So essentially, Lax Kwalaams is occupying Kitkatla territory?
… and according to the same map Metlakatla is occupying Kitkatla territory, although I doubt that they will be leaving or paying rent anytime soon. I think the key word in the title to the territory map attached to the agreement is “asserted”, as in not proved.

I wanna build a cabin on crown land. I was born a Canadien, on this land, and I didn’t get to pick my race at birth just like the aboriginals. I am really getting sick of all this my land, your land, our land.
Or just let him vent, comment, etc.
the port is doing the right thing for now let them be but once Petronas gets the go ahead then the protesters better be ready to be uprooted from there, i’m sure the port right now is taking names to get ready for an injunction for that day
Agreed. 
Here is a petition for Yes for LNG. I hope you don’t mind me posting a link here due to it being about the same or similar topic.
Honorable Christy Clark B.C Premier: Say Yes To Lelu Island LNG - Sign the Petition!
Sign to help vote these PROTESTERS off the island.

Some of them are being brought her as professional protesters and getting paid for it. The new bridge by-passes the Floral Banks and will have little to no effect on the salmon.
I am glad we are starting to occupy the island. We need more room for people as Rupert expands. I heard a lot of people will come here for work and need good inexpensive accommodation. This is a good solution.

yep protesters are being paid about 200 a day supposedly, gated community indeed but lots of eel grass to smoke
I would like to know who us actually funding this.
If I were to guess it would be an environmental group
A friend who went out there to get a pay check instead of collecting EI said that Skeena Wild funded $60 000 for one of the shacks. I also heard that there was previous funding as well but don’t know who from. I hope they are claiming these personal incomes on their taxes.
I am courious to know were all their sewage is going. On the beach? In the forest? Feeding it to the salmon they are protecting? Or are they packing it all out? I doubt it.
Must be nice to get paid to camp. They have a GoFund or some other funding site set up, last I looked it was around $7000. I’m just curious about the outside influences. The sewer issue is a good point.
well they will be in shock once petronas gets the go ahead from the CEA and the port finally decides to kick them off lelu
They are just waiting for the paperwork the be faxed. Remember those fax machines with the blue ink? The paper smell nice.

Betchel has the contract to build so just waiting for CEA to say go for it and that should be soon unless they delay it again
Well, if it’s the works of the protest campers nearby, then they shouldn’t expect to win further support for their cause:
