10 Blueberrry First Nation Suing the Crown

Treaties signed with the Crown are not respected. That's why Blueberry First Nation is suing the Province and the Federal Government for “accumulative impact” of resource extraction. This is the first time ever that such a case arrives to be discussed in court. Watch more videos from Upstream. About the project: Following the route of the proposed gas pipelines from northeastern British Columbia to the Pacific coast, along almost 1,000 km from the Peace River Valley to Lelu Island, First Nations and settlers are opposing new developments (MAP), and are finding new ways to fight for the land and the future. Opposition forms are different and change according to the local situation, but in every camp, in every group, in every occupation of the land, there is one common understanding: respect for nature and aboriginal rights, in search of a sustainable future. In 2016, we spent four months along this “corridor of resistance” and found a lot of inspiration. by Paola Rosà and Antonio Se
