FREEDOM TO DEFEND THE DEH CHO – AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST

by Grand Chief Herb Norwegian, Deh Cho First Nations

The first thing that anybody should understand when they wonder about how the people of the Deh Cho First Nations are approaching a possible pipeline through our territory is this: We know that this is the biggest industrial project to ever occur on our territory. We know it has the potential to completely change our lives, and the lives of our children. So we want to make sure it is done right. The only way we know to achieve that is for our representatives to be fully involved in an open and transparent pipeline review process.
