Warrior up!

We are honored and pleased to announce the second Totem Pole Journey, which will be taking place this August. The Journey will connect communities all along the rail line from the Bakken oil fields and Powder River Basin coal mines, through the Salish Sea and up into Canada’s tar sands.

The journey to bring attention to the adverse effects on Native and non-Native communities in the path of the coal, Bakken oil, and tarsands oil. The 18-food totem pole, carved by Jewell James, will begin its journey on the west coast in mid-August and culminate in early September when it will be raised at Peace River, in the heart of the tarsands territory in Alberta. Please show support in any way you can.

Kwel ‘hoy: “We Draw the Line”. NO COAL TRAINS!

Starting 18 September 2013 in the Powder River Basin, Lummi community members from the House of Tears Carvers will follow the rail route for proposed coal shipments through Cherry Point near Bellingham WA. They will gather people together in a series of ceremonies designed to highlight the risks posed to all of our communities by coal export from the West Coast.
