Coastal GasLink, a subsidiary of Calgary-based energy company TransCanada has taken leaders of the Unist'ot'en community to court, accusing the members of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation of blocking access to the area around the Morice River Bridge. The company is trying to build a natural gas pipeline in this region, but it says it is being obstructed by a camp set up by Unist'ot'en clan members and other members of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation to protect their traditional territories. The notice of civil claim filed by Coastal GasLink to the Supreme Court of British Columbia named Freda Huson (spokesperson for her clan, the Unist’ot’en House) and Dinï ze’ Smogelgem (Hereditary Chief of the Laksamshu Clan), also known as Warner Naziel, as defendants. Naziel commented saying: "They don’t recognize we’re connected from the hereditary system. They decided to try and make this personal, attack us as individuals, rather than our collective nation."
