Prison, Probation, Community Service... but what about Aboriginal Title?
The Secwepemc people are fighting for their traditional land, their way

International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial

RCMP, and the Sun Peaks Corporation and demanding justice. Recent court
sentences for a summer blockade have not dampened their spirits and only
serve to focus the struggle and expose the systemic racism facing them.
