nativemissfit:decolonizingmedia:The Tar SandsThis is what we’re up against.As Crystal Lameman, Beaver Lake Cree Nation, says, “We have every major oil company on our territory. None of them was given permission by our nation to be there… In less than 20 years an area the size of England has been completely destroyed and there are further plans to develop that ten times. This territory that is being conquered is our traditional hunting territories, the land that we subside on, the land in which we live… It is my obligation as a mother, my obligation to my ancestors to ensure we have our rights respected. It’s my obligation to my future generations and most of all to our own true mother, Mother Earth.”http://thefeministwire.com/2013/06/indigenous-feminisms-walia/ -- source link
