Unceded Likht'samisyu Territory, Houston, B.C. -- Coastal Gaslink (CGL) has removed all heavy machinery from the Wet'suwet'en territory of Parrot Lake following the seizure and decommissioning of an excavator by Likht'samisyu Hereditary Chief Dsta'hyl.
Likht'samisyu is one of five clans of the Wet'suwet'en nation, each of which have rejected all fossil fuel pipeline projects slated to cross unceded Wet'suwet'en lands. In January 2020, Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs (including several Likht'samisyu chiefs) issued an eviction notice to Coastal Gaslink and its employees, resulting in nationwide solidarity actions and the immediate eviction of Coastal Gaslink workers from Wet'suwet'en lands.

MOTHERS TELL MCGILL:
'DON’T MESS WITH OUR LAND!'

Statement by Mohawk Mothers

Allegations of unmarked graves of Indigenous children left by MK-Ultra psychiatric  experiments on the site of the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University lead the  kanien'kehá:ka kahnistensera (mohawk mothers), sovereign caretakers of the unceded  territory of Montreal, to block the project of re-purposing the Royal Victoria Hospital, and  to reclaim a forensic and archaeological investigation on the site.  

Tionni’tio’tià:kon (Montreal), Quebec, October 18, 2021. The kanien'kehá:ka kahnistensera (mohawk mothers),  caretakers of the quenondah (two mountains/mount royal) by virtue of their connection with mother earth,  demand the immediate suspension of all reconstruction plans for the Royal Victoria Hospital and Allan  Memorial Institute sites on the campus of McGill University, for the following reasons: 1) The site is unceded kanien'kehá:ka territory. Only the kahnistensera can give permission to do anything on this land; 2) The site contains archaeological remains from the original precolonial Iroquoian village; 3) The grounds of the Allan  Memorial Institute must be investigated for potential unmarked graves and proof of atrocities committed during  the MK-Ultra program, between 1954 and 1963.
