Evening Star ‘I consider myself a Cree woman warrior. It came into my spirit that I am willing to go all the way: I’m willing to get arrested, I’m willing to lock myself down to some machinery, I’m even willing to put my life on the line if it comes down to that, because this pipeline is going through sacred territories of our ancestors. I’ve got to take a stand, because if I don’t, who else will? I’m hoping there’ll be more warriors out there that will “warrior up”.’, Cree woman warrior, Treaty 4 Territory, Peepeekisis First Nations, Balcarres
