"We cannot call ourselves a nation if we don't want to defend what is rightfully ours."
Wolverine, Defenders of the Land, 1995

In the summer of 1995, a month-long standoff occurred between Indigenous peoples & police near 100 Mile House, in the BC southern-interior. This land is the ancestral homeland of the Secwepemc (Shuswap).

Altogether, over 450 heavily-armed officers from various RCMP Emergency Response Teams (ERT), with military assistance, including 9 armoured personnel carriers, were deployed against some 24 defenders (many of whom were women & children).
