Priority Request for Supplies
Check here for current needs at Unist’ot’en. These are items you can donate or bring along if you are traveling to the territory. If you would like to donate larger items, like vehicles or equipment, please contact the hosts directly.
Thanks for your support and solidarity! In the past, this Wishlist was generally used by the regular supporters heading up to camp, who sent supplies along in their vehicles. Now, with all the national and international publicity, lots of people want to ship blankets and veggies and pots and pans to Houston. This is so kind and we express our gratitude!
Given the high costs of parcel post or courier (especially for bulky items) it makes more sense to make a financial donation through the DONATE page (Use the monthly donor or Paypal link to contribute to general camp funds). This way, you will not be wasting funds on Fedex and Canada Post that could be going to the Camp Legal Fund or General Fund!
