Ellis Ross is an indigenous leader who speaks out on behalf of jobs and opportunities for his people. People like DiCaprio should not stick their noses into something they don't know enough about.
IMO elected leaders are ignored over the 'hereditary Chiefs' which I wonder about, as in are they really 'hereditary'. There was a a year or so ago who took over a hereditary female chief after they had her kicked out, can't remember his name, but how in heck can he be a 'hereditary Chief'?

I was confused and alarmed when I read your Tweet claiming “militarized raids” have been ordered against protestors participating in illegal and dangerous blockades opposing the Coastal GasLink project in Northern British Columbia.
But then I thought, given your busy schedule as a Hollywood movie star, you may not have learned the full story behind this transformative, environmentally sustainable project. So please, allow me to fill you in.
My people and many other First Nations communities, leaders, and elders, including 20 democratically elected Chiefs whose bands support the Coastal Gas Link project, are proud to champion British Columbia’s world-class resource sector.
These leaders have been elected by their communities, as I was when I fought to bring liquified natural gas (LNG) development to our province. I suppose you haven’t thought about how in siding with the unelected hereditary chiefs opposed to the Coastal Gas Link project, you are ignoring the democratic rights of thousands of First Nations people?
Although the democratic case for the Coastal Gas Link project is strong, I feel the need to outline for you why so many First Nations leaders and communities support developing our resources safely and sustainably. cont.
