I am going to break some things down about COASTAL FIRST NATIONS. In British Columbia there are 204 Chiefs, 130 (give or take by 10) of them belong to the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. The UBCIC is more present in news and media than others since they represent the majority of native people.
There is an annual fee to join the Union and it's structured by nation size, it ranges from $500 to $2000 and it's paid for by the nation (tax dollars in reality) not by the Chief.
When an org and ngo is placed as "representing" native people it is usually put to a vote by the Chiefs - not the average native person. I can tell you with 100% certainty, that although UBCIC does support Coastal First Nations, they did not hold a provincial wide referendum for all the Chiefs to vote on this matter.
This is abnormal and very telling, that only 80 Chiefs out of 204 are in public support of Coastal First Nations representing them. This is because many Chiefs also do not support CFN nor were they consulted ...

“The Federal Court correctly determined that the declaration of a public order emergency was unreasonable,” the appeal court wrote.
The court also agreed with the lower court’s finding that the use of the Emergencies Act infringed on sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including freedom of expression and protections ...
