schema:articleBody	Canadian and British Columbia officials are meeting with indigenous chiefs for two days of talks starting Thursday aimed at bringing an end to crippling blockades and protests across the country. Crown-Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett and her provincial counterpart Scott Fraser travelled to the town of Smithers in British Columbia for the meeting, hoping for a resolution to a long-standing dispute with members of the Wet'suwet'en tribe over a pipeline and unresolved land claims. The Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs' vocal opposition to a natural gas pipeline cutting through their ancestral lands in northern British Columbia sparked nationwide protests in support of their plight. Transport Minister Marc Garneau said in Ottawa that the government had been asking for the talks "for a long time." "We both want to achieve a resolution that will allow satisfaction on both sides," he said. "It's not going to happen necessarily overnight but the beginning of this dialogue is something that is extremely important in sending a signal." A rail blockade by Mohawks east of Toronto in support of the Wet'suwet'en had shut down freight and passenger trains for 18 days, leading to supply shortages and job layoffs. At one point, commuter trains in Toronto and Montreal were also disrupted. Police moved in to clear the Mohawk blockade on Monday, but that triggered more unrest, with defiant protestors lighting fires on tracks Wednesday and again Thursday -- despite warnings this could cause flammable cargo on passing trains to explode. Coastal GasLink, meanwhile, said in a statement it would pause construction of the pipeline for two days "to facilitate dialogue between the hereditary chiefs and government representatives." amc/bfm
