The Unist’ot’en camp has been standing since 2009.  They have been standing up against the incursions into Unist’ot’en territory by mining and oil and gas companies.  Right now, the camp and community are on high alert. The RCMP recently visited the Unist’ot’en camp, and there are reports from a variety of sources that the RCMP appear to be on the verge of executing a highly provocative and dangerously reckless operational plan to make arrests.

As the Unist’ot’en Declaration, signed unanimously by five Unist’ot’en chiefs on August 6, 2015, states, “Exercising our unbroken, unextinguished and unceded right to govern and occupy these lands, the Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation have enacted the Unist’ot’en Declaration as official statement and law governing Unist’ot’en territory… Now enacted as law through the inherent jurisdiction of the Unist’ot’en Clan, all activities, development and actions undertaken by government or industry within Unist’ot’en territory must be consistent with the terms of this declaration.”

Sign on to support the Unist’ot’en and let the RCMP, and anyone who would violate the rights of the Unist’ot’en, know that we are watching and we stand with the Unist’ot’en.
