Actions Planned to Support Resistance by First Nation Group Against Oil Pipeline 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Solidarity actions are expected across Canada and around the world today
to support a resistance effort by First Nations groups in British
Columbia against the construction of an oil pipeline on their land. Last
week, indigenous activists seized equipment and established a roadblock
to prevent construction on the Pacific Trails Pipeline, which would
carry gas extracted through the the controversial process of hydraulic
fracturing or "fracking." Organizers have twice evicted pipeline
surveyors from the land, accusing the workers of trespassing.
