A First Nations group wants the United Nations to step in and officiate its dispute with the province over preliminary work surrounding the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.
The Yinka Dene Alliance, a group of First Nations west of Prince George along the proposed route of the Alberta-to-Kitimat oil and condensate pipelines, has requested a meeting with the United Nations special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples James Anaya during Anaya’s upcoming visit to Canada.
“Every time we try to do something with [with the provincial or federal government] they end up changing legislation, they change the act, the change policy, the change regulation instead of dealing with the real issue,” Nadleh Whut’en chief Martin Louie said. “We’re sort of tired now, we’ve been doing the same thing for the last 15 years dealing with changes in policies, regulations and acts and we’ve got nowhere else to go.”
Louie hasn’t heard yet if Anya will grant a meeting during his official visit next week.
