Waldo is wrong. 4 Chief positions are vacant. I don't know where he got his numbers, but I would not trust his interpretation.

I got my numbers from media accounts. In one post, as I stated/quoted, no less than the Premier of Alberta stated that 8 Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs were in favour of the pipeline... I even went to the point of stating in my post that Jason Kenney's accounting differed from the one I had provided (per the multiple media accounts I've read, the total number of hereditary chiefs mentioned was 13... that 8 of those 13 were in stated to be in favour of the CGL pipeline)... where Jason Kenney mentioned a 12 count, rather than a 13 total count. I've previously quoted from and/or linked to these accounts - you've provided SFA!

and I believe 13 is the proper total count as it coincides with the 13 houses of the 5 clans... where each respective house has a chief. Now if you'd like to provide a different accounting, step-up! While you're giving a tally count of those hereditary chiefs in favour and those opposed, make sure you touch upon one of my favourite points that will always bite your squawking "duty-to-consult" parroting-azz... the one that has media accounts stating that (at least) 5 of those 13 hereditary chiefs were/are also Band Councilors... that were involved with consultations with CGL and the province... for some (if not all) of the 5+ year period of negotiations between CGL, the province and the respective Band Chiefs/Band Councils.
