Chief David Pashe said searchers were digging holes and knocking down trees with their equipment.
He said he would need to see an RCMP search warrant before searchers would be allowed back in.
Grand Chief Sheila North Wilson, who represents northern First Nations, says all parties talked today and the search will be allowed to continue.
She says the chief just wanted to protect the community from damage from the heavy equipment.
