Stop the Pipelines. Start the Music.
A benefit concert for Unist’ot’en Camp Healing Lodge

This event is taking place on Lkwungen territory and is proceeding with the permission of Esquimalt and Songhees Chiefs

Join us March 16th for a benefit concert for the Unist’ot’en Camp.  The event will feature a presentation from the Unist’ot’en hereditary chiefs and camp spokesperson Freda Huson, and performances from Rae Spoon, Natu Bearwolf, Betty Supple, Zoubi Arros, and Compassion Gorilla.  All funds raised go to the building of the healing lodge at the Unist’ot’en Camp.

The Unist’ot’en have sustained an unbroken relationship with their territory for thousands of years and have continued to practice their traditions in spite of intense and ongoing colonial encroachment. Today those practices include harvesting food and medicine from their territory, building a Healing Centre to address impacts of colonialism, and running many camps and workshops to share skills and knowledge. They are also currently resisting, among others, the Pacific Trails Pipelines and Coastal GasLink project, which are intended to transport fracked gas from Treaty 8 territory to LNG plants on the west coast.
