Elected Chief Mark Hill announced the community would close access to non-essential services and non-band members on March 31. That timeline was shifted in response to the hundreds of cars and people that flooded the community to buy gas and cigarettes before the restricted access began. Community members launched into action on Sunday at around noon to begin blocking access to the community immediately to protect gas attendants and smoke shop employees from the increased risks they were facing.
