One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spending one day at Voice For the Voiceless Camp by the Xwisten River was very inspirational. I was fortunate to visit and speak with Christine Jack and her family about the importance of the camp as a site of both resistance against harmful logging practices and also a site of healing through land reoccupation. Witnessing the water stewardship of the St'at'imc people, I thank the few people of St'at'imc ancestry I had met, for allowing me to be on their territory.
