Canadian police continue to arrest Indigenous land defenders blocking construction of Coastal GasLink, a 400-mile pipeline that would carry natural gas through Wet'suwet'en land. Police arrested two people Monday for blockading an access road, less than two weeks after arresting more than 30 in a violent raid on Coyote Camp and elsewhere that ended a 56-day blockade of a drilling site. We get an update from Wet'suwet'en land defender Molly Wickham, also known as Sleydo', just released from jail. This is the third time they have come in and raided Wet'suwet'en territory," says Wickham. We've never signed any documents to cede our land."
