FLAVIO NIENOW In the story ‘Hereditary chiefs unhappy with Wet’suwet’en’s pipeline agreement’ published in the Lakes District News’ Jan. 7, 2015, Jeff Brown, Hereditary Chief of the Gitdumden Clan of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, said that all hereditary chiefs were opposed to the proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline project. Wet’suwet’en First Nation (WFN) signed an agreement with the province in December 2014 for the Coastal GasLink pipeline project in which WFN will receive approximately $2.8 million. Chief Karen Ogen responded to the article saying that the hereditary chiefs have been “extensively consulted” since the inception of the Coastal Gas Link Project and through the planning stage by both the province and the pipeline proponent, and will continue to be consulted through the development of the project. Ogen said Brown’s comments in the article represent “his own views” and not the collective views of the hereditary chiefs or WFN members. Ogen added that not all hereditary chiefs are opposed to the pipeline agreement “only a select few.” David de Wit, natural resource manager of the Office of the Wet’suwet’en, said in a statement that the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs are currently opposed to the pipeline agreement. “It is premature for any entity to review or sign benefit agreements without knowing the full extent of impacts,” he said. ...see WET’SUWET’EN ▼ P2
