The Dzunuk'wa Society (BC)

The Dzunuk'wa Society (the Wild Women of the Woods Society) was founded by three women with Indigenous roots (along with Elder Bill Jones, friends and allies). We began to work together during the Ada’istx/Fairy Creek Blockade to protect the sacred lands of Pacheedhat Elder Bill Jones on his unceded traditional territory.

Our old growth forests are WORTH MORE STANDING as it is the old growth that provides the oxygen we breathe and contributes as a major role in the temperature gage on mother earth which provides medicines and foods for all creatures for both present and future. These ancient forests allow the earth to thrive and support a healthy ecosystem.

This is grassroots activism and we need your help. Funding is needed for us to continue our current activities of building bridges and meeting with industry and Nations.

We are the change.

Will you help us?

Legal Fund for Land Defender Elder Bill Jones (Fairy Creek, BC)

Elder Bill Jones of the Pacheedaht Nation is 85 years old. For decades, he has welcomed people into the forests to stand with him in defense of the last old-growth trees on his territory. At Fairy Creek, his invitation sparked one of the largest acts of civil resistance in Canadian history. Now, Western Forest Products has filed a civil suit against him, seeking an injunction that would make it illegal for Bill to be on his own land. If this injunction is granted, police will be authorized to arrest and detain those protecting the old growth.

This campaign is a legal defense fund to support Elder Bill Jones and those standing with him in court. Funds raised will cover legal costs, protect Indigenous rights, and strengthen the movement to safeguard what remains of BC’s old-growth forests.

Please give what you can, and share this fundraiser widely. Together, we can help ensure Elder Bill’s legacy lives on — in clean water, thriving salmon runs, and living ancient forests.

Support the writing of Elder Bill Jones' Life and Legacy! (Fairy Creek, BC)

What follows is the description of the book in Elder Bill's words:

“This book will be a personal chronicle of my maturation and the completion of my experience as a colonized and desensitized person from my survival of residential schools where First Nations children were numbed and robbed of their personhood. During the Fairy Creek Blockades, I was able to finally totally realize myself and my self-worth, where I learned that my direction is to serve my Great Mother and be quiet in her realm, especially up in her old growth forest.

I feel that my Great Mother has let me live through the genocide of my people and realize what happened to us. When sitting in a tent during a storm up at Fairy Creek, I suddenly said to myself: “I know what happened.” I woke up from the great sleep. I want to tell this story."

We are the Ma'a̱mtagila, and we are reclaiming our homelands.

We are proud members of the Kwakwaka'wakw peoples. Our territory lies between Vancouver Island & the BC Mainland, in what is called the Johnstone Strait. We know who we are, but the Government of Canada seems to have forgotten.

We have been excluded from government land-use and marine stewardship decision which has led to biodiversity destruction, desecration of cultural heritage sites and unfettered industry exploitation from logging and fish farms.

Our traditional territory is being included in a major treaty being illegitimately negotiated by the BC Treaty Commission, without our participation nor consent. This is in violation of both Kwakwaka'wakw and Canadian law — we need your help to build our capacity, reconnect with our remote territories and revitalize our stewardship practices.

Our founders, contributors and friends are united by a life-long commitment to Cree language preservation and revitalization. A big part of that passion is passing it on to others. That means our network always has room to welcome new students, teachers, speakers and linguists.

We also agree that “Cree literacy” means much more than just reading and writing. Cree literacy demands awareness of Cree history and culture, living tradition and ancient ritual. It means understanding the depth and scope of damage from past wrongs, and engaging in the struggle to see them righted. In this so called “age of reconciliation,” it means being aware of Cree political issues past and present, and helping to preserve this “home on Native land” that we all share.

Help Ashwin Poggenpoel's Family (Saskatoon, SK)

On June 18 2022 Ashwin Poggenpoel, a young Black man living in Saskatoon, was killed by the Saskatoon Police. Ashwin was scared, experiencing a mental health crisis and was seeking help. Despite Saskatoon Police receiving training on mental health and de-escalation through police college, all five members of the SPS who engaged with Ashwin that night decided to violently arrest him under Section 20 instead of offering him any support, killing him in the process.

Ashwin should still be alive today. Black lives will always matter. The systems of oppression that enabled Ashwin's murder are now working to keep his murderers away from any accountability, another form of systemic violence. This will be a long road for his family, and they've already had to sell personal belongings to pay their lawyers for this inquest. The police have their trial covered by our tax money. Right now to best support Ashwin’s family we need to redistribute our money in order to help them with lawyer fees.

School Supplies for Sudan

Sudan is facing the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, with over one-third of its population in urgent need of aid. The ongoing conflict has displaced millions, leaving Sudanese children especially vulnerable. Many of these children have fled to neighboring countries like Egypt in search of safety, but they are still facing immense challenges in accessing education. Currently, 5 million children are displaced, and over 19 million are out of school, with 90% of schools either non-operational or inaccessible. Sudanese children aren’t just missing out on education—they’re losing their chance at a better future.
