Carole Geller Human Rights Award 2021: Kanahus Manuel & Tiny House Warriors - On November 9, 2021, Kanahus Manuel and the Tiny House Warriors were awarded the Carole Geller Human Rights Award for their role as Secwe̓pemc land defenders, taking action to protect their unceded lands - Secwepemcúĺecw. The Tiny House Warriors are a group of grassroots Indigenous leaders who, under the authority of Secwe̓pemc law, have been building tiny houses along the 518km Trans Mountain pipeline route, as a way to stop the pipeline, which poses serious risks to the health, safety and well-being of Secwe̓pemc lands, waters and people – especially women and girls. - The Carole Geller Award is given periodically to an individual or group that is involved in a particularly important human rights struggle. The award is intended to assist recipients in their continued work in organizing for social justice and human rights and is named for Carole Geller - one of Canada's pioneers in advancing the cause of human rights. - Carole Geller began her work in the human rights field in 1967 when she was the President of the Manitoba Voice of Women. She became the first Director of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission in 1973, where she promoted stronger human rights protections, affirmative action policies, and equal pay for work of equal value. In 1985 Ms. Geller became the first Executive Director of Manitoba's Pay Equity Bureau. Ms. Geller died of cancer in November 1987 and this award was started in her honour. This is the seventh time the award has been given. - Kanahus Manuel and the other Tiny House Warriors are experiencing surveillance, harassment, violence, and criminalization for their defence of human rights. It is critical to not only recognize their struggle and their important human rights work, but also support them financially as the criminalization of human rights defenders comes with significant legal costs. This award comes with $15,000 to support them and their rising legal costs. - Award Committee Members: Shelagh Day, Kathleen Ruff and Murray Dobbin (rest in peace Murray). - More information about the award and past winners: https://www.povertyandhumanrights.org/2021/11/the-carole-geller-award/ - More information about Tiny House Warriors: http://www.tinyhousewarriors.com/ - Go Fund Me page for Tiny House Warriors: https://www.gofundme.com/f/legal-defense-fund-for-tiny-house-warriors - Tiny House Warriors contact: tinyhousewarriors@gmail.com - Kanahus Manuel Twitter handle = KanahusFreedom - Link to the shorter YouTube (video) version here https://youtu.be/x4cCQiUP2CU - - - - - - FOLLOW ME ON TIKTOK @pp2cool FOLLOW ME ON IG @pam_palmater FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @Pam_Palmater - - - Please note: Nothing in this podcast/video advocates for violence on Indigenous territories. - Please also note: The information contained in this podcast/video should not be misconstrued as legal, financial or medical advice, nor should it be relied on as such.

Below the Radar has partnered with the Or Galley to bring you recordings of the Gas Imaginary Conversations series. This is the second of two talks from The Gas Imaginary, presented by the Or Gallery. This event was recorded virtually on Dec. 5, 2020. In this panel, Rachel O’Reilly, Tania Willard and Kanahus Manuel—with moderation by Denise Ryner—discuss the ongoing challenges of asserting land rights and the protection of water from each of their respective contexts. The speakers address the role of artistic practices and visual culture in making such struggles resonate with communities, both at home and across distance. Tania Willard, Secwepemc Nation, works as an artist and curator within the shifting ideas of contemporary and traditional as it relates to cultural arts and production. She often engages bodies of knowledge and skills that are conceptually linked to her interest in intersections between Aboriginal and other cultures. Her curatorial work includes Beat Nation: Art Hip Hop and Aboriginal Culture (http://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca/the_exhibitions/exhibit_beat_nation.html), a national touring exhibition first presented at Vancouver Art Gallery in 2011 as well as residencies at grunt gallery and Kamloops Art Gallery. She is currently assistant professor in Creative Studies at University of British Columbia Okanagan (Kelowna BC). She also founded and operates BUSH gallery, a conceptual space for land-based art and action led by Indigenous artists. Kanahus Manuel belongs to the Secwepemc Nation and founded the Tiny House Warrior movement as part of her ongoing work as an Indigenous water and land defender. She is also a member of the Secwepemc Women’s Warrior Society. Her family has led the struggle for rights and sovereignty in Secwepemcul’ecw (territory of the Secwepemc people) for generations. Her late father Arthur Manuel, a former Secwepemc chief and residential school survivor, was an author and global champion for Indigenous rights and title in Canada and abroad. Her late grandfather George Manuel was the second president of the National Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of First Nations) and founding president of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples. 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 In British Columbia. 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.

