Hazelnut, Fae, and Pocket visit Seeds of Revolution from the new camp in the ancient Walbran forest on Pacheedaht territory.They discuss their love of the ancient forests, their relationships with Elder Bill Jones, and with the local Indigenous nations in the area. They offer an analysis of the resource extraction industry/band council infiltration dynamic and speak candidly on the RCMP's role in clearing the blockade (and burning down the cougar sculpture and spiritual cabin) to pave the way for industry in the name of the ongoing injunction. Reflecting on the lessons learned from historical waves of forest defense, from Fairy Creek to Clayquot Sound, these Forest Protectors encourage everyone with time and inspiration to support their blockade either by visiting them, or taking action where you are.Follow the Forest Protectors on IG, Facebook, and join their supplies request chat group on Signal.

Our friend Gia from Historical Seditions came to Camas in August to launch her newest book, “Deconstructing Settler Socialism: Anarchism and the Internationals in the Wild West” Check out Historical Seditions’ website, and buy a copy of Gia's book here.In most general histories of radical movements the region popularly remembered as the “Wild West” is entirely absent. During the 19th century these lands were violently transformed from the sovereign domain of dozens of indigenous peoples into “western North America" via the genocidal process of settler-colonialism. White radicals played a tragically intimate role in this process, and while the histories of anarchism and communism, of socialism, feminism, and syndicalism have long roots in these lands, those who tilled the soil were far from spotless heroes.

Dr. Yannick Giovanni Marshall is a scholar, writer, and speaker specializing in anti-colonial Black thought, political exile, and dissent. He taught Contemporary Black Thought in the School of Critical Studies at CalArts before fleeing the United States amidst the escalating suppression of Black Studies, protest and academic freedom. His forthcoming book, "The End of Supplication: The Invention of Prostrate Blackness as a Replacement for the Maroon," challenges the containment of Black radical traditions through liberal and Civil Rights discourse. Through essays in Al Jazeera English and public talks delivered globally, Dr. Marshall offers urgent provocations on anti-Blackness, colonialism, and the global crackdown on dissent.
