A Weekend in Unceded Coast Salish Lands
We got off the plane, took a cab to Chinatown, dropped our bags at the place we were staying, and went directly to Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival. As we walked to Woodward’s (a massive shopping center) near where the fest was being held, we learned about a squat and other community projects that had been evicted. It was clear that the area had quite a history of resistance to gentrification.
