UPDATE:<br /><br />Our trials were adjourned from August 3rd, 2021 to Nov 15 and Dec 13th 2021. We are being tried for criminal contempt of court. The prosecution is seeking 14- 28 days in jail for the eight after being arrested in October 2020 near Trans Mountain Pipeline’s construction sites in Secwepemcúl’ecw beside Sqeq’petsin (The Thompson River)<br /><br />Those facing sentencing include; Hereditary Chief Sawsess who tried to leave the area and was stopped and detained by police. Miranda Dick, Secwepemc Matriarch who was performing ceremony. Billie Pierre from the Nlaka'pamux Nation who was violently abused by more than 8 male police officers who were not wearing masks and April Thomas, Secwepemc woman who also was taken by police as she left the site when no one was watching and who was not read her rights. In addition four settler supporters; Romilly Cavanaugh, Heather Lamoureux, Susan Bibbings and Laura Zadorozny. <br /><br />We are asking for your support to prepare for this unprecedented jurisdictional case. The colonial courts have no jurisdiction on unceded Secwepemcúl’ecw. We will continue to stand for our rights to clean water and food soveriegnty.  <br /><br /><strong>USE OF FUNDS</strong><br />Pre-Trial Expenses: <br />- Gas money and accommodation for the eight arrested land defenders to meet and prepare for their upcoming trial. We do not all live in the same area so need to travel to meet (projected cost - $3,000)<br />- Consultation from a lawyer and having each of our affidavits reviewed (projected cost - $10,000)<br /><br />Trial Expenses:<br />- Gas money and accommodation for the eight arrested land defenders during their 5-day trials (projected cost - $7,000)<br />- Gas money and accommodation for any witnesses or supporters we will be asking to join us (projected cost - $3000)<br /><br /><br /><strong>CONTEXT </strong><br /><br />The eight water defenders who were arrested on Oct 15 and 17 at the TMX drill sites in Secwepemcúl’ecw appeared before the colonial court last on March 15th. These land defenders are being charged with criminal contempt of court for breeching a colonial injunction which has no jurisdiction on unceded Indigenous land.<br /><br />On March 1, April Thomas and Miranda Dick demanded a third party adjudication to ensure that the rights of the land defenders were not being infringed upon by the colonial government. This demand was made on the grounds of the colonial government purchase of the TMX pipeline expansion project. This is a direct conflict of interest as the crown acts as judge and prosecution.<br /><br />Kukstemc to those in advance for supporting. Your witness, your prayers, your art and your time are seen, appreciated and keep us strong. We have defeated projects like these before. Together we can do it again.<br /><br />JOIN US AS WE DEFEAT THIS PIPELINE.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/55583038_1616807975590464_r.jpeg" alt="55583038_1616807975590464_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/55583038_1616807995174552_r.jpeg" alt="55583038_1616807995174552_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Secwepemc Say No to TMX Trial Support

<div>I spent Saturday night in the emergency room and I’m seeking financial contributions to help. My Elder friend of 22 years was maneuvering, with back pain and impaired vision in one eye, to get to his seat on the sky train. As he was going to sit down, a young man started yelling at him trying to take his seat. The man pulled out a 10 inch knife and stabbed my friend Norm nine times all over his body. Norm is recovering but as you can imagine, he and his children are in trauma, and he has a long road to recovery.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>In 2006 when I was defending my masters thesis, Norm and his three children, teenagers at the time, took the journey from Vancouver to Victoria to stand by my side as I presented my research. They have stood by me and always treated me as family through all of my trials, tribulations and adventures. If I ever need support, he is always there for me. My friend who has always welcomed me in his family, could have died on Saturday through a traumatic, violent attack.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Despite Norm and his family struggling financially, their generosity, thoughtfulness, care and advocacy for others is beyond compare. Family connectedness and humour are getting my loved ones through this, but they could use all of our financial support. The children and grandchildren are coming in from the island to help. They have to take time off work, take their children out of school, take transit and taxis, find additional resources to help with the grandchildren because grandpa Norm helped every day with the parenting routines, and so on. The family is deeply traumatized, and this compounds living with the impacts of residential school and daily racism, to name a few.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>My friend is a former football player, logger, and is deeply proud of his traditional Toquaht territory on the west coast of Vancouver island, and the life that he lived growing up on the land by the water. He worked as a drug and alcohol addictions counsellor and had the courage and will to counsel sex offenders. My friend Norm has helped people get through great life difficulties and has contributed to society to create positive change. He single parented his three children, who I have known since they were young. He has always given of himself for the benefit of others and now my dear friend is recovering from fighting for his life. His body is fragile and I’m scared. If you can help, it would be so much appreciated. Norm and his children have not asked for anything and would never create a go fund me asking for help. But they need it and I’m doing this for them because I love them and this experience has been traumatizing beyond our imaginations. I have received their permission to do this. <br /><br />Please reach out to me directly if you're not comfortable using this platform. Thank you for considering donating, whether it be cash, gift cards (Chatr cell provider, Superstore, Walmart), children's Christmas presents, new clothing, devices and even your thoughtful words. (His tablet and clothing were damaged in the attack.) Please know that if you know me and who I am and what I stand for, that much of who I am is thanks to my dear friend Norm and his children being in my life.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.surreynowleader.com/news/senior-stabbed-over-dispute-regarding-skytrain-seat-in-surrey/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.surreynowleader.com/news/senior-stabbed-over-dispute-regarding-skytrain-seat-in-surrey/</a>

