#Anishinaabe Elder explains significance of water ahead of #WorldWaterDay

by Ryan Dwight MacTavish | March 12, 2025

"Water is not just a resource — it is sacred. It is our first medicine, as we are all born of water. It connects us to the land, to the ancestors, and to future generations. In #Indigenous worldviews, water is a living relative that must be treated with reverence. The more I have come to understand the vital role water plays in the health of our people and our planet, the more I recognize that protecting it is not just an environmental issue, but a spiritual and cultural responsibility."

#WinonaLaDuke: #DAPLPipeline Lawsuit Against #Greenpeace Aims to Silence #Indigenous #Protests, Too

#DemocracyNow, March 04, 2025

"As the oil company Energy Transfer sues Greenpeace over the 2016 #StandingRock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, we speak with #IndigenousActivist Winona LaDuke, who took part in that historic uprising. LaDuke is an enrolled member of the Mississippi Band of #Anishinaabe who lives and works on the White Earth Nation Reservation and was among the thousands of people who joined the protests in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to protect water and Indigenous lands in North Dakota. She highlights the close links between North Dakota’s government and Energy Transfer and says that while the lawsuit targets Greenpeace, Indigenous water and land defenders are also on trial. 'North Dakota has really been trying to squash any kind of #resistance,' says LaDuke. 'If they can try to shut down Greenpeace, they’re going to shut down everybody.'"

The Most Toxic Substance on Earth – and the Tiny Town Volunteering to Host It

The fraught quest for a safe site to bury #NuclearWaste

by William Leiss Updated 8:12, Jan. 13, 2025

"In a landmark decision announced this past November, Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organization, or the #NWMO, selected the municipality of Ignace in Northwestern Ontario as the site for the country’s first deep geological repository—DGR—for spent nuclear fuel. The repository is to be located within the traditional territory of the #WabigoonLakeOjibway Nation, forty-three kilometres from Ignace.

[...]

"The Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation—WLON—or #WabigoonFirstNation, based in the Kenora district southeast of Dryden and a member of Grand Council Treaty 3, is the First Nation partner for the NWMO in the Ignace area. Treaty 3 encompasses 55,000 square metres and stretches from eastern Manitoba to just west of Thunder Bay; it includes twenty-eight communities of #Anishinaabe peoples, located in Northwestern #Ontario and southeastern #Manitoba, with a total population of about 25,000. The WLON is a Saulteaux First Nation band and, as of 2021, had a registered population of 822, with an on-reserve population of 186 residing at Wabigoon Lake 27 Indian Reserve who operate a wild rice processing plant, a logging business, and a tree nursery there. The consultations over the possible DGR siting in the Ignace area led to some quite acrimonious public controversy among a number of First Nations communities, many of which are very close to each other in an area at the southernmost corner of the extreme northwestern edge of Ontario, near both the Manitoba and US borders."

#NuclearColonialism v. #RedPower

"The world has no shortage of #PoliticalPrisoners – or of environmental martyrs and heroes– but 80-year-old #LeonardPeltier, a #Lakota and #Anishinaabe AIM member, is arguably the most famous, the legal lynching he underwent so outrageous, and his incarceration in a 'maximum security' prison so protracted. Even former FBI agents have themselves essentially contended that Pelter was scapegoated by the FBI for the lethal shooting of two agents–Jack Coler and Ronald Williams– on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Michael Apted’s 1992 documentary Incident at Oglala, narrated by Robert Redford, is a good place to start if you’re new to this history. But if you’re looking for insights into the role that #UraniumMining played in the conflict, you’d be better off checking out #PeterMatthiessen’s book #InTheSpiritOfCrazyHorse: Leonard Peltier and the #FBI’s War on The #AmericanIndian ovement. To hear a first-hand account, check out Peltier’s memoir #PrisonWritings: My Life Is My Sun Dance.

"Despite well-documented prosecutorial misconduct powerfully depicted in Apted’s documentary, Peltier’s conviction has yet to be overturned. And in the face of decades of global, high-profile pleas for clemency for Peltier, including by James Reynolds, a “senior US attorney who was involved in [his] prosecution,” no president up until now has been willing to free Peltier. Given that he’s in increasingly poor health, time is running out, and the same president who just pardoned his own son may be Peltier’s last shot at clemency. If you haven’t yet done so, check out the Amnesty International petition– and Amy Goodman’s and Denis Moynihan’s recent column–making the case for his release. The Red Nation media collective also has an extensive playlist of podcasts focused on Peltier’s case and the long struggle to free him.

"Peltier, arguably the world’s most visible casualty of nuclear colonialism, was only three years into his sentence when Santee Dakota organizer John Trudell, his contemporary in AIM, delivered a searing 1980 speech at the Black Hills International Survival Gathering. As Zoltan Grossman has documented, 'Multinational mining companies, such as #UnionCarbide and #Exxon, proposed the development of the #BlackHills for energy resources, including #coal mines, #uranium mines, and coal slurry #pipelines.' The Black Hills gathering brought together a global convergence of more than 10,000 Indigenous activists and non-Native allies to hold the line against a repeat of the 1950s, which, per Grossman, had 'result[ed] in the extensive irradiation of the southern Black Hills community of #Edgemont.'"