David P Ball / Vancouver Coop Radio - The Vancouver Police Department has warned of public safety consequences of City Council refusing their requests to boost budget by millions. Instead, last week councillors froze police spending at last year's levels. On Sunday, a group of community organizers in Vancouver hosted a virtual teach-in event to strategize their next steps for the local "defund the police" movement. "All across Turtle Island, Black, Indigenous and communities of colour are all dreaming of abolishing the police," said the online event's host, Vancouver musician Tonya Aganaba, during the event. "I know I'm dreaming of abolishing the police every single night. "We're dreaming of building powerful structures, organizations and resistance strategies to build a society where all communities and members can grow and thrive … We are excited to be a part of a conversation about what we can build here in Vancouver." The budget decision went against the city staff's own recommendation to cut the police budget along with most other areas of the city budget, in the midst of the pandemic's debilitating economic shortfall. But the Vancouver Police Board said despite keeping funding the same, costs had risen meaning they would be short funding for over 60 officers next year. "The Vancouver Police Board has serious concerns regarding the decision," Board chair Barj Dhahan said on Dec. 9, "… and actually results in a $5.7 million shortfall. "A shortfall of this magnitude is extremely challenging, in particular during a global pandemic, where the police department is facing unprecedented stress in ensuring public safety in Vancouver." Speakers at the "defund the police" online event included Indigenous land defenders who spoke about police enforcement of injunctions against them, and the history of police abuse of Indigenous people's rights in B.C. and across Canada. "Anyone living in the cities, or in the rural areas, we're harassed — our safety is violated," said Mayek Manuel with Tiny House Warriors in the B.C. Interior, which is doing "direct action" to block the Trans Mountain pipeline. "Some of the things that's going to engage the police is the direct action we participate in. It does get really scary because we feel at any time we could be shot … Both RCMP and vigilantes could come shoot us dead." Desmond Cole also spoke, he's an activist and author of "The Skin We're In" and encouraged Vancouver organizers to continue pushing city council on the issue. "What I'm seeing that what's effective and urgent is the local stuff, because the police are funded by your municipality," Cole said. "Even if the municipality tells you, 'Well we get that money from the province or we get it from the feds,' they're the ones passing the budget, they're the ones controlling the dollars … They have a lot more power than they want you to believe." --- On the show today we also talk with journalist and academic Gordon Katic. The executive producer of Cited Podcast talks about his new show Darts & Letters, from public intellectuals to populism, Big Pharma's opioid decisions & social change ideas.

it's the final episode of the Unsettling Canada series of conversations led by Colinda Clyne and her team. This evening, Colinda welcomes special guest, Kanahus Manuel, Art Manuel's daughter, land defender, creator of Tiny House Warriors