Elder stabbing victim

<p>Hi everyone! I’m Cease Wyss, and I’m helping my dear friend Mabel who fractured her leg last week. She really needs moral and financial support to get through this challenging time. She has limited family members who are helping, but she could really use some help to hire a neighbour that she trusts, to help her keep her home clean and clear during her healing time. She is on crutches and needs to keep a clear path throughout her home. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>Mabel works as an elder support worker in the DTES and provides support to folks who need a kind elder to talk to and do basic ceremonial healing with. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>She’s fiercely independent and this injury has really been hard for her navigate, and find the proper resources in the community to get through her basic needs.  She’s an elder who has never retired, who doesn’t have any savings, and lives on her own. She has limited sick pay days and certainly not anywhere near enough to take 6-8 weeks off of work to stay home and heal, and to access the support that she requires. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>She loves to eat local, seasonal and fresh organic foods and she usually keeps her home quite tidy. She has a little balcony garden that she requires help with watering, which her neighbour and family members can help her with. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>This has been a big shift for her to adjust to.  So anything that you can help with will be greatly and humbly appreciated by her. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>She has helped so many folks with her humble and kind way of being, and the fact that as an elder she lives independently and offers support to many people she doesn’t always know, is a testament to her kindnesses and her character strength. 
</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>Thank you for taking a moment to learn about her, and whether you donate to her fundraiser or simply share this with your networks, we greatly appreciate your support.  
</p>

Mabel Nipshank healing from fractured leg

In April 2019, I broke my ankle walking towards my car, on the sidewalk. I was enroute to my contract work to share Indigenous knowledge with children in Richmond, for an arts based program. I have recently been told I require another surgery to remove the metal in my leg due to a seriously intense infection that almost killed me, and could have resulted in amputation.  I am grateful to the medical teams from the two Hospitals I am attending for surgery and the IV antibiotics treatment. I am extremely grateful to the West Vancouver Ambulatory Clinic as they do weekly care on my wound and change the tubing and other aspects of my Antibiotics IV, weekly as well. I have had to quit everything I had for planned for a total of 6 months. I gave up training Indigenous youth in Ontario in VR and I gave up a few arts and culture residencies this spring and summer. I gave up my seasonal work with Takaya Tours, which is my favourite work because it encompasses everything I love! The salty sea air and beautiful salt waters, Plant walks daily, storytelling and meeting people from so many places. Ugh. I have also had to withhold from doing anything that could cause my wound to become re-infected. That means no swimming, no canoeing, no hiking in the forest, no berry picking, and the list goes on. I’m almost healed up from this infection, but I need to undergo a second surgery to remove the metal so I can fully heal from this infection. I have been been unemployed since April. I had to move to my mom’s place to heal and in order to access homecare from my community, so as not to burden my elderly mother. I have managed to continue supporting my family despite not working, and due to most of my payments coming in anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months after I did the contract work I have been barely surviving on, and usually thrive on. I have to wait another 6-8 weeks to heal, and I’m barely surviving on my credit card, the line of credit from my community credit union and the few tiny honorariums I have received through minor short gigs I have been able to do with the injury taking so much of my energy and time to heal. I really need to catch up to my bills, as well as to continue to support my family until I get back to work in September. I finally agreed to do this as a result of finding myself really stressed and trying to not submit to depression from not being able to work at all. I usually tend to donate to everything I can, alongside supporting my community through food security projects that help others access traditional  foods, etc. I finally realized that I am out of resources to stay on top of this health situation that has continued to get worse before it got better. Anything that can help me stay on top of this will be greatly appreciated.No amount is too small. Or large. Lol Honestly, I’m not the best at asking for help, it took a number of people in my life who truly care about me to say it. I truly appreciate the support. Even words of kindness and so on. It all really helps. I just want to make it through the healing to get back to helping others! And being creative! Huy chexw a’ ...Cease
