Missing Her: No Man Camps. Land Back Series

Across the Pacific Northwest, Indigenous land & water protectors are fighting back against the threat of oil & gas exports through their traditional lands. From Wet’suwet’en territory to the Klamath River and beyond, these battles to protect communities from the harm of the fossil fuel industry are connected.

Speakers on the webinar include Ka’ila Farrell-Smith (Klamath-Modoc Artist), Kanahus Manuel (Secwepemc and Ktunaxa) from Tiny House Warriors, Brook Thompson (Yurok and Karuk), Dakota Case (Puyallup Water Warriors), Thomas Joseph (Hoopa), and Sleydo’ aka Molly Wickham from Gidimt’en Checkpoint. The panel will share stories from their struggles against the fossil fuel industry & colonization, examine the connections between these battles throughout the region, and tell you how to take action in solidarity with their communities.
