Nat-Gas: Haisla Chief Councillor Crystal Smith, it is long past due for elected first nations to raise what she calls the unheard voices in indigenous communities located along a pipeline route in British Columbia.

Ms. Smith is disturbed by the protests and blockades that have spread across Canada in solidarity with Wet'suwet'en Nation hereditary chiefs, who are battling the Coastal GasLink project that would pipe natural gas from northeastern B.C. to Kitimat on the coast.

All 20 elected first nation councils along the route support the project, including the Haisla. Ms. Smith said in an interview: "The stopping of the railways and the blocking of the ports -- that comes with repercussions for first nations people in this country. I fear a backlash against first nations in our everyday lives." She said there are deep divisions within the Wet'suwet'en Nation, and some indigenous people who oppose the pipeline project have labelled her as a sell-out. She said: "They call me a colonizer and an oppressor. The sad thing is that the protests are affecting the possibility in future of lifting our people out of poverty."
