Five elected chiefs of Wet’suwet’en band councils along Coastal GasLink’s pipeline route back the energy project and say they were shut out of the ratification process for the MOU.But hereditary chiefs say they have jurisdiction over their traditional territory outside of federal reserves, while asserting that elected chiefs only have authority within the boundaries of those reserves.
An e-mailed message issued by Ms. Bennett’s office on Wednesday said the MOU “marks an important step in our work to rebuild our relationship with the Wet’suwet’en and towards affirming and implementing their rights and title.” But in a statement to The Globe and Mail, Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs said there will be a series of negotiations with B.C. and Ottawa, using the MOU as a springboard to work out details over the next 12 months. “The commitment of Canada and British Columbia to affirm us and our title to the yin tah in the MOU will allow us to give our future generations that better future,” according to the statement.

One chief has a hard time communicating with the other chiefs, so now this internal.problem they want to solve it by getting someone else fired for the FNs mistakes in not communicating between each other. Got it. No responsibility within the FN I guess... Who the hell cares, they only time they seem to be quiet and not bit*hing is when they are cashing in their treaty cheque’s!
