The photo above, and videos below, were all taken during a blockade of Grace Islet, on Salt Spring Island, on August 1.  Grace Islet is a recognized First Nations burial islet but, thanks to a series of beaurocratic foul-ups, it was zoned residential and a house is being built there. This would not be allowed if those were European graves, but this is British Columbia and the burials are First Nations.
