Yesterday I was described as a ‘relational reporter’. I had to ask what that was. They said it’s a journalist who (to cut a long description short) — takes the time, shows empathy, follows up. “As opposed to an extractive or transactional reporter.” I like that.

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.

I’ve been working on this story for quite some time. Thanks to @ijnr_connect, folks from the Centre of Indigenous Fisheries for bringing this story my way, Sumas First Nation for their time and @IndigiNewsMedia and @thenarwhalca for making the story better!

The last time Semá:th fished with their own weir, the territory looked vastly different.

As a crew cranes the metal weir into the river, no one is confident if it will stay.

“It’s a mixture of nervousness, tension and excitement."
