suspenseful music We're just doing some surveying at two creeks here I was told to give you a card If you guys show up Coastal Gaslink, TransCanada You know you guys don't have permission be here right? I'm not aware of anything. I'm just here as safety. This is traditional... Unist'ot'en territory If you would like us to leave, we'll leave. You know TransCanada has already been warned right? Equipment will be confiscated if you guys return. singing The pipelines are going to go right through where the salmon spawn And that's where we decided to put the action camp. Last year we put a cabin right smack in the way of the pipeline so that they would not go through and we just recently last year we fenced it off because we saw ribbons in there for drill pads for them to do test drills so they could drill a pipe right under the river We've been hearing all the media of all these pipes breaking and waterways getting damaged and we're just not going to accept that risk cause we don't want to be 25 years 10 years down the road telling our kids oh we used to hunt moose here and we used to fish. We've never ceded or surrendered our land to anybody here. There's no treaty. There's no relationship built with any government in the past. None of our people signed anything to let them make decisions on our territory Heavy trucks rolling by Tomorrow morning at 3, we may see some trucks attempting to get through to log the right of way. And we're going to have to differentiate them. So we're going to go through all the peaceful avenues we can But the way of the warrior is you go through and expend all peaceful avenues first. And when all those fail, it's war. And that is the way of the warrior. Drums Singing All this food in front of me. Wooden spoon tapping on a bowl We're worried we put this cabin right in route of the PTP and Enbridge pipeline The GPS route, that's where this cabin sits now and they have now since moved it upstream about 5 kilometers? It's a half a kilometer to two kilometers away. By way of them actually mending their project and changing the location of their crossing We decided to start building more infrastructure in their way again. So we did a call for people come out and assist us in the construction of a pit house And a pit house went directly in the path of the Pacific Trails Pipeline deliberately because the Pacific Trails was farther along than the rest of the pipelines In their permitting processes. Chainsaw This is the blockader's dream! Those have been doing this for awhile, Yeah some people build platforms, and sleeping dragons. I built a whole fuckin hah ha ha I built a blockade!!! It's not just a blockade. It's also a real dwelling. This is a part of the decolonization and returning to the land and returning to the old ways that ... talk about all the time. But you still have to nail something to hold that together right? laughing We've been living here for two years and we've already been brought up culturally ... and I are both culturally brought up and we are living culturally now We get all our own meats and gather our own berries, and make sure we put away enough food to last us the whole winter and this year I put away 100 fish So I jarred all that salmon We've got sweet potato, moose head-cheese ribs, deer meat, some goat meat, a lot of salmon, some groundhog, Berries that we got last season. Huckleberries, a lot of jams This all is in case they do block us because there have been threats that they will block us from the other end That's why we're preparing food. We have food cached all over the territory Our people have had enough and we're not just going to stand here and take the bullying and take it without a fight. We've had enough of these spoiled brats stealing off our lands and not accepting no for an answer and we're gonna be the stern parent and Say no, you're not coming in. moose call Could be TransCanada cause they're the ones that didn't submit their route through here yet But I know Enbridge has wanted to come in here Pacific Trails is on this side. We didn't know where TransCanada wanted to go so this probably TransCanada coming back in They did put steaks in here before and we ripped them all out a couple years ago. About three years ago, we came out and tore them all out. But this whole area between here and the truck, that valley, that's where they want to run all the pipelines through There's no freakin way we're gonna let any of those guys through. So what if we told you that the federal government doesn't have jurisdiction on our territory? 50% of your proposed project is on Wet'suwet'en territory. And all the hereditary chiefs have said 100% no to this project. We... We have the final say. Not the federal government. Not the provincial government. Well uh. We... I... I hear what you're saying umm and we're following like I said the regulatory process that we have in front of us and we can talk to you about some of the conditions that include environmental monitoring and a lot of surveys. umm environmental surveys and we can talk to you about that... And what if we told you we know that's bullshit and it doesn't work? You look at the state of our whole planet What it's in and All our water is being destroyed the air is destroyed all the trees are being destroyed. You can't continue to bulldoze over my people. Our lands. Our final say. No pipelines will be coming on our land. Drumming and singing
