I do believe that the creator lives inside
of everybody and I do believe in my ancestors and I do believe that I am doing
what’s right.  The things that I am
motivated by and that keep me going are my Grandkids.  I have a responsibility to them.  It’s really sad that the work that we do as
Mothers and Grandmothers and Protectors and Warriors is vilified.  

-Queen Sacheen

Xhopakelxhit, Sacheen Seitcham, is a Snuneymuxw, Nuu Chah Nulth,
Coast Salish and Cree Grandmother, Medicine Maker, Water Protector and
Strategist.  Co-Founder of the Coast Salish Native Youth Movement, The West Coast
Women Warrior Society Media Cooperative
, Yaakswiis Warriors, Imperial No More and Ancestral Pride Sacheen’s life is
dedicated to the futures of the children.  In August of 2016
Sacheen and 3 others were arrested for attempting to block the restocking of a
fish farm in Ahousaht waters and in the autumn Sacheen and her family were
throwing down with Red Warrior at Standing Rock and providing crucial on the
ground media coverage.

Sacheen’s work relies on the support of people like you dedicated to
Indigenous Sovereignty and Protection of Water, Land and Life.  With
court dates coming up on both sides of the colonial border, family to
support and Imperial Metals, the Kinder Morgan Pipeline and Cermaq to fuck up
your donations are crucial.

Please support Warriors.
