The Controversy Surrounding the Coastal GasLink in BC, Canada

The proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline aims to transport natural gas from Dawson Creek to Kitimat, British Columbia. In January 2019, the Wet’suwet’en peoples faced forced removal from the pipeline's route, spotlighting the displacement of Indigenous law on two fronts. Firstly, traditional governance institutions were supplanted by imposed Indian Act governance. Secondly, a rights regime was enforced, excluding Indigenous tenures and jurisdiction until proven in court through an Aboriginal title analysis.

Join us in the fight for justice, sustainability, and the empowerment of Indigenous communities. Together, we can redefine the narrative, protect our planet, and ensure a harmonious coexistence where the rights of Indigenous peoples are respected and celebrated.
