Westcoast Warrior Society is mobilizing a support force to assist Secwepemc Peoples in returning to occupy Skwelkwekwelt.

The Westcoast Warrior Society is equipped and willing to offer assistance to Indigenous communities who request support. The Westcoast Warriors respects the wishes and direction of the Indigenous community asking for help.

In the case of the Skwelkwekwelt Protection Center, the Westcoast Warriors have been put on a 24 hour alert to assist the Secwepemc peoples in returning to occupy their 1862 Neskonlith Douglas Reserve lands and mountains at Skwelkwekwelt.

We will not stand idly by and watch our Indigenous peoples being forcibly evicted from their traditional territories, as the RCMP did on behalf of the Sun Peaks Resort Corporation and the B.C. government.

It is now our understanding that the Secwepemc people of the 1862 Neskonlith Douglas Reserve want help to convince the Sun Peaks Resort Corporation to willingly leave Secwepemc lands and mountains permanently. We are ready to assist the Skwelkwekwelt Protection Center in their goals and objectives.
