Wet'suwet'en Supports HTG at Inter-American Human Rights Commission

Wet'suwet'en representatives feel the BC Treaty Process isn't working for them. They claim the federal government is not serious about resolving aboriginal title issues. The Wet'suwet'en also feel that Canadian courts are not an alternative. Therefore, they have applied to support the Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group at the Inter-American Human Rights Commission. They hope to bring international pressure on the Canadian government to get serious about their concerns as pipelines and mines are being proposed through their territory. This story first appeared yesterday in regional news here.
