Fundraising for Tiny House Warriors and No Man Camps campaign
A dessert/coffee night with a silent auction to support the Tiny House Warriors and the No Man Camps campaign.
The Tiny House Warriors, one of the forefront indigenous movements, have resisted the Trans-mountain Pipeline Expansion, as well as the construction of an industrial “Man Camp”.
Their strategic mission is to build 10 tiny houses on wheels in the path of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline route to assert Secwepemc collective title and rights to their unceded lands. They have never provided their collective free, prior and informed consent – the minimal international standard – to the project. https://www.facebook.com/tinyhousewarriors/
“Secwepemc declare “Ta7k Sec7u7tsnes! No Consent!” for Trans Mountain pipeline to cross 518 km of Unceded Secwepemc Territory.“

Balam Santos a.k.a. Kin Balam is from the Indigenous lands of Cuxkatan, Nekepio, El Salvador. He was born in the heart of a people’s revolution, raised in the Northern lands of Turtle Island. Flamenco, Latin American, Indigenous Mesoamerican, Afro Latin Jazz, and Hip Hop are all the elements that makeup the powerful fabric of this new yet ancient rooted musical style. Fusing the hardcore rap delivery usually associated to gangster rap, Kin Balam has decided to utilize that same vein of art to feed the streets medicine, hope, healing, and revolutionary guidance. The Mesoamerican Indigenous instruments integrated into this musical landscape are of Pre-Colombian colonial origin, and therefore bear with them the unique identity of Central American Indigenous culture and spirituality. The Afro Latin rhythms deepen the meaning with the connection and bridging of African culture and struggles in the earth and flesh of America’s terrible and savage colonial history. The virtuoso Flamenco guitar is the sword that ties all of these elements as one diverse family. All of it together speaks as one heart, one voice, in one language – the language of our humanity.
