At the offices of PNG the company who will inevitably fail to push through a liquid fracked gas export facility on the unceded Lax U’u’la territory also known as Lelu Island. RCMP have been increasing their pressure on the hereditary people the Gitwilgyoots clan and their supporters. Land Defenders protecting the territory went to industry offices today to pray and remind company representatives that they are breaking Tsimshian law. #fracking #nofracking #solidarity #landdefence #unceded #tsimshian #leluisland #protect #lng #voicesbook #indigenousresistance #frontline #warriors #nolng #indigenoussovereignty

“I feel in awe as to the tremendous life
that I get to be among because we quite honestly forget that a tree has a
life, that a piece of grass, that a dandelion, that the kinnikinnick is just so
alive. Being a caretaker is creating a system for me to actually coexist with
them.”
-Christine Jack, Ulluisc 2016
Christine
Jack is a two-spirit St’at’imc life-giver and spiritual leader. In March of 2015 she was asked by her Elders
to protect a place called Ulluisc. Since that moment, Christine became caretaker
and made Ulluisc her permanent home. Ulluisc,
“a place for the people to gather”,
is high in the mountains nestled in the Yalakom Valley and is an ancestral
village site where the St’at’imc, Tsilcotin and Secwemc people came
together. The forests, creeks, and
mountains of Ulluisc are a place where medicine grows, where the pines stand
next to the cotton woods and shade the alders; where bears raise their cubs,
deer find their shelter and eagles build their nests. The last time there was clear cutting in
Ulluisc was 2015 the logging company responsible, intended to continue
cutting through 2016 and beyond. Christine Jack has halted their progress, and
as long as she remains it will never happen again.

“The deer is important to me because I’m
a hunter. It has become a really
powerful, powerful medicine for me.”
“The Elders
asked me then if I had time to put aside to do this stand here for the village,
the old village our ancestral village as well as for the animals out here because
the logging is tremendously huge in our valleys.”
