MOUNT ROBSON — The fight by some indigenous groups to stop the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion goes to Mount Robson today. The Tiny House Warriors and the Secwepemc Women Warrior Society plan to erect one of their tiny houses at the entrance to Mount Robson Provincial Park this afternoon. Spokesperson Kanahus Manuel says her people continue to harvest traditional foods in the area, and the headwaters of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers are critical to the survival of the Secwepemc way of life.
The Society has plans to build ten tiny houses in the path of the pipeline expansion. While many Secwepemc Nations have reached agreement with Kinder Morgan to allow the pipeline expansion to proceed, the Warriors Society is a group who remain opposed.
