    URGENT UPDATE: Coastal Gaslink Poised to Drill Wet'suwet'en Headwaters

Yintah Access — September 18, 2022



2022-09-18 - Coastal Gaslink equipment is now in position to drill 
beneath the Wedzin Kwa river, which provides drinking water for 
Wet'suwet'en villages and has served as a key salmon spawning area for 
millenia.

Wet'suwet'en territory is unceded, unsurrendered, and sovereign, and 
Wet'suwet'en people have never provided Free, Prior, and Informed 
Consent to the Coastal Gaslink pipeline's destructive construction 
operations.

To date, Wet'suwet'en resistance to drilling beneath Wedzin Kwa has 
delayed the destruction of Wet'suwet'en waters for approximately two 
years. In the fall of 2021, Wet'suwet'en and allies sustained a 
two-month long blockade of this drill site called Coyote camp, until a 
series of militarized RCMP attacks on Wet'suwet'en community members and 
supporters resulted in dozens of arrests.

In advance of CGL's drilling operations, Wet'suwet'en community members 
have faced increased surveillance and harassment from RCMP's C-IRG unit 
(a police unit created to facilitate pipeline construction) and a series 
of private security contractors. Wet'suwet'en village sites remain under 
24 hour surveillance, while police have made several arbitrary violent 
arrests, including with pepper spray.

RCMP and CGL's private security contractor Forsythe were served a 
lawsuit by Wet'suwet'en community members who have been subject to this 
continuous surveillance and harassment.

Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs and community members recently hosted a 
week of ceremony to protect and honour Wedzin Kwa, included rafting 
tours of a historic Wet'suwet'en village site within the headwaters area.

We will never stop defending our yintah the way our ancestors have done 
for thousands of years. The pipeline will never be put into service. We 
need solidarity actions to ensure this. The time is now.
