#Indigenous #FirstNations folks who are trying to buy #TransMountain #Oil #Pipeline #Sellouts & going against #Elders #teachings & #dishonouring their #ancestors because #greed is their disease & they possess #ColonizedMinds - not thinking or planning for #7Generations #futures & I don't respect that. They're the exact same kinda #selfish & #greedy #humans that my family didn't tolerate. My fam torched sellout leaders homes. Painful to see sellouts here, falling into greed pits.

@akurjata My biologist friend, in Nelson, who works in forestry & is against cutting old growth forests has been trying to help Indigenous in BC to save more of temperate inland rainforest for yrs. I brought her out to Fairy Creek blockade with me, last year too. She specializes in forest entomology.
