"[Maas Gwitkunuxws Teresa Brown], who’s chosen to make her home in a converted school bus heated by a wood stove, said she, too, will do what it takes to make sure the pipeline project is kiboshed. 'They’re not getting in here,' she told IndigiNews. 'Over my dead body.'

"Up a forestry road north of Kispiox on Gitxsan Lax’yip (homelands), the sounds of hammering and power tools echo through the forest as golden leaves fall from aspen poplar and paper birch trees.
"With winter imminent, Maas Gwitkunuxws Teresa Brown — who is Gitxsan from the Gisk’aast (Fireweed) Clan — and her team hurry to build a structure to keep Brown’s four dogs and nine foster puppies warm during the cold months.
"In these territories of northwestern 'B.C.,' temperatures can be unforgiving, with lows known to drop to -30 C or colder at night.
"'It’s scary thinking I’m going to be out here in the winter, but it really feels like I can’t leave,' Brown says. 'I do this from love.'"
