Today our guests are the Lead­er­ship of the Stu­dent Pipeline Action Com­mit­tee (S‑PAC) from UMan­i­to­ba’s Rob­son Hall Law School, Pres­i­dent and Anishi­naabe Law Stu­dent Danielle Mor­ri­son, and Vice-Pres­i­dent of Media and Mar­ket­ing and Anishi­naabe Law Stu­dent Alyssa Bird. S‑PAC is a group of Indige­nous Law Stu­dents who are com­mit­ted to fur­ther­ing the dia­logue and tak­ing action con­cern­ing the crit­i­cal bat­tle against pipelines in North Amer­i­ca. On Nov. 2, in The Moot Court Room of Rob­son Hall, S‑PAC host­ed a pan­el titled ​“Beyond Bor­ders: Pipeline Resis­tance from Stand­ing Rock to Man­i­towapow” that invit­ed Prof. Aimee Craft, Activist Clay­ton Thomas-Muller, Red Ris­ing Co-Founder Sadie Phoenix-Lavoie, and come­di­an Dal­las Gold­tooth (via Skype) to dis­cuss recent and on-going actions hap­pen­ing across North Amer­i­ca. Late­ly, S‑PAC has been run­ning a ​“Water Is Life” mer­chan­dise fund­ing cam­paign to help sup­port legal bat­tles for First Nation com­mu­ni­ties against resource extrac­tion com­pa­nies, specif­i­cal­ly the actions around the Line 3 Replace­ment from Alber­ta to North Dako­ta. I caught up with the Pres­i­dent and the VP-Media and Mar­ket­ing while they were in Migizii Agamik: Indige­nous Stu­dent Cen­tre host­ing a ven­dor table. We dis­cuss mobi­liz­ing stu­dent activism, water law, what it’s like to be an Indige­nous Law Stu­dent, and the recent Key­stone Pipeline breech in South Dako­ta. Check out S‑PAC on Face­book to sup­port their campaigns.
