We support the people of the Nisga'a Nation who stand in opposition of the proposed pipeline agreement between the Nisga'a Lisims Government and Trans Canada Pipelines. The proposed agreement in question is set to remove 63.5 hectares of land from a sacred burial site of our ancestors in the Lava Bed Memorial Park. We will not stand idle as this sacred land becomes desecrated by one of our own. Please sign this petition and share the link once you are finished. Our government has shown where they stand on such delicate matters, now let us join together as one and share where we stand. Let us share our true Sayt K'il'im Goot - One Heart One Path One Nation.
The momentum is undeniable now. Our ancestors demand this respect and we are finally delivering it together.

The Lava Beds are sacred ground..our ancestors are buried there...Why would they even think of disturbing the graves there? I'm pretty sure any other places that this company wants to lay their pipelines would never allow their graveyards/sacred grounds to be disturbed or moved....this is wrong in so many ways.

this is not a matter for a few people to agree on, this should be for everyone in the nisga'a nation to finalize. it shouldn't even be an option, our ancestors should not be disturbed especially from a pipeline.

Thank you for creating this petition. Nothing is built! We have time for protest and to honor our ancestors and cheifs who fought for us and our land, so we can have somewhere to call HOME.

I've passed through the lava bed many times, during the years I planted trees in the Nass Valley. I stand firmly with the Nisga'a people who oppose the desecration of a site that is both sacred and geologically significant.

I've always suspected that things go on behind closed doors until they thought that it would be too late for you to do anything. The idea for using the sacred burial grounds is a disgrace. I said once, I will say it again, if nothing remains sacred, how is anything ever to be respected at all?

Economic boon... But at what cost??? Nothing is worth irreparable damage to our eco-system. Alberta will never be the same and neither will our Nass Valley if we aloow this to happen!
