chainsaw
49
00:04:26,394 --> 00:04:27,822
This is the blockader's dream!
50
00:04:28,827 --> 00:04:30,853
Those have been doing this for awhile,
51
00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:35,001
Yeah some people build platforms,
and sleeping dragons.
52
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,906
I built a whole fuckin hah ha ha
53
00:04:38,503 --> 00:04:40,198
I built a blockade!!!
54
00:04:41,196 --> 00:04:44,074
It's not just a blockade.
It's also a real dwelling.
55
00:04:44,686 --> 00:04:50,357
This is a part of the decolonization
and returning to the land
56
00:04:50,857 --> 00:04:54,308
and returning to the old ways
that ... talk about all the time.
57
00:05:00,228 --> 00:05:02,875
But you still have to nail something
to hold that together right?
58
00:05:05,235 --> 00:05:06,892
laughing
59
00:05:07,326 --> 00:05:11,184
We've been living here for two years
and we've already been brought up culturally
60
00:05:11,184 --> 00:05:13,738
... and I are both culturally brought up
and we are living culturally now
61
00:05:13,738 --> 00:05:21,278
We get all our own meats and gather our
own berries, and make sure we put away
62
00:05:21,278 --> 00:05:24,364
enough food to last us the whole winter
and this year I put away 100 fish
63
00:05:24,364 --> 00:05:26,193
So I jarred all that salmon
64
00:05:26,193 --> 00:05:32,399
We've got sweet potato, moose head-cheese
ribs, deer meat, some goat meat,
65
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:35,272
a lot of salmon, some groundhog,
66
00:05:35,272 --> 00:05:39,519
Berries that we got last season.
Huckleberries, a lot of jams
67
00:05:41,882 --> 00:05:44,823
This all is in case they do block us
because there have been threats
68
00:05:45,087 --> 00:05:47,273
that they will block us from the other end
69
00:05:47,871 --> 00:05:49,931
That's why we're preparing food.
70
00:05:50,406 --> 00:05:52,823
We have food cached all over the territory
71
00:05:53,117 --> 00:05:57,085
Our people have had enough and we're
not just going to stand here and
72
00:05:57,085 --> 00:06:00,669
take the bullying and take it
without a fight.
73
00:06:01,459 --> 00:06:05,158
We've had enough of these spoiled brats
stealing off our lands and
74
00:06:05,723 --> 00:06:10,437
not accepting no for an answer and
we're gonna be the stern parent and
75
00:06:10,437 --> 00:06:12,665
Say no, you're not coming in.
76
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,343
moose call
77
00:06:28,985 --> 00:06:33,562
Could be TransCanada cause they're the ones
that didn't submit their route through here yet
78
00:06:34,625 --> 00:06:39,208
But I know Enbridge has wanted to come in here
Pacific Trails is on this side.
79
00:06:39,946 --> 00:06:44,306
We didn't know where TransCanada wanted to go
so this probably TransCanada coming back in
80
00:06:47,857 --> 00:06:51,247
They did put steaks in here before and we
ripped them all out a couple years ago.
81
00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:54,307
About three years ago, we came out and
tore them all out.
82
00:06:54,687 --> 00:06:58,501
But this whole area between here and
the truck, that valley, that's where
83
00:06:58,607 --> 00:07:01,098
they want to run all the pipelines through
84
00:07:01,211 --> 00:07:03,470
There's no freakin way we're gonna let any
of those guys through.
85
00:07:49,758 --> 00:07:52,936
So what if we told you that the federal
government doesn't have jurisdiction
86
00:07:52,936 --> 00:07:54,600
on our territory?
87
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,543
50% of your proposed project is on
Wet'suwet'en territory.
88
00:07:57,543 --> 00:08:00,860
And all the hereditary chiefs have said
100% no to this project.
89
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:01,600
We...
90
00:08:01,743 --> 00:08:03,263
We have the final say.
Not the federal government.
91
00:08:03,263 --> 00:08:04,902
Not the provincial government.
92
00:08:05,492 --> 00:08:11,740
Well uh. We... I... I hear what you're saying
umm and we're following like I said
93
00:08:11,969 --> 00:08:17,018
the regulatory process that we have
in front of us and we can talk to you
94
00:08:17,552 --> 00:08:21,102
about some of the conditions that
include environmental monitoring
95
00:08:21,505 --> 00:08:27,907
and a lot of surveys. umm environmental
surveys and we can talk to you about that...
96
00:08:28,448 --> 00:08:31,188
And what if we told you we know that's
bullshit and it doesn't work?
97
00:08:31,311 --> 00:08:33,708
You look at the state of our whole planet
What it's in and
98
00:08:34,166 --> 00:08:36,291
All our water is being destroyed
the air is destroyed
99
00:08:36,728 --> 00:08:38,443
all the trees are being destroyed.
100
00:08:38,671 --> 00:08:43,124
You can't continue to bulldoze
over my people.
101
00:08:44,049 --> 00:08:46,247
Our lands. Our final say.
102
00:08:46,713 --> 00:08:49,621
No pipelines will be coming on our land.
103
00:08:50,149 --> 00:08:53,948
Drumming and singing
