Wet’suwet’en Blockade and the Challenge of Reconciliation

January 15, 2019 by webmaster Leave a Comment

CUC (Canadian Unitarian Council) eNews: January 15, 2019 – Issue 73

The Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) recognizes the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples and their authority to make decisions about what happens on their land. In the case of the Wet’suwet’en, who are opposing the development of a Coastal GasLink pipeline on their traditional territories in northwestern British Columbia, the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed that they have never ceded their traditional lands (Delgamuukw, 1997). This historic case specified what is required to claim Aboriginal title to land, affirmed the legal validity of oral history and clarified the government’s duty to consult with Indigenous peoples before proceeding with any development.

6:30 PM, Saturday, January 12, 2019 •  Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 8109 224 Street SW Edmonds,WA
Coral reefs are the nursery for all life in the oceans, a remarkable ecosystem that sustains us.
