Chief Na’moks speaks to the continued opposition against the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project
Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chief Na’moks stopped in Prince George at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park on the last stop of a three-week Canada-wide tour.
Tensions are once again rising as Coastal GasLink is currently preparing to start drilling under the Wedzin Kwa, or Morice River, which are the sacred headwaters of the Wet'suwet'en. Na’moks was welcomed by a performance from the Khast’an Drummers before sharing experiences from the Canada-tour with the audience and presenting gifts. During each stop the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs have presented gifts from the the Wedzin Kwa to each Nation.
“I think it has to be remembered that we've never been violent once. The violence has come to us and the spin that they put on us, and the label that they put on us is totally untrue. This is why we thought it was best to go out to Canada, speak to our cousins across this country.”
