The people in Northwest British Columbia, the Sacred Circle, the; Gitxsan, Wet'suwet'en, Tsimsian, Haisla, Haida, Tahltan, Nisga'a and Tlingit, still speak their original language, still practice their original culture and in some cases, still practice their original government. The historic Delgamuukw ruling by the Appeal Court of the Supreme Court of Canada detailed and described the land ownership and rights of these people of the Sacred Circle.

Today it is this specific territory the Canadian Government desires to access for the trade routes through to China and other Pacific Rim markets. The entire north western half of BC is owned by one or another of the eight Nations of the Sacred Circle.
This is what is being missed by everyone in the Idle No More movement. The entire controversy in Ottawa is likely being used as a diversionary tactic to distract the Canadian people from the methods of the International, Industrialists, "traders", from maximizing their profits yet again, and/or, still. Nothing has changed. The genocide continues. And today we see Indian traitors working with the Canadian traders.
Recently with the Gitxsan Nation, the pipeline company wishing to access the lands and northwest coast, Enbridge, coerced Elmer Derrick and his government funded Gitxsan Treaty Society (GTS) to sign a deal supporting them. The media in Canada promoted this without acknowledging he had no support from his Gitxsan Nation. [ http://www.terracedaily.ca/cgi-bin/show_articles.cgi?ID=9231&TOPIC=0 ]
Today the society is found to be acting illegally and the lawyers representing them in Court applied to be removed from representing this illegal society, the one the International trader, Enbridge, neglected to do their due diligence on.
The Haisla, the Nation owning the Douglas Channel Port facilities region and all lands accessing the region, were engaged in a lawsuit initiated by secret deals made between former Premier, now ambassador to Britain, trader Gordon Campbell and the Haisla Indian Act Chief, Steve Wilson. This lawsuit was an attempt to discredit the hereditary system of governance. [ http://www.terracedaily.ca/cgi-bin/show_articles.cgi?ID=8647&TOPIC=0 ]
The end result would be to the benefit of the Mining Giant Rio Tinto and the worlds largest private company Bechtel. This legal success to discredit the true land owners, the Haisla Indians, opened the door for the new "Elected Indian Act" government to sell opportunities to all the worlds largest traders, the oil and gas companies. Now calling themselves the Haisla Nation Council, rather than rightfully, the Kitamaat Village Council, the trickery continues and was recently approved by the Canadian Government Indian Affairs branch.
