#NuuchaNulth #Tseshaht #Hupacasath leaders in Port Alberni were instrumental in the rights movement in Canada.

"Eneas said at the time he was on the phone regularly with his friend George Watts… They wanted to see if the RCMP would show up for this fake protest at a bridge in Port Alberni, B.C. Eneas said Watts and a group of community members waited on a ridge overlooking the bridge that afternoon to see what would happen. "

Today's sunset over Arbutus Ridge in #portalberni #nuuchanulth #tseshaht

Only 20 or so more days of it moving down the ridge line....

#ThrowbackThursday
Warming up one of the #Indigenous drums that I've been gifted in the recent 10 years. All my other gifted drums prior to past decade were stolen by RCMP colonial terrorists at past protest raids. I only have one #handmade #deerskin #drum left from the three that were gifted to me during the last decade. One was broken by hereditary Namgis Chief Alfred on past wild salmon flotilla & another was stolen from me, by RCMP CIRG, on a past roadside support camp raid near Gitxsan territory.
