Three members of the news media are among the dozens arrested on Wet’suwet’en territory. Two journalists remain in custody.

I met award-winning photojournalist Amber Bracken nearly two years ago at the Unist’ot’en Healing Centre, where we were covering the last police action on Wet’suwet’en territory.
