Rupert, BC, on February 4 as thousands of First Nations and BC citizens
banded together to express their opposition to the proposed Enbridge
Northern Gateway twin pipelines from the Alberta Tar Sands to nearby
Kitimat on BC's central coast.
Watch this exclusive documentary video
report on the historic gathering - featuring the Gitga'at drummers and
dancers of Hartley Bay, young aboriginal signer-songwriter Ta'kaiya
Blaney, local political leaders, and a number of powerful First Nations
speakers.