0:08 – Across what's called “Canada,” First Nations peoples are fighting for their land, water and way of life as multibillion-dollar corporations attempt to build pipeline projects on unceded territories. Members of the Wet'suwet'en Nation are resisting the Coastal GasLink pipeline, facing arrests while defending their ancestral territories. We speak with Molly Wickham, the spokesperson for Gidimt'en Clan, and Kanahus Manuel (@KanahusFreedom), who is from the Secwepemc and Ktunaxa Nations of the south-central interior of what's called British Columbia. Manuel is a member of the activist group Tiny House Warriors, which is rejecting the Trans Mountain pipeline. Click here to find out more about the Unist'ot'en Camp, which is a coordinated resistance to a trio of Canadian pipelines. 0:34 – Why does the Department of Homeland Security list climate activists alongside white supremacists and mass murderers in its internal documents about extremism? Journalist Adam Federman (@adamfederman), who broke the story, joins us along with Lauren Regan, executive director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center (@CLDC) in Eugene, Oregon. The Civil Liberties Defense Center provides legal support to environmental defenders and is representing activists arrested in 2016 for manually turning off pipeline valves to stop the flow of tar sands oil into the U.S. from Canada. 0:54 – Ever since endangered Gray Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, they have thrived and spread throughout the West, including in California's Lassen and Plumas counties. In 2018 a Gray Wolf known as OR-59 was shot and killed in Northern California.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the incident and has offered a $2,500 reward for information leading to the shooter. KPFA's Vic Bedoian reports from Fresno. 1:08 – Palestinians are reacting furiously to President Trump's Middle East “peace” plan, and thousands have taken to the streets to reject the policies. The plan offers Palestinians no sovereignty, retains Israel's security control, rejects a Palestinian “right of return” and furthers Israel's illegal settlements. KPFA correspondent Rami Almegheri reports from Gaza and speaks with protesters. 1:15 – Historian and Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi has a new book out this week: The Hundred Years' War On Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017. He says President Trump's Middle East “peace” plan is the work of “two miscreants” — Trump, under impeachment, and Netanyahu, recently indicted — and that it flies in the face of international law and the rights of Palestinians. 1:34 – The FBI has arrested San Francisco's head of the Department of Public Works, Mohammed Nuru in a widespread corruption probe. Tim Redmond (@timredmondsf), a political and investigative reporter in San Francisco for more than 30 years and the editor of 48hills.org, explains the investigation. 1:43 – Mitch Jeserich (@MitchJeserich), host of Letters and Politics, gives an update on impeachment. KPFA is broadcasting impeachment proceedings every day live from 10 a.m. until the evening. The post Wet'suwet'en land defenders rise up against Canadian pipeline projects as US gov't labels environmental activists as “extremists”; Plus, Rashid Khalidi on Palestinian furor over Trump's “peace” plan appeared first on KPFA.

This week, we feature two segments on the episode. First, a brief chat with Duncan of Perilous Chronicle, a site documenting prisoner resistance since from 2010 til today in the so-called U.S. & Canada. More on that project can be found at perilouschronicle.com and you can find them on twitter as @perilousprisons. Then, we spoke with Kanahus Freedom, from the Secwepemc  and Ktunaxa nations, who is involved in the Tiny House Warriors struggle against the Trans Mountain Pipeline threatening the sovereignty and health of unceded Secwepemc land. Kanahus is also decolonization activist and a mother. We talk about birthing and parenting outside of the scope of Canadian colonial government, the role of construction “man camps” in genocide, and how to help struggle against TMX. You can learn more about her imprisoned husband Orlando Watley (Elk Bone) by visiting https://freeorlandowatley.org/, as well as a video of Elk Bone and Kanahus's wedding in prison. You can learn more about the case that her twin sister, Mayuk, and others are facing and more by visiting their nations website, https://www.secwepemculecw.org/ Kanahus also contributed the essay "Decolonization: The frontline struggle" to the book "Whose Land Is It Anyway: A Manual for Decolonization." Here is Kanahus reading the words of her father, Art Manuel, in marking 150 years of resistance to the Canadian state. The Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX) will play a role in the wider genocide of indigenous people through the proliferation of so-called "Man Camps" as well as destroying the integrity and health of indigenous health. Some of these topics are touched on in the recently published Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). The pipeline is now being pushed through by the Canadian Government of Justin Trudeau, announced within a week of the widely publicized Final Report located above. Announcements Sean Swain Anarchist prisoner Sean Swain recently got most of his items sent to him (albeit many damaged) from the jailers in Ohio where he was held for most of the last 28 years, which is a partial success. He still hasn't gotten the items he's bought and paid for on the JPay digital account that handles his emails, and other digital media. So, if you used to email with Sean and haven't heard from him for a while, check out his website for his current number and drop him a line as he likely doesn't have your address or past messages anymore, until people pressure JPay to transfer property from his old JPay account number to his new number. This includes nearly $1,000 in digital music, purchased and held online in a way similar to purchasing online from Apple music, only from this company that profits from prisoners and their loved ones. Also, anyone writing to Sean Swain should know that the Virginia rules for snail mail say that he can only receive up to 3 pages front and back (whether letters or photocopies) in an envelope, so if you've been writing him and getting mail turned back, consider sending more envelopes full of smaller letters! Protect Mauna Kea You may have recently seen news coverage of protesters, largely Indigenous and elder, opposing the construction of a Thirty Meter Telescope, or TMT, on Mauna Kea, a mountain on the Big Island of occupied Hawaii. This mountain is over a million years old and, when measured from its underwater base, is the tallest mountain on the planet. The university of California and University of Hawaii are currently attempting to build this TMT on the land, and Indigenous people along with students of both universities have been resisting this and similar efforts. This is just one instance in the long project of settler colonialism, 14 telescopes have been built on the Mauna from the years 1968 and 2002, efforts which have threatened the stability of the ecosystem and harmed a place of great spiritual significance for the Indigenous people of Hawaii. The people were not consulted in any part of this development process and have been resisting these construction efforts at every point from the earliest days. The most recent of these, the TMT, would dig a total of 7 stories down into the mountain, contaminating a sacred water source and disturbing the burial places of countless people. The current efforts against the TMT are already being likened to the resistance at Standing Rock, and over a dozen people have already been arrested by cops protecting the interests of the state and the university. As it stands now, it was stated that construction on the TMT would begin, and the Governor of Hawaii has declared a so called “state of emergency” in response to the defense of the mountain. Extra police and National Guard have been brought to the mountain to attempt to quell this resistance. Now more than ever, solidarity with those fighting for their sacred lands is paramount!

