The Lummi Tribe continues their 2015 Totem Pole Journey at the Blackfeet Nation. The journey “comes at a defining moment in our collective effort to defeat these fossil fuel export proposals. The Corps of Engineers will likely decide in mid-to-late August whether or not it will agree with the Lummi Nation and deny all permits for the Gateway Pacific Terminal Project. Meanwhile, the project proponents are engaged in a public relations campaign to sway public opinion married to efforts to influence the Corps through elected officials in Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Washington, D.C. The 2015 journey will play an important role uniting opposition to the fossil fuel export projects, empower the general public with information, send a strong and united message to agencies and elected officials, and strengthen local, regional, and national networks and alliances, The first stop is in Vancouver, BC on August 22nd with one or more stops each day until they reach the Northern Cheyenne in Montana on August 29th.
