Chiefs supportive of Trans Mountain have avoided the media this week at the special assembly.

National Chief Perry Bellegarde has said these chiefs are afraid to speak for fear of being "stigmatized."

"There's a stigma now attached to supporting economic development. There's a stigma that somehow you're not a First Nations person, if you support a pipeline," he told CBC News before the assembly's start.
