Dear PAOV
As a RAVEN supporter, you understand what’s at stake with tankers and oil barges plying Indigenous waters along the Pacific coast. Heiltsuk Nation’s groundbreaking case aims to establish Aboriginal title to the seabed and foreshore in the spill area, toughen marine safety protocols and strengthen Indigenous governance over territory that has been kept pristine since time out of mind.
As drums ring out within the cedar walls of the grand Big House — the first to be raised in this central coastal community in 150 years — the Nation is embodying a spirit of resilience and protection strong enough to overcome even the wicked challenges we all face in this time of climate emergency.
The Heiltsuk Week of Action is wrapping up and we’re still $4k away from our goal. Be part of uplifting and honouring this historic moment. Donate: https://fundraise.raventrust.com/give/152715/#!/donation/checkout

RAVEN
