Coast Salish Nations Join ForcesTo Protect the Salish Sea From Tar Sands Oil
Powerful and Unifying words from Sun Dance Chief Rueben George, Tsleil-Waututh Nation at the Coast Salish Canoe Gathering Celebration to Protect the Salish Sea from Tar Sands Oil! The Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations formally joined forces at this Historic Canoe Gathering with the support of other Coast Salish First Nations.
Using Coast Salish Ceremonial and Legal Protocol that has governed their unceded lands and waters, since time immemorial, formal and spiritual notice was respectfully and prayerfully given to Kinder Morgan that their proposed expansion of Tar Sands Pipe Lines and Tankers will not be allowed on the unceded waters and territories on and surrounding the Burrard Inlet and the Salish Sea!

It truly was a special day and I thank you for inviting me to witness it, Thank you Brother Rueben for your wise words, the Chiefs of Tsleil Waututh and Squamish Nation and all that attended this historic gathering. Together and in unity we can bring an end to the wanton destruction of our Mother Earth.
