Much of the land in BC, Canada is unceded which means there was never an official agreement to sell, or give the lands over to Canada. As such, many Indigenous groups are fighting to maintain their sovereignty, the right to THEIR land, & their responsibility to protect the land.
With several pipeline construction projects happening on these unceded lands, WITHOUT the free, prior & informed consent from the respective groups whom the lands belong to, it is absolutely our job as settlers to stand with Indigenous leaders & land protectors in any way we can.
This thread has been the tiniest snapshot of this issue, and I encourage you to look into this yourself, especially if you're Canadian.
