It Stops Here
批評家のレビュー
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
“It Stops Here is an eloquent memoir relating the tribulations, struggles, and redemption of an extraordinary individual, and also of a family, a nation, and a land. In telling his personal story, Rueben George makes an impassioned plea for the future of us all.” —Gabor Maté, New York Times bestselling author of The Myth of Normal
“Rueben George is a powerful voice on behalf of his people, their culture, and territory. In defending his land, he is fighting for all people who care about Mother Earth and a future for our children and grandchildren. Read this book to understand why he is a land defender battling on behalf of all of us.” —David Suzuki, environmentalist and broadcaster
“Separation from the natural world that supports and sustains us is a profound trauma, one in need of collective healing. This book—abundant with love for both people and the land—is powerful medicine. On each welcoming page, we come to know a leader in the purest sense of the word: accountable, honest, vulnerable, and guided by an unwavering and radically inclusive vision. Gradually, we glimpse the beautiful world before and beyond the one crumbling all around.” —Naomi Klein, New York Times bestselling author of This Changes Everything and On Fire
あらすじ・解説
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A personal account of one man’s confrontation with colonization that illuminates the philosophy and values of a First Nation on the front lines of the fight against an extractive industry, colonial government, and threats to the life-giving Salish Sea.
It Stops Here is the profound story of the spiritual, cultural, and political resurgence of a nation taking action to reclaim their lands, waters, law, and food systems in the face of colonization. In deeply moving testimony, it recounts the intergenerational struggle of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation to overcome colonial harms and the powerful stance they have taken alongside allies and other Indigenous nations across Turtle Island against the development of the Trans Mountain Pipeline—a fossil fuel megaproject on their unceded territories.
In a firsthand account of the resurgence told by Rueben George, one of the most prominent leaders of the widespread opposition to the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, It Stops Here reveals extraordinary insights and revelations from someone who has devoted more than a decade of his life to fighting the project. Rueben shares stories about his family’s deep ancestral connections to their unceded lands and waters, which are today more commonly known as Vancouver, British Columbia and the Burrard Inlet. He discloses how, following the systematic cultural genocide enacted by the colonial state, key leaders of his community, such as his grandfather, Chief Dan George, always taught the younger generations to be proud of who they were and to remember the importance of their connection to the inlet.
Part memoir, part call to action, It Stops Here is a compelling appeal to prioritize the sacred over oil and extractive industries, while insisting that settler society honour Indigenous law and jurisdiction over unceded territories rather than exploiting lands and reducing them to their natural resources.
