Resisting Colonialism in Gitxsan Territory

June 21, 2021

Kolin Sutherland-Wilson joins Kai Nagata to explain the history behind the latest standoff over old-growth logging – this time up north in the Skeena watershed.

Kolin’s house group, Wilp Git’luuhl’um’hetxwit, have never ceded their land or consented to clearcutting. Yet the province is already taking steps to send in the RCMP.

Kai and Kolin talk about how this fits into a long, unbroken history of corporate resource theft on Indigenous lands, facilitated by the Crown. And Kolin lays out his vision for what the Git’luuhl’um’hetxwit are building instead.
