Rueben George, Matt Remle, and Paul Chiyokten Wagner are speaking on this powerful panel beginning at The Salish Sea Assembly in Seattle.

Rueben George, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, founder of Protectors of the Salish Sea, began the panel.

"We are revolutionaries and we want to keep it that way. We don't want to become soft."

Listen to this powerful panel. They are speaking on the sorrow from residential schools and being imprisoned for defending the water and land from pipelines and oil tankers. There is the heartbreak of missing and murdered young girls, the man camps and the darkness of the dead birds in the waste ponds of the Alberta tarsands.

"We are in the grieving stages for our land."

Remembering being at Standing Rock, now, "We need help." On the frontlines, there is a struggle for fishing rights, defense of the land from pipelines, and the defense of water from oil takers.

Live from Seattle.

"What is the water, if not our elder."

Doreen is the director of the Bosa Centre for Film and Animation at Capilano University, and the first Indigenous woman to head a major academic filmmaking training institution in Canada.

Doreen's interview is followed by Govinda's interview with DT (Troy) Cochrane, an economist. DT was born and raised on a ranch in Treaty 4 territory. He currently lives with his children and partner in Peterborough, Ontario, which is part of Treaty 20. DT’s research focuses on corporate power and its impact on the well-being of people and planet. He has published on the role of Indigenous resistance in pipeline valuation, which draws on the economic insights of Arthur Manuel.
