Read a brief contributed by Michaela McGuire, SFU INDG term lecturer.
miskoaki.bsky.social Yellowhead Institute @miskoaki.bsky.social · 25d
B.C.’s LNG boom is called progress—but for Indigenous women, it signals danger. Linked to man camps and state neglect, Michaela M. McGuire asks: what’s being done to protect women?

Read the full Brief, linked in bio.
Top half of the image displays a photograph of No Pipelines by Gord Hill. A red line across the image beneath the photo. Within the line reads: “The Yellowhead Brief”. The bottom half of the image displays the brief title information: Is Violence against Indigenous Women in “Canada’s interest”? Liquified Natural Gas in B.C., Sexual Violence & Narratives of Terra Nullius by Michaela McGuire. The YI logo is displayed on the right side of the image. a quote is bordered by a dashed red line. A quotation mark sits at the top centre of the border and “The Yellowhead Brief” is placed in the bottom centre of the border. Inside the border reads: We are dehumanized, our bodies and lives considered unworthy of care. We bear the brunt of environmental, colonial, and genocidal violence. This unfolds against the normalization of racism, which exacerbates societal indifference, perpetuating harm. Image is of a dark blue background. A dark red text box is displayed in the top centre of the image, white text reads, “Learn More”. White text in the centre of the image reads:How do narratives of terra nullius intersect with resource development to perpetuate violence against Indigenous women?. Below this, smaller white text reads the title information:, Is Violence against Indigenous Women in “Canada’s interest”? Liquified Natural Gas in B.C., Sexual Violence & Narratives of Terra Nullius by Michaela M. McGuire - Jaad Gudgihljiwah A dotted red line separates the title information from the Yellowhead Institute logo displayed in the bottom centre of the image.
