Learn more about #ChiefMaquinna.
This is a collection of words, photos and video clips for Hyas Tyee #Nuuchahnulth - Chief Maquinna. A greatly respected & important Chief of the Nuuchahnulth #Haida People, of the Haida Gwaii Islands, in #BritishColumbia #Canada.
Chief Maquinna (also transliterated: Muquinna, Macuina, Maquilla) was the Chief of the Nuuchahnulth People of #NootkaSound, during the heyday of the maritime fur trade in the 1780s and 1790s, on the #PacificNorthwest Coast.
British explorer #CaptainCook went looking (like so many #Europeans before and after him)or the Northwest Passage. He ran headlong into a thriving trade and business culture on the west coast, overseen by young Nuu-chah-nulth, Chief Maquinna.
The two men's encounter would forever change trans-Pacific trade and teach the European empire a lesson in diplomacy, they've managed to forget, many times over.

*In case you missed reading this when it was first published last year.*
#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.
Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people
In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.

I spent 3.5 months here in my first #CivilDisobedience action in my teens. Which led to a lifelong commitment to protect all old growth in BC.
Produced by Nettie Wild, Song by Bob Bossin. Featuring the 1993 Clayoquot Sound (Kennedy River Bridge) Logging Blockades.

My frontlines interview with Donna Clark from #XRVancouver has finally uploaded.
I talk about why I'm at the blockades. I talk about the ecocide on my family's matriarch homelands. I talk about the devastating & longterm effects of the US invasion on Vietnam. I talk about how we need to protect/study/find more ancient forest medicines. I talk about colonialism & brutalities. I talk about my amazing resilient villager relations. I talk about how ecocide destroyed my matriarch village ways of life.
I also bring up the sellouts.
We were carpet bombed by #USA #racist terrorists. Fact.
Please take the time to listen to what I have to say. Thank you for those who care enough to listen to me & why I keep fighting for a better world - for all of us.

All three of us have faced multiple violent threats & assaults from RCMP. All three of us refused to bow down to any colonial corporate entities. All three of us lost loved ones to colonial violence. We are not built like some other women. We are women in active colonial resistance & it is a lifelong commitment. We do not have or will ever have white privileges. We respect our white comrades who have done heavy decolonization work a lot. We do not really respect anyone who always obeys any colonial masters & does not challenge them.

With #SisterFriends at frontlines. Warrior POC women against ongoing colonial ecocide. I had not slept for 3 days & had not bathed in 8 days at that time. I was chaining myself to bridge & other infrastructure for over a week. I had experienced over 50 RCMP CIRG raids by this time & refused to stop fighting back. We, war survivors, do not back down from colonial forces easily.
2021, from the frontlines.

Standoff between unarmed peaceful activists & militarized #RCMPCIRG - employed by #BCgovernment using #BCcitizens tax monies - in middle of the night. It was raining almost all day/night. Frontliners didn't budge ✊️

Posting some of my older photos because I've been stuck at home for a bit & I have a ton of old photo memories.
This is from 2021. I went up for frontlines arrestees court support in #Nanaimo. Pictured here with sister-friend Ojistoh, Grandma Losa, Chiykotin & sister-friend Raven(Wolf) in front of Nanaimo courthouse.

Awaiting to be arrested (again) at HeliCamp - named because it was only camp that could take out activists via #helicopter.
This was a very remote, high up in mountain valley resistance camp that I first got death threats from one unhinged logger, from Lake Cowichan & told by one RCMP CIRG guy that I deserve to be raped.
2021 was a helluva year!

Who are the #DomesticTerrorists here?
The unarmed #environmental activists or the state funded, militarized #RCMP #CIRG unit?
Who is the one fighting for humanity & protection of our ecosystems?
Who is protecting the profits only interests of ecocidal corporations & the sellout politicians?
Tell me - who are the real domestic terrorists that you see in these #photos.

Part of the #RCMP #CIRG #DomesticTerrorists who violated multiple laws with impunity. This was taken about an hour before another very violent raid.

#Grassroots #courage over #colonial #fascists ✊️❤️🌲
Staying calm while #RCMP #CIRG chumps surround & threaten you is #HumanityInAction. Most female environmental activists have more bravery than all #RCMP across #Canada 🙌