He was moved around and put into solitary for this call and for writing about witnessing guards allow a mentally distressed prisoner to burn himself alive in a cell. Shine White has been moved and could probably use some caring mail. His new address is:: Joseph Stewart #0802041 22385 Mcgrits Bridge Rd Laurinburg NC 28352 Kinshasa Cox Kevin (Kinshasa) Cox, #1217063, is a Mentor and Student with the W.L.Nolen Mentorship Program, and also a party member with the New Afrikan Black Panther Party/Prison Chapter. He's been locked up in the 'hole' for what seems to be a contrived charge to endanger Mr Cox's safety and throw him into the hole. By way of backstory, it seems that Mr Cox's door was malfunctioning and CO's went over to check it. After securing the door, Officer Ricker attempted to manufacture evidence of Mr. Cox attempting to assault the CO, an incident that would have been caught on tape. Instead of check the security footage, admin is taking Officer Ricker's claim of an attempted assault and has stuck Mr. Kevin “Kinshasa” Cox in segregation. It is requested that listeners concerned with Mr. Cox's access to due process and safety contact the following NC and Scotland, Correctional Institution officials to lodge complaints and check on the safety off Mr Kevin Cox. More details will be released soon as we get them.

In Part 2 of my interview with warrior woman Kanahus Freedom Manuel, she shares with us the importance of defending native lands and waters from the destruction of the extractive industry. She also acknowledges all the warriors all over Turtle Island doing this work for the benefit of all of us. They do this work at great risk to their own personal safety and freedom. Below is a link to the Tiny House Warriors project she mentioned: http://tinyhousewarriors.com/ (pic from Kanahus FB) If you would like more information about these issues, you can check out my website at www.pampalmater.com If you would like to support my work, here is the link to my Patreon account: www.patreon.com/pampalmater

No Borders Media presents an exclusive interview with Indigenous warrior Kanahus Manuel, in the aftermath of the recent Canada Federal Court of Appeal decision to quash approval of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline project. The pipeline, which would move tar sands crude and refined oil from Alberta to the British Columbia Coast, has been actively opposed by diverse groups, and by varied means, including civil disobedience and direct action. The heart of the resistance has been Indigenous nations in the path of the proposed pipeline. Kanahus is active with both the Secwepemc Women Warriors and the Tiny House Warriors in resisting the Trans Mountain pipeline. For many years, she has organized against corporate exploitation of the lands of her people, including the Sun Peaks ski resort, Imperial Metals, as well as the Mount Polley mine. In this exclusive interview, the first one she has given since the Federal Court of Appeal decision, Kanahus both responds to the recent legal victory against the pipeline, and provides context and analysis about ongoing grassroots resistance to destructive resource extraction projections. She speaks to us from beside the Blue River, on the path of the proposed pipeline. This interview was recorded on September 1, 2018 by Jaggi Singh for No Borders Media. ----- No Borders Media (Toronto/Montreal) fb: www.facebook.com/NoBordersMediaNetwork soundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/NoBordersMedia twitter: https://twitter.com/NoBordersMedia contact: NoBordersMediaNetwork@gmail.com
