Wet’suwet’en Resistance
Amber Bracken
The Wet’suwet’en people have lived in long-standing relationship with this glacial river and its surrounding environment—including salmon, wildlife, and plant life—for thousands of years. The area is recognised within Canadian law as unceded territory.
In recent years, the region has also been the site of proposed infrastructure development. These projects have brought attention to questions surrounding land use, consultation, and decision-making processes within the territory.
Discussions related to governance, development, and community interests have accompanied these initiatives. Such conversations reflect broader considerations present in many regions where long-established communities and contemporary development intersect.
The area’s present circumstances are shaped by historical, legal, and administrative frameworks that continue to influence how land and resources are managed today.
