Indigenous Peoples and Allies Fight Against Incursion of Canadian Police
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Canada, solidarity actions took place across the country as Canadian
police continued their raids on Wet'suwet'en land in British Columbia.
Indigenous land defenders are fighting the construction of Trans
Canada's 400-mile, $4.7 billion Coastal Gas Link pipeline. At least 21
people have been arrested since the raids started Thursday. This is a
land defender confronting armed police officers.

Land defender: "We are here for humanity, for life! We are unarmed! We
are peaceful! You are killers! You are genocidal maniacs! You have your
guns pointed at us!"
