As with many of the other players in this saga, Woos’ history isn’t well-known

Whenever there has been a development in the dispute between the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs and the federal government, Frank Alec has been the man in front of the television cameras, the voice of the chiefs at the negotiating table.

Last Sunday, when the government and hereditary chiefs reached a deal after days of meetings in Smithers, B.C., it was Woos who spoke to the media, alongside senior government ministers. Trudeau had dispatched Carolyn Bennett, the federal minister of Crown-Indigenous relations, to meet with the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs. She was joined there by her B.C. counterpart Scott Fraser.

“As Wet’suwet’en, we are the land and the land is ours,” Woos said. “We’re not going to look at any alternative ways.” The school, which was located on Dakelh territory, but also had children attend from Gitxsan, Wet’suwet’en and Sekani communities, was closed in 1976 after operating for 54 years, and the land turned over to Nadleh Whut’en First Nation.

— Frank J Alec September 28, 2018Since the 1980s, Woos has held various roles, including housing officer with the Carrier Sikani Tribal Council, deputy chief with the Lake Babine Nation and director of membership services with Takla Lake First Nation, his LinkedIn profile says.

Hey National Post, you omitted critical information in your investigative (fluff) piece on Frank J Alec. He was a wife beater too.

He is a nobody and a bully. In it for himself period.

Article has an error. The blockades are NOT in support of Wet’sewet’en people- the majority of those people & elected councils want the pipeline. The people want projects that include environmental due diligence. The people are rejecting continued government handouts

So zero knowledge as to how he claims to be a hereditary chief whatever that is? Doesn't ring true.

Bring a lack of credibility to everything Indian in Canada.

BICOGMedia Live- Trudeau Refuses To Tell Canadians What’s In ‘Deal’ With Hereditary Chiefs Wet’suwet’en Trudeaumustgo

who? he's the jacobin puppet 'chief' the aboriginal equivalent of the holy roman empire king...illegitimate but put into power and propped up by the elements that serve the black nobility.

Maybe he’s an irregular chief.

He is some guy with bad teeth who crushed all of the women on the rez where he showed up to demand control. Could be he might be a great witness at the missing and murdered women commission, but I could be wrong.

Who knew ? Only his dentist knows who he really is!

Chinese? Vietnamese? Cambodian? Definitely asian!

RebelNewsOnline already has the explanation...

VerityPro Trudeau is fully aware the fake hereditary chiefs are on the Tides Canada payroll. What is the Liberal political kabuki theatre really about? Shutting down extractive industries? Keeping critical infrastructure like rails blockaded? What is coming for TMX this spring & summer?

3/3 Molly Wickham '...It's to be upholding our laws, which mandates and which enforces the fact that we have to protect our territory, and our resources, and our livelihoods.' Respect WetsuwetenLaw RCMP and CGL OUT NOW!

2/3 Spokesperson Molly Wickham: 'Some people have been stripped of their names, b/c the responsibility of a high chief's name is not to be taking money from industry and making decisions outside of our collective decision-making process...'

So the five current male hereditary chiefs stripped the 3 female chiefs of their titles. That's feminism according to the Wetseweten. The government made a deal with a phoney chief. How poetic. Hi how are ya, hi how are ya.

NaPo shld try fact-checking. The 3 women lost their titles after taking $30K from CoastalGasLink & $30K more from Province of BC for their industry-friendly organization. 1/2

Frank J Alec FrankAlec aka Chief Woos is an illegitimate chief!

How about we locate the female hereditary Chiefs and ask them that question?

A FN person that decries traditional way in favour of Colonial extraction is, in fact, just a colonial convert in it solely for big pay-cheque. No regard for healing their people and restablishing beneficial culture. In Colonial culture that is treason. Wetsuweten

Not to be confused with Chief Wahoo from the Cleveland Indians

Fraud

Rick Flair

for my blood pressure sake i will not read your article, i think there is more news in covering the fact J Kenny cheated to get his leadership then fired the man investigating him.

Any interview with the female hereditary chief he stole his 'hereditary' title from? Or nah?

He a fake

Now Canada is chasing multiple demands from multiple bands.
