We want to help draw the international community's attention to this video of Sleydo' speaking with journalist Brandi Morin about the harassment of Indigenous land defenders by Canadian police as CGL builds a gas pipeline without consent. https://t.co/mQ0T8WJGB3 #RCMPOffTheYintah
For the second time today RCMP came to Gidimt’en camp in unceded Wet’suewet’en lands. Elder Aunty Janet tells them this is not crown land because they told her it is @ricochet_en@CSORG
Last night 4 @rcmpgrcpolice interrupted ceremony during a 3rd harassment visit of the day. Sleydo' escorted them out with our #wetsuwetenstrong war song.
"It didn't have to come to this" the lyrics say.
She was followed home & ticketed for "illegible plates".

RCMP read this b4 entering Gidimt’en camp earlier. Stating it’s being used as a base for criminal activity. NOTE: This is unceded sovereign Indigenous land. CGL pipeline which is unwanted by Wet’suewet’en hereditary leaders being built nearby @ricochet_en@CSORG#reconciliation
Meanwhile in Blue River ATCO trailers being moved into #TransMountain man camp violating International Indigenous Human Rights to build without Indigenous consent
When #canada says Indigenous “self-government” and “self-determination” it means 4th level municipal government status to fall under the province. Don’t be-LIE-be the feds they lie to extinguish our inherent #Indigenous title $ rights to terminate us as Indigenous Peoples.
Met w Gitxsan Hereditary Chief Spooke, Wolf Clan. Was arrested in 2020 on his own unceded territories (has never been arrested prior) for blocking CN rail w others in solidarity w Wet’suewet’en land defenders. Now a judge wants 2 press criminal charges & have CN prosecute! Insane
