The Unist'ot'en Camp is an Indigenous homestead located in the far north west of so-called Canada, where the people (Unist'ot'en), who have always lived there, are occupying and utilizing their traditional territory, as they have for centuries.

Numerous companies, including Chevron and TransCanada, are illegally encroaching on the Unist'ot'en's territory, attempting to push forward a proposed pipeline project that threatens the Unist'ot'en's traditional territories, clean water, and generations to come. At this time, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's presence is forcing the camp to remain on high alert to protect this land from Chevron and TransCanada’s destruction.

At this report back, two supporters of Unist'ot'en Camp will screen films about the camp. Artwork and CDs will be available for sale to raise funds for the camp. Discussion is very welcome and we hope to hear from people in the Bay Area, on Ohlone Territories -- who are working to fight environmental racism, resource extraction, and colonialism -- to build connections and solidarity!

We will also hear about upcoming events to protest the canonization of Junipero Serra and more. This event is being hosted on Ohlone homelands.
