PRINCE GEORGE – It’s not something we see every day. Blockades across the country in support of the Wet’suwe’tin hereditary chiefs over a pipeline in northwestern BC are uniting First Nations bands across the country.

This is a move never seen by Chris Beach a local political science instructor.

This united front may be giving them more power at the negotiating table.

Four Wet’suwet’in hereditary chiefs are scheduled to meet members of the Mohawk nation in Ontario this week.

The Chiefs are travelling to thank the Mohawk nation for supporting them in their fight against the construction of a pipeline.

While not all first nations are on the same page when it comes to the pipeline, Regional Chief Terry Teegee says there is an underlining issue that connects them and that’s land titles and interests.
