A personal account of one man’s confrontation with colonization
that illuminates the philosophy and values of a First Nation on the
front lines of the fight against an extractive industry,
ineffective government, and the threat to the life-giving ocean. It
Stops Here is the story of the spiritual, cultural, and political
resurgence of a nation taking action to reclaim their lands,
waters, law, and food systems in face of colonization. The book
recounts the intergenerational struggle of the Tsleil-Waututh to
overcome the harms of colonization and the powerful stance they
have taken against the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline—a
fossil fuel megaproject that would triple the capacity of tar sands
bitumen piped to tidewater on their unceded territory and result in
a sevenfold increase in oil tankers moving through their waters.
The book provides a firsthand account of this resurgence as told by
one of the most prominent leaders of the widespread opposition to
the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion—Rueben George of the
Tsleil-Waututh Nation. He has devoted more than a decade of his
life to fighting this project and shares stories about his
family’s deep ancestral connections to these waters that have
provided the Tsleil-Waututh with a rich abundance of foods and
medicines since time immemorial. Despite the systematic attempts at
cultural genocide enacted by the colonial state, Rueben recounts
how key leaders of the community, such as his grandfather, Chief
Dan George, always taught the younger generations to be proud of
who they were and to remember the importance of their connection to
the inlet. Part memoir, part call to action, It Stops Here urges
policy makers to prioritize sacred territory over oil profits and
insists that colonial Canada change its perspective from bending
natural resources to their will to respecting this territory and
those who inhabit it.
