A First Nations elder has been defying Kinder Morgan’s injunction barring protesters from its worksite on Burnaby Mountain, in order to maintain a sacred fire.
Sut-Lut, from the Squamish nation, has been tending the fire with help from family, friends and the RCMP.
“In my culture when there’s a problem we gather the people around the fire. We feed everybody and the earth is alive,” said Sut-Lut.
