I’m super excited to watch this award winning doc chronicling the struggle of Witsuwit’en land protectors as they defend their unceded territory, cultural sovereignty, and vital ecosystems from pipeline developers and ongoing RCMP violence.

The Wet'suwet'en people speak Witsuwit'en, a dialect of the Babine-Witsuwit'en language, a member of the Athabaskan family.

Also, for clarification, the language itself isn't ceremonial but the phrase that Trevor teaches us is used in ceremonies.

In the middle of winter, Wet'suwet'en/Witsuwit'en Nation shut down the Canadian economy for weeks with only the solidarity of grassroots groups, no political party.

Shame on liberals and their excuses.

Even more dramatically, Hargus (2007) argues that in another Athabaskan language, Nedut’en-Witsuwit’en, all of /tʰ tɬʰ tsʰ cʰ tʃʰ qʷʰ qʷ qʰ ɬ s ç χʷ χ h/ are [+spread glottis] as well as [–lowered larynx], but Cook (1989) and I argue for [retracted tongue root] instead of the latter, i.e., emphatic
