As Whitehead Jr. and WCFN\u2019s legal counsel left, someone in the room could be heard saying they are, \u201cunlawfully blockading.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obsidian CEO Stephen Loukas refused to comment while leaving the meeting room not long after, repeating only, \u201cRangers in 6.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The WCFN first established a camp at the entrance to an Obsidian oil site in the South Harmon Valley field in Peace River, immediately south of Woodland Cree First Nation, on May 5, and issued an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.ca\/news-releases\/wcfn-gives-notice-to-obsidian-energy-ltd-nyseamerican-obe-tsx-obe-application-to-expand-operations-on-their-traditional-territory-has-been-rejected-by-chief-and-council-842121965.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">official notice to Obsidian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rejecting Obsidian\u2019s planned 12% increase in drilling in the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WCFN also say they have concerns about an Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) Environmental Protection Order stating that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aer.ca\/providing-information\/news-and-resources\/news-and-announcements\/announcements\/announcement-march-23-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obsidian caused several major earthquakes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by injecting wastewater into the ground. Obsidian is currently appealing the AER decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWCFN does not have a veto right, only a requirement for consultation regarding development on traditional lands. Any of our planned development that involves WCFN is on traditional lands, and there is a well-established regulatory process for obtaining licenses and permits on these lands (as we stated in the release),\u201d says Obsidian spokesperson Susan Soprovich. \u201c&#8230;less than 1% of our reserves are in or near Indigenous lands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obsidian claims that it not only has the right to use existing regulatory processes to obtain permits and licenses to execute on its three-year growth plan, but that it has the \u201cflexibility to accelerate other Peace River locations within our extensive portfolio to achieve our growth objectives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two days after the traditional camp was established, the Woodland Cree were served with a court injunction obtained by Obsidian demanding that they leave. Chief Laboucan-Avirom burned the legal paperwork in the camp fire, saying he was filing it \u201cwith the Great Spirit.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WCFN was joined at the camp in following days by several other First Nations. Chiefs from Sturgeon Lake, Tall Cree, Sucker Creek, Lubicon Lake, Kapawe&#8217;no First Nation and other Indigenous communities raised flags at the camp or sent letters in support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re trying to push for the governments, and the oil and gas industry, if you\u2019re the principal cause of the issue, the earthquakes, then you\u2019d better do some backtracking and you\u2019d better do some resolution with all people that are impacted,\u201d says Treaty 8 Grand Chief Arthur Noskey, who visited the camp in support and raised the Treaty 8 flag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMaybe this is what we need to do all across Treaty 8 to bring the governments to the table to talk seriously.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple local oilfield contractors such as Ruel Concrete, MDP Oilfield Services, Weaver Welding, and others have brought or parked their heavy equipment at the camp in an unprecedented show of support from Peace region industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michel Pelchat, owner of MDP Oilfield Services Ltd., says the Peace Oil Sands have been slow since Shell shut down the Carmon Creek project. He initially thought Obsidian\u2019s plans for more drilling were good news.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI thought well, they\u2019re going to expand here, that will be great for everybody,\u201d Pelchat says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But instead, Obsidian brought in Pidherny\u2019s, a company based in Rocky Mountain House, to work on the expansion,. Local contractors like Pelchat now feel shut out of a new opportunity to put their people and equipment to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have to stick together here because we support the local economy. If we\u2019re not working out there, we\u2019re not going to be spending any money,\u201d says Pelchat. \u201cIt\u2019s not just hurting me or other local contractors. It\u2019s going to hurt the Town of Peace River.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Saturday, May 11, the Woodland Cree moved their traditional camp to the much busier Walrus Road. Chief Laboucan-Avirom says the First Nation gave Obsidian the road they wanted, and the new camp is closer to the paved portion of the South Harmon Valley road so, \u201cit\u2019s a lot safer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By Monday, Loukas was in Peace River to meet with the Chief and council. However, those negotiations quickly fell apart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RCMP have so far not enforced the injunction against the camp, in hopes the two parties could reach an agreement. However, it remains to be seen how long that will last now that tensions have escalated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re doing this in a peaceful manner, so I\u2019m hoping it doesn\u2019t come to that,\u201d says Chief Laboucan-Avirom. \u201cBut if it does I think it will definitely send the wrong messages to other First Nations across this country.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>\u201cWe\u2019re doing this in a peaceful manner, so I\u2019m hoping it doesn\u2019t come to that.&#8221; &#8211; Chief Isaac Laboucan-Avirom By Susan V.
