Our grandmother the Inlet, Tsleil-Waut, has sustained our people for millennia, and we have been working tirelessly and successfully to restore her health. Today marks a critical day for Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Trans Mountain has announced that their expanded pipeline is operational, a project our Nation has not consented to due to the many risks it poses.
