A Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chief told Global News on Friday the nation is "disheartened" to see what happened at the Coastal GasLink worksite this week.

"We certainly don't, as a Wet'suwet'en people, condone this type of action," said Chief Wihaliy'te, who is also known as Theresa Tait-Day.

RCMP in northern British Columbia said a “violent confrontation” between unknown attackers and Coastal GasLink pipeline workers happened early Thursday.

In an update Friday afternoon, Coastal GasLink said approximately nine members of the nightshift workforce were "terrorized" during the incident.

Photo and video evidence, including imagery of the masked attackers, have been turned over to the RCMP and are part of their investigation, the company confirmed.
