  1. Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.

    River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.

    "My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

    Up there in Fairy Creek they are fighting for the ancient forest from high in the trees on platforms rigged of rope and wood the chainsaws from Mulo just could send them falling
    Brave protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade, this song's for you.

    I believe in the good things coming
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth Of Brazilian bodies
    I am here to receive, I am here to give
    Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
    A hundred elders marched the dawn up a hill to stand upon a holy grove of trees
    Older than the Notre Dame
    Past picket lines and ATVs they sang for the land they wished to leave home for their children's children
    Singing I believe in the good things coming
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth the Brazilian bodies
    I am here to receive I am here to hear
    Stay brave, protectors of Fairy Creek
    There's a war been going on through the soul of the world since the break of dawn, how do we share this land we stand upon?

    I am a newborn to this place
    Though I've lived here all my life
    My ancestors came across the sea to stand for what they thought was right they broke trust treaties too can't unright the past is true
    But I'm here to understand and stand with you Singing I believe in the good things
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth of resilient bodies
    I am here to receive, I am here to give
    Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
    My whole story is in my heart
    Gentle as they fall apart the land remembers more than I ever will
    Still I'm here to witness this
    Brave ones high up in the trees the sweetness of your farewell kiss the gentle of the morning breeze what stories will they tell of me
    One day soon that's all will be
    Amid a distant memory what stories will they tell?

    And today we sing
    I believe in the good things
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth of Brazil.

  6. 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.

  7. #RainbowNation #Resistance.

    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.

  10. My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"🌲💦 💗🦅🌲🦉🌲 Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.

  11. #FuckTheRCMP - they flew these #helicopters multiple times, daily, to try & intimidate us. We had Transport Canada verify that this helicopter maneuver & 3 other ones documented at other resistance camp areas was illegal & violated federal regulations but no action was taken to punish people responsible for violations.

    This footage was taken before over 100 RCMP CIRG goons raided 4 different #ResistanceCamps.

    Voluntary RCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017 as a strictly corporate mercenaries unit in BC. Approved by #BCNDP government. The same government who has given them multiple budget increases - millions of #BCtaxpayers monies were used for that. Taxpayers monies were also used by #BCgovernment on attempts to criminalize environmental activists in BC courts. Some of the court cases are still ongoing.

    RCMP CIRG is a fully voluntary unit & RCMP who choose to join the unit get paid more than regular RCMP goons. It's all about the extra money for these colonial greedy chumps.
