In September of last year, members of my Secwepemc Nation caught national attention when we constructed the first symbol of on-the-land resistance and demanded that our rights under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples be respected. The Tiny House Warriors, a grassroots Secwepemc group, are placing 10 hand-built tiny houses
on our traditional territory directly in Kinder Morgan's path. The
first three of an intended ten tiny houses have already been built.
Now, Kwantlen First Nation (also in British Columbia) will build a healing lodge in memory of ancestors lost to the violence of colonization that will also be placed in Kinder Morgan's path. Meanwhile, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, Coldwater Indian Band, Upper Nicola Band and Squamish Nation are all fighting this pipeline in court.
