We're honored to be on traditional #Lummi lands in #BlaineWA for Netse Mot: One Mind for Xw'ullemy, an event to show that no border divides us, we are of one mind, when it come to protecting our shared home — the #SalishSea. Watch the livestream: facebook.com/OurSacredSea/p…
“The #SalishSea flows as one sea. The salmon, our qwe’lhol’mechen #orcas, our kinship ties, our traditional cultures and languages, do not recognize the line between Canada and the United States. We are all connected and must work together.” Jay Julius, #Lummi Chairman
“Our work is to protect and heal. We protect by protesting projects like the #TransMountainPipeline and #RobertsBank in Canada...we heal by spiritually feeding qwe’lhol’mechen #orcas and working to make them whole..." Raynell Morris, #Lummi elder

Ever heard that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a climate-friendly fuel? Well, you’ve been sold a lie. LNG, made up of methane, is one of the fastest growing threats to our climate. RT to expose the truth about #LNG. #bcpoli#cdnpoli
