First Nation issues eviction notice to Coastal GasLink contractors | CBC News
hereditary chiefs with the First Nation wrote all staff and contractors
must leave the territory immediately.
“Coastal GasLink is in
violation of Wet’suwet’en law, and it is our responsibility now to
uphold Wet’suwet’en law to maintain the integrity of our territories for
future generations,” the letter reads.
Upon
receiving the eviction notice, Na’Moks said employees of Coastal
GasLink initially reacted with “arrogance and entitlement.”
“But
it was explained to them that we are peacefully there,” he said. “We
witnessed them leaving, because we were staying there until they did.
Then they left, and it was peaceful.
"We sang our songs and
drummed and wished them well. These are employees, but we needed to let
the decision-makers know that we do not agree with them — we follow our
law.”
