You have cleared up one point for me- hereditary chiefs versus band council- is the reason why the Gitxsan appear not to have their act together on the Enbridge issue. It makes more sense to me now. I doubt any consensus will be reached soon, as trying to get everyone to agree on a plan of action should and will take a long time. It's what's expected in a  democracy. And, If we are to live in harmony with Canadian aboriginal people the reserve system has to go.
