Land defender Khursten Bullock stands by a sacred fire that was lit near a Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX) project’s open pit construction site by Jacko Lake near Kamloops, B.C., on Dec. 9, 2023. Two months prior, Canada’s energy regulator gave Trans Mountain approval to trench through the Jacko Lake area, which is the location of a sacred First Nations’ site called Pípsell. It is home to Secwépemc Nation creation stories.
