Indigenous Resistance to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion:
No Borders Media feature interview with Kanahus & Mayuk Manuel
-> Listen, download and share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/kanahusmayuk
On this episode of No Borders Media, we speak to two Indigenous warriors on the frontlines of resistance to pipelines and resource extraction: Kanahus Manuel and Mayuk Manuel of the Tiny House Warriors and the Secwepemc Women Warriors. They have actively resisted the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project, which would move tar sands crude and refined oil from Alberta to the British Columbia coast.
Just outside the injunction zone around the proposed pipeline expansion at Blue River, British Columbia, north of Kamloops, Kanahus and Mayuk speak to No Borders Media by phone and address several topics including: an update about current opposition efforts against 518 km of Trans Mountain pipeline corridor on Secwepemc territory, the impact of man camps used to construct the expansion, the use of wheeled tiny houses as a tactic of resistance, a recent symposium in celebration of the life and ideas of Arthur Manuel, ongoing criminalization of Land Defenders, the various flawed consultation processes to try to force through pipeline approval, and solidarity between Indigenous land defence struggles across Turtle Island.
