Over 200 Canadian artists have signed an open letter to the Wet'suwet'en First Nation supporting efforts to stop construction of a pipeline being built on their traditional territory.
Over 200 Canadian artists have signed an open letter to the Wet'suwet'en First Nation supporting efforts to stop construction of a pipeline being built on their traditional territory.
The 670-kilometer pipeline being built between Dawson Creek and Kitimat is aiming to deliver oil to international markets and the removal of the Wet'suwet'en camp blockade was ordered after a temporary injunction issued by BC Supreme Court earlier this month.
Musicians who signed the letter include Arcade Fire, July Talk and Arkells, with the message saying "we have heard your hereditary chiefs say no to the Coastal GasLink development and we intend to amplify it."
While Coastal Gaslink says while it has signed agreement with all 20 elected First Nation bands to move the oil to Canada's 40-billion dollar export facility to Kitimat, five hereditary clan chiefs within the Wet'suwet'en say the project also requires their consent.
It is unclear if the 4.8 billion dollar project will undergo another federal regulatory review, which could potentially delay the pipeline by months or stop the project all together.
