Yinka Dene Alliance was a leading creator of the Save the Fraser River Declaration signed by almost 200 First Nations in solidarity to protect the environment of their traditional lands. Representatives of the Yinka Dene Alliance will attend Enbridge's Annual General Meeting in Toronto, Ontario to enforce their ban of the construction of pipelines in their traditional territories.

"We're travelling across Canada to tell Enbridge that they will not be permitted to build their pipelines through our lands, period,” said Chief Jackie Thomas of Saik'uz First Nation. "The fight against Enbridge is a fight for our freedom to govern ourselves and to choose our own future. We will not accept the government imposing a decision on us and forcing this pipeline through our lands.”
