With close to 30 band members and supporters behind her, Haisla Chief Councillor Crystal Smith, spoke passionately in support of LNG during a news conference at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George Wednesday. The Haisla are one of the 20 First Nations who have signed a benefit agreement with Coastal GasLink, which is building a natural gas pipeline from Dawson Creek to Kitimat. Smith urged outside organizations, including the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, to let the Wet’suwet’en people sort out their internal issues themselves.
