The Tiny House Warriors: Our Land is Home is a part of a mission
to stop the Trans Mountain pipeline from crossing unceded Secwepemc
Territory. Ten tiny houses will be built and placed strategically
along the 518 km Trans Mountain pipeline route to assert Secwepemc
Law and jurisdiction and block access to this pipeline.
This is one of the most serious threats to our Territories. We
have never provided and will never provide our collective free,
prior and informed consent – the minimal international standard – to
the Trans Mountain Pipeline Project.
The Tiny House Warriors are a group of Secwepemc land and water defenders who for the past year, have been gathered in a new village of tiny houses on Secwepemc territory near Blue River. Their village site is along the proposed pipeline route and just across from a planned thousand man camp for pipeline construction workers and they are insisting that they will not allow either the man-camp or the pipeline to be built on their territory.
“The Trudeau government does not have the right to put a pipeline through unceded Secwepemc land,” says Kanahus Manuel, a spokesperson for the Tiny House Warriors. “To try to legitimize this illegal act, Canada uses what legal scholars call its “cunning misinterpretation of “consent” which is inconsistent with Indigenous, constitutional and international law.””
Tiny House Warriors has recently established a second village site at Moonbeam Creek, approximately an half an hour drive from Valemount, BC. It is the entrance to this second Tiny House Warriors village site that two Secwepemc Land Defenders were violently arrested on the morning of October 19, 2019. The violent arrest led to Kanahus Manuel's wrist to be broken. The Secwepemc were held in prison for 3 days and it took nearly 12 hours to receive the required medical care and legal services.
