42. It Stops Here: Rueben George in Conversation (VWF)

At the Vancouver Writers Festival

Rueben George is Sun Dance Chief, a member of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation (TWN), and manager of the TWN’s Sacred Trust initiative to protect the unceded Tsleil-Waututh lands and waters from the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.

In his new memoir, he shares the story of the spiritual, cultural, and political resurgence of a nation taking action to reclaim their lands, waters, law, and food systems in the face of colonization. It Stops Here reveals extraordinary insights and revelations from someone who has devoted more than a decade of his life to fighting the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. He speaks with Michelle Cyca, the editor of Indigenous-led conservation coverage for The Narwhal.

Presented in partnership with Talking Stick Festival
