Peter Grant spent 10 years representing the Wet'suwet'en in the Delgamuukw case left dangling by the Supreme Court in 1997, which could be resolved by the proposed agreement announced Sunday.

The chiefs reached the agreement late Saturday night with federal Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett and her B.C. counterpart Scott Fraser.

The agreement being sought would essentially resolve the 1997 Delgamuukw decision in the Supreme Court of Canada that acknowledged Indigenous rights and title over their traditional lands.

Many protesters, politicians and the Wet'suwet'en chiefs themselves have suggested an alternate route could have avoided the years-long dispute.

RCMP are defending the actions of members seen in the video captured during enforcement, but the opponents say the explanations are "absurd and ridiculous."

A U.K. media report claims RCMP discussed deploying snipers and removing children when enforcing an injunction at the Wet'suwet'en pipeline blockade in northern B.C.

Hollywood has embraced the cause of First Nations protesting the Coastal GasLink pipeline project, calling on the Canadian government to respect Indigenous rights.

Hereditary chiefs are telling residents of the Unist'ot'en healing camp the deal would allow Coastal GasLink to access the area, so long as RCMP agree to leave the camp intact.

Following negotiations with the RCMP on Wednesday, the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs said they would open the checkpoint gate at the Unist'ot'en Camp.
