May 7th the Wet'suwet'en First Nation established an informational picket of the mine, forming drivers of its concerns of:
- The power transmission line to the mine illegally crosses I.R. No. 7,
- The gravel forest access road crossing I.R. No. 7 is used illegally for mining purposes,
- The non-existent employment and training opportunities for qualified Wet'suwet'en,
- The non-existent contracting opportunities for qualified Wet'suwet'en businesses, and
- The minimal benefits to the Wet'suwet'en community.
This video examines the Wet'suwet'en First Nations concerns and the Information Picket.
