It's just like where you come from There's nowhere else. You can't just with the rising sea. You can't just go somewhere else That's your home What we we know for Many islands in the Pacific can fit into You can fit inside that and for it to be so Cruel need disrespect The way we live back home has changed dramatically, yeah, because of in the fossil fuel industry the villages that live close to the coastal areas have to move further inland to to plant root crops just because of the soil not been fertile enough because of saltwater intrusion People are suffering because of this What we're seeing is a recognition of interconnectedness the impacts that climate change is happening on the culture and the identity and The security and sovereignty of indigenous peoples is Almost exactly the same no matter if you're in Fiji or northern Alberta We wanted to come and see this firsthand. We needed to understand we came to learn We came to observe We came to pray and we came to see how we can contribute to the healing Because we need for this earth To start thinking more about healing We need it my automatic reaction Was tears in my eyes because of how it's impacting My home I I'm not sure if many of you know where Sam or is or the South Pacific But home To people like me You know, we think the Pacific Islands I just a thought on the map but this living being there to I challenge you all to come and see what How we are living and how we're very hospitable when anyone comes around To slew its nation means people the water people are in there Our first mother was the water that you'll see in tomorrow and brought in there The pipeline goes right through the main watershed of the Fraser River Which will affect like all the salmon and like they call this salmon opalus because like salmon is life here And like this is our life like 80% of our food came from the water The pipelines are gonna burst it happened 2007 really close to here You know and accidents always happen There's a 92% chance of a spill happening and we can't take that risk I heard of the tragedies in your territories to and how you're standing up is a similar we like you Our connection to the land and water is sacred You know we understand that when you take from the land you must return you must give back and This all happening people that live around here that When they find out the true facts of the destruction that this causes them they'll want to do something for their future generations Indigenous Communities all around the world hold the key How do you other How do you believe in that version you know I wish it wasn't better circumstances that we come together as people But I'm glad you aren't here because we support you the same way Welcome to our territory, and I'll pray that our ancestors take care of you while you're here We're standing here today in solidarity with our relatives in to slay-with-tooth territory with Representatives of small island nations who have traveled here to Canada to challenge the Canadian government to challenge prime minister Trudeau to honor his word that he made when he said that Canada is back at the Paris cop 21 He promised small island nations that Canada would push for a 1.5 degree climate target But yet came back and approved the kinder Morgan pipeline and the Enbridge line 3 pipeline When the Pacific faced the impacts of climate change every day Sea level rise a change in weather pattern just last week in the month of May There were two cyclones going through the Pacific and it's because of expansions like this And that's why we are here in solidarity with our Pacific brothers and sisters in the 15 island nations With the people of this land to tell the prime minister Trudeau Keep your promise.
