Shutdown Canada: The Wet’suwet’en Standoff * 3
    #26500088 - 02/23/20 03:14 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

The Wet’suwet’en Standoff

You might not have heard about it, but on the morning of February 6th the RCMP began a militarized invasion of the Wet'suwet'en Nation with the stated goal of forcibly removing indigenous people from their land in order to enforce a court injunction granted to Coastal GasLink (CGL).

In response Canada is currently facing its longest ever rail blockade - we're heading into week three now.

From what I've seen, this has been getting almost no coverage - and what coverage you do see from corporate media is obviously industry-funded misinformation - but this is big and that's why you won't see much. Luckily for us, we get our dose of politics from a drug forum.



Ok so first I want to give some context.

Unlike much of eastern Canada and the United States, only two First Nations of BC signed treaties with the Crown. Much of the rest is unceded and unsurrendered.

In 1984, after years of fruitless negotiations with the provincial and federal governments, the hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en and the neighbouring Gitxsan Nation brought forward a land title suit. It would culminate in one of the most significant rulings in Canadian law.

At trial, the Wet’suwet’en and Gitxsan spent more than 300 days presenting evidence, relaying oral histories about their land and connection to it, sometimes in their own languages, sometimes in ceremonial songs. It was an entire community process. Everybody was part of that, the Elders and the hereditary chiefs, they all spoke at the trial.

But at the end of the day, it was a victory and then not a victory at the same time.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s 1997 decision in Delgamuukw v. British Columbia confirmed the validity of oral history as evidence. Further, the court recognized Wet’suwet’en hereditary governance and that Indigenous nations’ interests in their land predate the Crown - which is pretty obvious - and that these interests exist today, that they still have these land interests within Canadian law.

But the bad side of this is that the court decided that at earlier stages in the case, some technical matters had gone awry.

The court recognized that the Wet’suwet’en and Gitxsan had title - but said that due to technical errors they would have to go back to court in order to figure out where that title applied.

The Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en didn’t have the resources to go through this again. It exhausted them getting through once. That’s where we’ve been since 1997. It’s clear the Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en have title, but Canadian courts haven’t said exactly what they think it looks like exactly on the ground, where it is and so on.

Importantly, Delgamuukw made clear that the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs are the title holders - not the band councils, which have control only over the small parcels of land allotted to reserves.

After Delgamuukw, the B.C. and Canadian governments continued on as if nothing had happened.

It was clear the province of BC was just ignoring Aboriginal title. The BC government's position during those years was ‘Well, we don’t have to do anything about it. Until it’s established on the ground we can just ignore its existence.’ And they went ahead and gave forestry licenses to people and mining claims or stakes.

And so another nation in BC went to court. In 2004, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized in Haida Nation v. British Columbia that even if an Indigenous nation has not established title or rights in a Canadian court, their title and rights exist.

The court basically said that even in that kind of case you need to have consultation taking place because at some point these rights are going to be established and then you will have to have paid attention to them somehow.

And that’s why "consultation" has become this big industry since then - but consultation means very little in practice, as seen in the provincial and federal governments’ insistence that it does not mean Indigenous nations have the power to veto projects.

Okay back to the Wet’suwet’en - their territory in northern BC has been of interest as a pipeline corridor since at least 2007. Ignoring the fact that there was no consent from the Wet'suwet'en nation to build on their land, construction went ahead on a pipeline to transport liquefied natural gas obtained via fracking in northeast BC to a processing terminal on the Pacific coast at Kitimat - it is touted as the single most expensive private sector investment project in Canadian history, but it's receiving billions in government subsidies and is unlikely to even be profitable considering the current price of LNG. This conflict has been building for at least a decade but came to a height in January of last year when the injunction against the Unist'ot'en Camp was finally enforced by the RCMP. The Wet’suwet’en people were removed by force from their land and CGL workers allowed in to begin construction work.

Over the next year, the Wet'suwet'en were forced to watch as portions of the culturally significant Kweese trail were destroyed. Across Canada marches and sit-ins were held opposing the action of the Canadian state, and the Wet'suwet'en went to court to get the injunction revoked (particularly on grounds that an essential environmental assessment had not yet been approved).

January of this year, the court finally made its decision and upheld the injunction. Rather than accept the Canadian state ignoring its own law, the Wet'suwet'en turned to their own law and issued an eviction to both CGL workers and RCMP on their territory. It didn't take long for the RCMP to return to their traditional role of making way for industry by clearing indigenous people off of their land by force.



Only this time people aren't taking anymore shit. Trudeau had said years ago that he was going to bring in legislation specific to Indigenous land rights within ten months but all his talk about "nation to nation relations" was placating lies - he refuses to even meet with the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs. The BC government had just made a huge commotion about being the first Canadian province to pass the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples literally months ago, and when it was pointed out that removing indigenous peoples from their land goes directly against it we are told that the UNDRIP was a piece of "forward looking" legislation that doesn't apply here. In the immediate aftermath, #ReconciliationIsDead and #ShutdownCanada began trending. Blockades were thrown up on the rails, roads, ports, and legislature. The Unist'ot'en had done their work in planting seeds over the decade - people from all over had come to spend time at their yearly action camps and the story of the Wet'suwet'en people was spread when they returned home. This combined with quality video captured from the raids and widely shared across social media and alternative newsites (despite an RCMP attempt to limit media access) helped the issue to immediately blow up from coast to coast. I'm always happy to see the Wet'suwet'en working closely with anarchist indie-media (particularly sub.media).

