Will George

Swaysən (Will George) is a member of Tsleil-Waututh Nation. He has led various movements and actions to stop construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion in his territories. The Salish Sea, home to his people for thousands of years, is facing the collapse of Orca, salmon and spirit due to mass industrialization and resource extraction. Swaysən urges us all to live with nəc̓əmat tə šxwqweləwən ct (one heart, one mind), to reconnect with each other and our planet, and to protect all life now and into the future.

Kwekwecnewtxw – Coast Salish Watch House

Kwekwexnewtxw “A place to watch from” – this traditional Watch House structure was erected by Coast Salish elders and members to watch for enemies/protect communities from danger.

Tiny House Warriors

The Tiny House Warriors are part of a mission to stop the Trans Mountain pipeline from crossing unceded Secwepemc Territory. They are building many tiny houses and placing them strategically along the Trans Mountain Pipeline route. By building these Tiny Houses, they are asserting their collective Secwepemc responsibility and jurisdiction to their lands and waters.

Each tiny house will provide housing to Secwepemc families facing a housing crisis due to deliberate colonial impoverishment. Each home will eventually be installed with off-the-grid solar power. The Tiny House Warrior movement will be the start of re-establishing village sites and asserting Secwepemc authority over their unceded Territories.
