The Wet`suwet` en resistance
The Wet`suwet` en resistance was among the most successful resistance movements. They protected their land by building a resistance camp. It not only helped the indigenous people claim their land back but also helped resist the construction of pipelines and projects that are harmful to the environment in terms of deforestation and pollution of water catchment areas. The resistance movement was mainly successful due to solidarity, teamwork, and a common goal of reclaiming the land.
We can see that power inspires nothing more than the desire to retain it. The indigenous people of the camp were under threat to give up their land but opposed the intent of authorities. They, therefore, were successfully able to take action to protect their property. These actions are similar to the Invasion movie in that the threats to the safety of people without cause inspires resistance.
Question 2
We could create awareness on the issues that have been addressed by teaching the people on the problems that could negatively impact them. We could also use social media as a tool for creating massive awareness by the use of hashtags for people and movements to share their stories and reach new audiences globally. Also, we could make posters shareable to people to enable us to reach more audiences. Besides, we would mobilize the people to join us in peaceful demonstrations against the invasion of the land. By creating banners and posters bearing the information on our aim of the demonstration, we would have reached many people. We could also have boycotts, sit-ins, and marches which are civilized ways of resistance
Lastly, we could donate to fund messaging on flyers or printing of merchandise for people engaging in the demonstration.
