I would maybe ask for your clarification. When they had band elections, the different bands in the Wet'suwet'en had elections and everyone who ran on a pro-resource development platform won in those band elections.

Wouldn't that be democracy in action? Wouldn't it be those individuals living on reserve, talking about economic reconciliation, who wanted jobs and opportunities for themselves?
