After a year of relative peace, we have received word from what would have been the developer at Landback Lane. They intend to reapply for their injunction. Image
We are taking this very seriously. We see it as an open threat against our people and our lands. The violence they can wield with the help of the courts and cops is disgusting. Image
On March 22 Foxgate will be looking to schedule a time with the court to have this process restarted. This same process led to 50 people being arrested, saw us get shot at, tasered and beaten. We watched as our loved ones dragged were from their cars, swarmed with brutality Image
This has been an outright failure, when it comes to the federal or provincial governments coming to the table with anything that looks like gaining the consent of our nations.

There is a path toward peace. Courts, cops, guns and jails are not it. Image
We have done what we can to replenish the land. We have planted trees and gardens with the help of so many. This is Haudenosaunee land and it will remain that for our future generations. #landback #1492LandBackLane Image

I'm at Fairy Creek right now, seeing people with more determination than most, standing their ground in the most peaceful of means.

How many times do we have to see this as the narrative? Indigenous people and allies brutalized for making a peaceful stand to protect our lands and waters.
Across Turtle Island, injunctions are used as a tool to continue the old story of pushing us from our lands, so that trees, rivers, plants and animals can be turned into profit. Image

This is what real Nation to Nation looks like, Haudenosaunee and Wet'suwet'en family standing together against the colonial violence and corporate greed that threatens the safety and well-being of future generations.
The Wet'suwet'en have called on their Allies across Turtle Island to stand with them. They need boots on the ground, people in the streets, folks amplifying on social media, wherever you are, whatever you can do can make a difference.
Forcing Indigenous People from their lands is an act of genocide. When we stand together, we can fight back against the violence Canada brings to our homelands at the end of a barrel.

Onkwehonwe Nations have held onto our own laws and upheld our responsibility to care for the lands and waters. We've faced wars, residential schools, and MMIWG. Through our resistance to colonial violence, our languages, our laws and responsibilities have survived.
Today, Land Defenders and Water Protectors stand in the way of colonial development that exploits lands all for the profit of industry. This unwanted development poisons water, destroys the homes of animals, and kills plants, destroying the Creation our future generations need.
All of this colonial infrastructure maintains exploitation. Roads, highways and railways that crisscross our lands will not be used to inflict more violence on our people.

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council restated their support for Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs on the West coast.

Across Turtle Island, Onkwehonwe have faced generations of colonial genocide perpetuated against our nations.
Our families have stood together in solidarity to protect our lands, waters and cultures, unity has been the strength of our success.
I'm proud to stand alongside my family to uphold our hereditary and inherent right to care for plants, animals, lands and waters in the ways that have been passed down to us for generations.
