This Thanksgiving, a Look at the Indigenous Communities Making the Climate Connection
As Thanksgiving celebrations kick off around the U.S., activists are calling attention to Indigenous organizations, including many that work on problems and issues related to climate change.

“A lot of people have been asking me lately how to support Indigenous people during this holiday season which often harps on celebration of the genocide of our ancestors,”wrote community advocate Amy Breesman in a social media posting on Wednesday.

Bison bars were supposed to restore Native communities and grass-based ranches. Then came Epic Provisions.

Bison jerky bars were a promising, Native American-owned, community building venture. Until General Mills came along. (New Food Economy)

Tanka, a Native-owned business, invented the commercial bison bar. But Epic took credit, built an empire on a foundation of misleading claims, promised ranchers investment that never materialized, and left an industry struggling in its wake.

Riz Khan - THE FIRST AMERICANS

Published on Dec 4, 2009
When Native Americans shared a harvest feast with English colonists in 1621, the event was known as the first Thanksgiving. But to some, the U.S. holiday marks the day when Native Americans began to have their lands - and ways of life - stripped from them.

Over the next 200 years, as the United States expanded its borders, many Native American tribes were left with little or no land at all as a result of warfare and countless broken treaties. The Native Americans have since lived in government-created reservations ridden with poverty and disease.

The consequences of dispossession can be seen elsewhere in todays world, from the Palestinians to the Australian aborigines and First Nations people of Canada.

GOOD LUCK

supposed to be a major Trumploke denier huh


Indigneous groups have found an unusual ally against Grainrail: truckers who fear they will lose their livelihoods if the planned railroad goes forward. Indigenous groups and truckers are both known for their use of direct actions, such as roadblocks and strikes, to get their views heard – methods that could lead to conflict with Bolsonaro.


Even though Dotô had withdrawn from political life for a year as part of a Kayapó cultural grieving ritual to honor a son who had died, his determination to defend the people’s land was evident in every word he spoke: “The government has to consult us before they build this railroad, because it’s written in law, in [the International Labour Organization’s] Convention 169,” he said firmly. Brazil is a signatory of Convention 169.

If the rail line eventually goes ahead, his community wants binding agreements: “We can’t let [the authorities] do to us what they did to our relatives at Belo Monte [the mega-dam on the Xingu River]. There they made many promises but then they destroyed families, they destroyed the environment, they destroyed everything.”



Amazon indigenous groups and truckers ally to oppose Brazil’s Grainrail
by Sue Branford and Maurício Torres on 6 December 2018

Map showing the surge in deforestation after a large area was removed from the Baú Indigenous Territory after 2003. Land grabbers across the Brazilian Amazon typically invade government or indigenous lands, earn money from illegal logging and illicit cattle ranching there, then urge the government to redraw the boundaries of the protected area to exclude the exploited lands, which the land grabbers can then sell at highly inflated real estate prices. So it is that land thieves chip away at Brazil’s conserved lands. Image by Mauricio Torres.

Indigenous Nation Blocks TransCanada Pipeline with New Checkpoint

When TransCanada attempts to deliver a Canadian court injunction against a decade-old Wet’suwet’en checkpoint, they run into a second checkpoint instead. The Wet’suwet’en people have never signed treaties with Canada or sold their lands, a fact confirmed by Canada’s Supreme Court in 1997 in a landmark case known as Delgamuukw.

Also rb, there are more people now. So, I suppose the Bears think the human population might need to be reduced also.

I was around for the first release of the Planet Of The Apes....then the second.............and so on.

Then one day while watching the latest a while ago....me thinks...what, where did all these primates come from?

Now I know, the Polar Bears hid them under the ice to thaw out thousands of years later. It all made sense then...................I think.

How does a Polar Bear scratch it's back, or it has no woods to do it's business in?

Ahhhh, much like the Inuit greeting of touching noses....the same as Polynesians in far away tropical and subtropical regions.

We seemed to have learned many of our greetings from our fellow earth friends. A shame we don't listen or learn from them now.

 

[185248]

Yes, well, no doubt the apes tried. Hence, no more apes in the arctic regions.

as we know WW v indigenous will always claim traditional eating rights so to speak
in some cases unfortunate i think
but,almost acceptable if they strictly self monitor there taking of such
ridiculous overkill like the Norwegians and whale slaughter annually, pathetic
or indeed Japanese whale killing annually for BS research FFS

NZ
and our Maori allowed an occassional Kereru/wood pigeon
seeemed only a real radical exercised that right a while back,even told media he wanted his child to experience what his ancesrors ate
well i am personally doubtful re that behaviour
incidentally
was lying under a tree on island quietly reading a book, and this mother Kereru came walking out with her baby K and noisily/wings flapping etc,started to teach him/her how to fly ha
cute,6 feet from me,wouldent happen on the mainland

govts are doing that fine,dont need more intelligent animals to teach us huh

FAST FORWARD
Tanzanian Farmers Crack the Code for Fighting Land Grab
These farmers are successfully taking on powerful opponents, from their own government and foreign royals to companies and corrupt officials.
For nearly a week, Swalehe Nkwale saw unfamiliar surveyors place slabs on parts of Nyamitanga Division land 108 miles south of Dar es Salaam. Then one day, he saw a poster on his own farm declaring that he could no longer grow crops there. It was the start of a decade-long battle against British firm African Green Oil (AGO) and the Tanzanian government. They won that fight, but the Nyamitanga villagers didn’t stop once they got their land back in 2016.

They have since mapped their land and registered it with authorities, making it hard for any firm to take it from them in the future. And Nyamitanga isn’t alone.
