The Winter Solstice... 🌨️❄️

As the earth rests beneath a blanket of snow, it reminds us to take this time to recuperate.

Tonight is the longest night of the year. Traditionally the Winter Solstice is a time to reflect on the past, to tell stories, and to renew ourselves for the year ahead.

Tomorrow, after its extended rest, the sun will return, and the days will gradually grow long again. But tonight, we will be following the sun’s lead and using this time to recharge.

We thank Elders Florence and Philip Paynter and Elder Bone for sharing their wisdom and guiding us through ceremony earlier this month.

The benefits of old growth trees... 🌲🌳🌴💚
Old-growth trees and forests provide crucial benefits like massive carbon storage, enhanced climate resilience (cooling, water regulation), superior habitat for rare species (due to complex structures like snags & nurse logs), improved water/air quality, rich biodiversity, and significant cultural/recreational/economic value through non-timber products and tourism. They are irreplaceable ecosystems vital for fighting climate change and supporting unique life forms that second-growth forests can't replicate, notes The Wilderness Society and National Geographic.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

In general, non-native people are not granted hunting rights on First nation lands and access is determined by the specific First Nation, Tribe, or governing body that holds the title or jurisdiction over the land. Hunting by non-Natives typically requires explicit permission and is subject to the rules and regulations established by the first nation's community.

Shout out to the Land Defenders of Fairy Creek!!
Fairy Creek Blockade (2020-2021): Against old-growth logging on Vancouver Island, this became the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history, involving extensive blockades and arrests, report Queen's University and CBC.
The Fairy Creek deferral protects almost 1,200 hectares, which is all the Crown land in the Fairy Creek watershed. The entire watershed falls within the Pacheedaht First Nation's territory.
On Vancouver Island, most old-growth forests, especially the most productive areas with giant trees (valley bottoms), are largely gone, with less than 10-20% remaining of the original, while overall productive old-growth is down to roughly a quarter or less, with significant portions still facing logging threats despite deferrals, highlighting a critical environmental loss.

The Mohawk Warrior Flag was designed by Karoniaktajeh Louis Hall in 1974. Hall was an artist, writer, and activist from Kahnawake. It was initially called the "unity flag" or "Indian flag", depicting an Indigenous man with long hair over top a yellow sunburst and red banner. This was changed in the 1980's with the man being replaced with a Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) warrior. The flag was highlighted in the media during the Oka Crisis and became a symbol of resistance for Kanien’kehá:ka people