The most beautiful part of all this is that these actions are autonomous and decentralized - there's no single source or leader behind these blockades. People across Canada know that what happened is a continuation of Canada's colonialism and we won't stand for it anymore - 40% of Canadians are in support of the blockades, which is more than any single political party got in the last election. Shutting down the rails has proven particularly effective because of how vulnerable thousands of kilometres of a single track network is to blockades and sabotage, and how dependent the Canadian economy is on rail transit.

The demands of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs are simple: the blockades will not end until (1) RCMP completely withdraws from Wet'suwet'en territory, (2) CGL immediately suspends all activities on Wet'suwet'en territory, and (3) once the first two conditions are met, the BC and Canadian state leaders engage in nation-to-nation discussions on Wet'suwet'en territory with hereditary leaders.

An alternative pipeline route has already been proposed by the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs that was unilaterally rejected by CGL. This fight is more than a fight against pipelines - this is a fight centered on indigenous land rights and the brazen attempt by the colonial Canadian state to extinguish the rights on the behalf of private resource extraction industry.

There's a lot more to this story - past, present, and future - but I'll end this OP with a roundup of some of the more informative articles I've found:

I find it hard to navigate all this with the bizarre or vague language like "house territory", "aboriginal title" and the constant stream of apostrophes.

All I know is they lost in the Br'it'ish Co'lum'bi'a Supreme Court and and now are launching a constitutional challenge based on the P'ar'is Accord. 

At the same time they are saying it's alright if the pipeline goes the long way around.  Wouldn't that contradict C'an'da's obligations under the P'ar'is Accord just as much as the company's preferred route?

Send the damn thing the long way around.  It's pretty accommodating of their nation to suggest that.

They don't want this thing running through their land they live on, they don't care what the court says, it's the court of an occupying nation.  Not surprising it went against them. 

Coast gas link is crazy to push this through where it's not wanted.  I'd be afraid of sabotage.  That's what can happen when you piss a bunch of people off like this.

Even if the public pays for the extra cost of the longer, more challenging route, it's a small price to pay for peace.

There's already a pipeline up at the alternate route.  Let that be the corridor to the Douglas channel for all this stuff they want to sell to China.

:thumbup: tried hard about a little less than 200 years ago. grandparents screwed up really bad when they tried to be friendly. tricked us with smallpox blankets and raped most of our women and kidnapped all the kids shipped off to bording schools so it set us back a couple centuries but natives are an incredibly patient race. definitely dont need provoked but always appreciate the encouragement great suggestion :thumbup:

Its funny the people come here from Nigeria or Pakistan and do better at life than you people, way better. You only have blockades and crime.

You just take and contribute nothing,and when someone asks why you failed at life its the mean old white schools. We do't even have to send in smallpox to finish the genocide, drugs and alcohol are doing it for us.
Also Colten Boushie got what he deserved. The problem in Canada is weak leadership



It's cringeworthy to hear such unearnered sanctimonious egotism. I'm college educated and had a horrible accident which sent me into many surgeries and more injuries. I worked and went to school through what I could and my conditions are worse now. It's not just illegals that need better healthcare.

dont read it too many times its bad poison. the war is against that mentality.
sick part is theres good points in there but its too toxic to respond to.
people like that want to see the genocide finished because we hate most about others what we despise in ourselves.

feel better, friend

Also, I'm glad everyone got to see an example of the vile anti-indigenous racism that exists in Canada. Every time reconciliation and indigenous rights threaten the status quo of the Canadian settler state, the true colours of the huge percentage of Canadians unwilling to acknowledge their role in a still ongoing process of colonialism show.

This is so bizarre... who hates Native Americans? I can’t even think of a single stereotype for NMs.

Seriously, what’s the deal? Are they taking your jobs like them dang Mesikins do in the US? Are they stealing your womens, you insecure weirdo?


Either way, it’s definitely possible to have a comeback after an attempted genocide....take it from a Jew...
It helps if your families have 5-10 kids each generation :rofl2:

A lot of these terms have been left intentionally vague by the Canadian government so that the courts can continue to provide generous interpretations that benefit resource extraction corporations.

I'm not sure which Supreme Court decision you refer to, but this article does a great job summarizing both the general legal history of indigenous land title in Canada as well as the situation as it specifically applies to the Wet’suwet’en: https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/practice-areas/indigenous/indigenous-law-experts-weigh-in-on-the-wetsuweten-protests/326702

As for the Paris Accords, your correct that the mass amount of fracking in northeast BC that will result from this pipeline being built will make it unlikely Canada will be able to meet its goals - but it's also important to understand that this situation is more appropriately framed as an indigenous rights issue, rather than an environmental one. It explains the reactions of the Canadian State and people much better.

I was completely unaware of the depth of the problem until I left the cities for the more removed places in Canada. Hitchhiking across the northern Prairie provinces and up into BC and the Yukon helped me learn a lot about history of Canada and the reality today.

I live in the Yukon now, and this territory is at the forefront of indigenous self-government in Canada - if not the world. 11 of the 14 Yukon First Nations have "Final Agreements" (modern treaties). Final Agreements are comprehensive land claim agreements that exchange undefined Aboriginal rights for defined treaty rights and title to Settlement Land. The Yukon is home to approximately half of all comprehensive land claim and Self-Government Agreements in Canada. The Indian Act  no longer applies to these First Nations, and they can make laws and decisions on their Settlement Land and for their citizens similar to those of a Canadian province or territory.

This is the inevitable future that the settler State will violently resist to the bitter end - but rest assured, it's end is coming
