The voice of Christine Jack, a Two Spirit St’at’imc spiritual leader who was asked by her Elders to protect Ulluisc from Aspen Planers, a company which has already been responsible for multiple clear cut blocks on the territory. Ulluisc, which is the ucwalmicw name for the territory means “a place for the people to gather” as it is an ancestral village site where the Secwepemc, Tsilhqot’in and St’at’imc people met and traded. Christine has taken this stand in order to protect the ancestral village site as well as allow the land to heal as it is home to a diversity of life.
This is the latest update from Christine, Caretaker of Ulluisc recorded during our last visit in May of 2016.
