A pair of Indigenous land defenders locked themselves to equipment at a fossil fuel pumping station in British Columbia on Saturday, vowing to continue resisting a government-owned oil pipeline that is harming the climate, the environment, and First Nations peoples whose unceded lands it traverses.
The pipeline protesters self-described on social media as “accomplices” of the Braided Warriors and Tiny House Warriors locked themselves to a crane at Trans Mountain Corporation’s Blue River pumping station.
The Trans Mountain Pipeline which is owned by the Canadian government through subsidiary Trans Mountain Corporation carries crude oil from the tar sands of Alberta to the British Columbian coast. It is widely considered the world’s dirtiest oil.