The growing movement of #Indigenous leaders across #NorthernOntario opposing #NuclearWaste dump

'We live off the land every day. It’s the most precious food market we have in the world'

October 3, 2024
Jon Thompson

"#FirstNations opposing nuclear waste burial in northwestern Ontario are growing in number and are now mobilizing across the region.

"A fledgling movement of Indigenous leaders hosted a small rally with non-Indigenous allies in #ThunderBay on Wednesday, with a refrain of 'Gaa-Wiin,' the #Anishinaabemowin word meaning 'no' to nuclear waste burial.

"The demonstration followed a letter signed by nine chiefs last week, asking the Nuclear Waste Management Organization to respect their will not to bury Canada’s most #radioactive nuclear waste in a #DeepRepository site between the town of #Ignace and #WabigoonLake #Ojibway First Nation.

"The #NWMO is expected to issue a final decision by year’s end as to whether it will transport used #NuclearFuel, produced since the 1960s, by either train or highway over 1,600 kilometres to a deep geological repository. If the Ignace is chosen over Bruce County, where nuclear energy and its waste is produced, transportation would begin in the 2040s and will take 40 years to complete.

"Although the site selection process has been underway for 20 years, the looming final decision has prompted political actions, including a larger #ThunderBay demonstration in April and a march last month along the highway near the proposed site.

"'I don’t know why some people just don’t understand,' Asubpeeschoseewagong #Anishinabek (#GrassyNarrows First Nation) #ChiefRudyTurtle told the crowd of around 300 people. 'It’s so simple: no means no. That’s all it is. Why can’t you understand that? We are saying no, we don’t want nuclear waste.'"

"Thirteen First Nations have now signed on to last week’s statement opposing the repository, including #NorthwestAngle #33, whose leadership committed to the cause on Wednesday. Signatories include #FortWilliamFirstNation, #Gakijiwanong #Anishinaabe (#LacLaCroix First Nation), #GullBayFirstNation, #Kitchenuhmaykoosib #Inninuwug (#BigTroutLake First Nation), #MuskratDam First Nation, #Neskantaga First Nation, #NetmizaaggamigNishnaabeg (Pic Mobert First Nation), #Ojibways of #Onigaming, #ShoalLake #40 First Nation, #Wapekeka First Nation, #WauzhushkOnigum Nation."

Biography: Winona LaDuke

"#WinonaLaDuke, a #NativeAmerican #activist, economist, and author, has devoted her life to advocating for #Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices. She combines economic and #environmental approaches in her efforts to create a thriving and sustainable community for her own White Earth reservation and Indigenous populations across the country.

"Winona LaDuke was born in Los Angeles, California on August 18, 1959 to parents Vincent and Betty (Bernstein) LaDuke. Her father, also known as #SunBear, was #Anishinaabe (or #Ojibwe) from the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. He was an actor, writer, and activist. Her mother was an artist and activist. LaDuke is an #Anishinaabekwe (Ojibwe) enrolled member of the Mississippi Band #Anishinaabeg. Her father brought her to powwows and other tribal functions, events that made a deep impression on the young LaDuke. LaDuke’s parents divorced when she was five and she moved with her mother, who was of Russian Jewish descent, to Ashland, Oregon. LaDuke visited #WhiteEarth frequently and, at her mother’s encouragement, spent summers living in Native communities in order to strengthen her connection with her heritage.

"LaDuke attended Harvard University and graduated in 1982 with a degree in rural economic development. While at Harvard, LaDuke’s interest in Native issues grew. She spent a summer working on a campaign to stop uranium mining on Navajo land in Nevada, and testified before the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland about the exploitation of Indian lands.

"After Harvard, LaDuke took a position as principal of the reservation high school at the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in Minnesota. She soon became involved in a lawsuit filed by the Anishinaabeg people to recover lands promised to them by an 1867 federal treaty. At the time of the treaty, the White Earth Reservation included 837,000 acres, but government policies allowed lumber companies and other non-Native groups to take over more than 90 percent of the land by 1934. After four years of litigation, however, the lawsuit was dismissed.

"The lawsuit’s failure motivated LaDuke’s ensuing efforts to protect Native lands. In 1985, she helped establish and co-chaired the #IndigenousWomensNetwork (#IWN), a coalition of 400 Native women activists and groups dedicated to bolstering the visibility of Native women and empowering them to take active roles in tribal politics and culture. The coalition strives both to preserve Indigenous religious and cultural practices and to recover Indigenous lands and conserve their natural resources."

Blood Memories: #Indigenous Women on the Frontlines Inspire with Words and Action

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, April 17, 2024

NEW YORK -- "Indigenous women around the world are battling #FossillFuels, #mining, #exploitation and #oppression. The abuse of #MotherEarth is directly connected to the violence against Indigenous women.

"Women's Earth and #ClimateAction Network International hosted Indigenous women on panels during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on Wednesday.

"Osprey Orielle Lake, WECAN executive director, opened the session calling for a #ceasefire in #Gaza, an end to the oppression, and return of the hostages. 'The killing must be stopped now,' she said.

"Indigenous women speak on the struggles, from the battle to halt the #MountainValleyPipeline and protect their burial places, to #Anishinaabe protecting the water and animals around the #GreatLakes and the battles against mining in the #Amazon, #Ecuador, #Colombia, #Brazil and #Peru."
