βI wish we had our territory backβ: Influx of float homes in Clayoquot Sound forces Tla-o-qui-aht families to go farther for traditional foods: https://www.hashilthsa.com/news/2025-03-19/i-wish-we-had-our-territory-back-influx-float-homes-clayoquot-sound-forces-tla-o
Just sewed the buttons on this bad boy yesterday. Love steeking so this was great fun.
Fast forward to 1993 and blockades had expanded to defend all intact areas of Clayoquot Sound. More than 800 people were arrested including this writer and environmentalist Tzeporah Berman, the woman who would later marry me on a summer solstice, at a remote beach on Vargas Island followed by a feast of Joe Martin-fire-smoked salmon.
Please do not ever forget us.
We fought for you & for our #Oldgrowth #forests & #environment. We are still fighting! I was first arrested at #Clayoquot Sound. It was my very first #environmental #blockade. I have been arrested multiple times since. I refuse to stop fighting for #MotherEarth.
This is a lifelong commitment for many of us longtime activists.

The #RCMP #StateViolence was increased on us at FC, because RCMP #CIRG was only created in 2017. After multilple huge #Indigenous stand-offs against govt assisted ecocide on unceded native lands for over 3 decades in #BritishColumbia. #RCMPCIRG is a voluntary #CorporateMercenaries unit, funded by public #Canadian taxpayers' monies & it should be #ABOLISHED.

30 years after Clayoquot Sound protests, old-growth logging continues unabated: B.C. conservation group
"Forest management in region since so-called War of the Woods should be model for rest of B.C., critics say."

The Sierra Club of B.C. says the logging of large old trees in verdant, bio-diverse forests on Vancouver Island has continued mostly unabated in the 30 years since one of the biggest acts of civil disobedience in Canada.
