Three independently-minded female Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en leaders have had enough of the attacks from a small group of activist-backed men, who claimed this spring to have \u201cstripped\u201d the hereditary chief titles given to the women by their families decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the women are fighting back in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of mistreatment in their home communities, Theresa Tait-Day, Gloria George, and Darlene Glaim are speaking up, with powerful statements and stories about how they have been \u201cunpersoned\u201d 1984-style<\/a> for merely trying to follow the will of their people. The experience has been traumatic for them, they say, describing how they have been shunned, insulted, demeaned, marginalized, and met with hostility for years ever since they decided to support a natural gas pipeline connecting Peace River country gas fields with Kitimat\u2019s port, passing through their territory in the middle of northern BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women provided sworn affidavits to support TC Energy Corp\u2019s Coastal GasLink pipeline project<\/a>, which was in court this week to ask the judge to extend an injunction preventing activists from harassing and impeding pipeline construction workers this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say a few male hereditary chiefs, propped up by activists intent on stopping the pipeline, had no authority to take away any of their hereditary titles. The female chiefs provided the court with details showing how the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en political and cultural system functions, and why they cannot be \u201cstripped\u201d of their titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en is made up of five First Nations, with a collective registered population of nearly 3,500 people. Each nation has an elected Chief and council. The Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en people are also represented through their traditional hereditary system of five clans, each with three houses who are led by multiple hereditary leaders, or House Chiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activist-backed chiefs acted against own traditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHouse Chief titles are held for life and after the death of the holder are passed to someone in the matrilineage,\u201d said Gloria George, who is Smogelgem, the head hereditary chief (House Chief) of the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en\u2019s Sun House. \u201cTitles are only removed in the most extreme scenarios such as murder\u2026 we are not \u2018stripped\u2019 like bark off a tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George was given her House Chief title at a ceremony in 2009. She says the actions of the male chiefs goes against the traditions and protocols of the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en system for feasts and granting titles, which are an important part of the First Nation\u2019s political system for governing and managing its diverse Clans and Houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen a severe action such as stripping a name is contemplated, we would have to discuss it in our house and with other houses at length. We would make sure we had input from the entire house and other clans especially the father and grandfather clans. We would make sure that we kept everyone informed of the decisions as we went along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn all my life I have never heard of anyone being legitimately stripped of their hereditary name,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was inappropriate, agreed Darlene Glaim, who is Woos, head House Chief of Grizzly House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMatters related to a house should never be discussed at the Office of the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en<\/a> which is meant to conduct administrative tasks for the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en,\u201d she said. \u201cHouse Chiefs from outside a house cannot just take another House Chief\u2019s name. Each name is connected to a house territory so it is not appropriate for other House Chiefs to get involved in such a manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punished for seeking consensus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The female chiefs came under attack shortly after they created the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en Matrilinear Coalition (WMC) in 2015. They created the WMC after it became clear there was a political division between the Office of the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en representing hereditary chiefs, and the elected chiefs and councils representing the nation\u2019s five different bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe identified that there was no process for us to make decisions as a collective nation,\u201d said Theresa Tait-Day, who is Wi-hali-iyte, a hereditary chief in her clan. \u201cA few House Chiefs cannot make decisions for our nation. Everyone in our nation is equal and has a voice that deserves to be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tait-Day said the WMC was formed to co-ordinate and facilitate economic development and to share information with all Wet-suwet\u2019en members, regardless of whether they live on or off reserve lands. It was not intended to make decisions, but to make sure everyone had access to the same information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe goals of the WMC include setting up a process in which the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en house groups can consider projects in their territories and negotiate agreements regarding those projects in a manner that reflects and supports Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en peoples\u2019 matrilinear system, cultural values, governance\u2026 and well-being of the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en people,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is not a hierarchical structure and does not take away from our traditional governance structure or make decisions on behalf of a house. It is meant to bring the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en nation together to facilitate engagement and decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, the WMC held a major information event in Houston, BC which included reps from the oil and gas industry, Coastal GasLink, and the BC government. All Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en members were invited to attend to learn about the proposed pipeline project over several days. However, apparently threatened by the WMC, some house chiefs (including the group that would later attempt to strip the women of their titles) were disruptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA few House chiefs\u2026 and a few others interrupted the meeting to deliver a message in opposition to the WMC and the project,\u201d Tait-Day said. \u201cThey did not stay after their interruption to learn more about the event or participate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, most members of the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en nation were supportive of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community members directed us to continue the work we were doing, to identify potential benefits from Coastal GasLink and to consider potential decision-making processes for the nation,\u201d Tait-Day said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still fighting for their people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the terrible ordeal the female chiefs have endured, they are still fighting for the well-being of all their people. They are speaking up for other members who can\u2019t speak publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI estimate that a large majority of our nation supports the project,\u201d said Tait-Day, describing how most people are excited about job training and opportunities the pipeline will bring. \u201cSome of these people have also told me that they are afraid to publicly say that they support the project because they are afraid of being bullied or ostracized for their opinions by those who oppose the project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disagreement is one thing, but bullying and shaming people must stop, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI understand that there are people in our community who do not support the project, including some hereditary chiefs,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is because of this division in perspectives that I am committed to working with the WMC to help bring our community together to establish a decision-making process to help our community make decisions about projects in Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope the community can work together for the benefit of our nation\u2019s members, wherever they reside,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court decision expected soon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court has not yet made a decision whether or not to extend the injunction requested by Coastal GasLink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court granted an interim injunction in December<\/a> against protesters who have been blockading Coastal GasLink workers from reaching their job sites and harassing them on the job. Now, the company is back in court this week to extend the injunction through the summer construction season. 

The company says the application would allow the directive to remain in place without a time limit, ensuring \u201ccontinued safe and unimpeded access\u201d to the site.

TC Energy Corp, which owns and operates the Coastal GasLink project, has signed agreements with all 20 elected First Nations councils along the 670-kilometre Coastal GasLink route; however, seven male hereditary house chiefs in the Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en First Nation claim the project has no authority without their consent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
