On March 10th, members of Tsleil-Waututh are launching an ambitious project to stop Kinder Morgan.

Will you join?

To our dear friends and allies,

The moment to stop the dangerous Kinder Morgan pipeline and tanker project is upon us. 

Texas oil giant Kinder Morgan has been threatening to destroy Tsleil-Waututh lands, waters, culture and spirit by poisoning our territory, and wrecking the climate that sustains us all, with its dangerous Trans Mountain pipeline.

Since this pipeline was first conceived, Tsleil-Waututh members have been protecting our territory from proposed oil flowing through our lands, and tankers intruding into our Inlet. Now, we are asking you to stand with us in our defence of the lands and waters.  

Tsleil-Waututh members, spiritual leaders, and youth will be on the land practicing our culture and spirit as we have for time immemorial. We will use our presence to stop Kinder Morgan.

It is time for you to join Tsleil-Waututh members, spiritual leaders and youth and do whatever it takes to stop Kinder Morgan. Join Kwekwecnewtxw and stand with us to protect the inlet.

It will take all of us to stop this massive project.  

O’siem and Hay cha qa,

Ta’ah (Amy George), Tsleil-Waututh Elder
