Hereditary Chief Smogelgem is one of two plaintiffs in a case against Coastal Gas Link to try and stop a pipeline going through Wetsu’et’en territory. The Coastal Gas Link pipeline is part of a project to move natural gas to the proposed LNG Canada facility in Kitimat. A large portion of the 670 km route is slated to go through Wet'suwet'en traditional territory. We recorded Chief Smogelgem speaking to a Vancouver audience on April 3.
