At the heart of the issue in Saskatchewan is the continuing battle between First Nations groups and Enbridge Pipelines. "The boiling point, or the tipping of the scales, was some of the frustration that Chief Sheldon Wuttunee and the Red Pheasant First Nation had with their agreement with Enbridge Pipelines," said Treaty Four spokesman Edmund Bellegarde. "The pipeline is being expanded throughout this territory, throughout our territories ,and we feel that we're banding together with the Treaty Six First Nations and NW Saskatchewan and we're taking the days of action here, so we are fully intending to be peaceful. We need to bring attention to our rights and our concerns that our elders have talked to us about and counselled us on our role as stewards of the land."
