Virtual signing ceremony marks B.C.’s Wet’suwet’en rights and title agreement

Wet'suwet'en hereditary leader Chief Woos, also known as Frank Alec, centre, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relation, Carolyn Bennett, left, and B.C. Indigenous Relations Minister Scott Fraser arrive to address the media in Smithers, B.C., Sunday, March 1, 2020.A virtual ceremony, where everyone involved pointed the freshly signed document at their cameras, marked the start of a new relationship between the hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en Nation and the federal and B.C. governments.

The traditional in-person signing ceremony was shelved to respect guidelines from public health officials to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Hereditary Chief Dini’ze Woos said in a statement the agreement starts work toward building better understanding and stronger relationships between the Wet’suwet’en, Canada and B.C.

Five elected Wet’suwet’en councils signed agreements with Coastal GasLink, allowing the 670-kilometre natural gas pipeline to be built through their territory in northern B.C. to Kitimat.

Wait...that guy is a fake?

When do the elected Wet’suwet’en Cheifs and people file a Charter challenge to this abrogation of their rights?

Ridiculous! No elected Wet'suwet'en Chiefs involved? This is a total sham and this Trudeau Minister fired!

You spelled virtue signalling wrong.

Librail smoke show...

That would be a great strip cub name Wet&sweat’en they can have that 5$ cover hot native strip club ALL IN

So what is the agreement? How about some info and disclosure?

NO IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT!!! THE WET'SUWET'EN PEOPLE NEVER EVEN SAW IT NOR VOTED ON IT! THIS IS ILLEGITIMATE BULLSHIT! THE PEOPLE WANT PATTI FIRED! THIS IS EGREGIOUS AND AN INSULT! THESE PEOPLE WHO USURPED THE LEGITIMATE CHIEFS ARE NOTHING MORE THIEVES LOOKING FOR THE MONEY!

How much $$$$$$?
