The spring of 2020 saw one of the largest Indigenous mobilizations since the Kanehsatà:ke resistance in 1990. The Wet’suwet’en nation’s opposition to the Coastal GasLink project currently being built on their territory has inspired many other communities, both Indigenous and non- Indigenous, to take direct action across Canada, thereby blocking the national rail system, the backbone of Canadian colonial capitalism.
