Keepers of the Athabasca

Some humour? Merry Crisis-mas?

When citizens begin to take control of the political agenda the desired outcome may come sooner than later.

A recent Global News interview regarding the dumping of the tailings ponds into the Athabasca River. Do we continue to poison the water for people downstream to the Arctic Ocean??

Listen carefully

Thank you for expressing Traditional values in the context of climate change, forestry, and the devastation we face https://edmontonjournal.com//28694a84-4717-4752-84f3-5d8d2

Here is something to bring us to our senses. Not sure if the forestry sector governance will protect any of the forests. We know what we need to do.

All ways some important teachings come from special people on their wisdom journey!!

Some important lessons on walking together on Mother Earth by honouring the amazing gifts of the people of the land.

The impact on the Peace - Athabasca Delta will be impacted big time in Northern Alberta. Provincial governments are getting in the way of protecting Mother Earth and northern watersheds for reasons that have no grounding in reality.

This is soo bad ... but the end is near (see comments for details) https://breachmedia.ca/oil-lobby-trudeau-government-formed/

The truth will not be buried or ignored ... Indigenous rights now! https://news.mongabay.com//landmark-decision-brazil-supre/

Land and water protectors have locked down the entrances of two insurers of TMX RIGHT NOW: Chubb Insurance Company, 250 Howe St & Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, 999 W Hastings St. See https://www.instagram.com/p/CNpr4JMgaH9/

Thanks Tanya Kalmanovitch for passing this on.

Keepers of the Water / Keepers of the Athabasca are looking for persons and groups who want to see more of the watersheds protected as persons across Turtle Island.

To keep doing this work for the water and all that relies on it, we need your support. By May 13, we’re trying to raise $30,000 to continue our work in protecti...ng the Arctic Ocean Drainage Basin and uplifting Indigenous water governance. This goal is only 0.1% (!) of Kenney’s war room but rather than propping up oil and gas, you’ll be joining us in protecting the water and supporting Indigenous rights. You can donate on our website, and don’t forget that every small donation counts! Whether or not you can donate, we would be grateful if you shared this post and encouraged your friends to give. Hiy hiy/mussi cho/thank you for your continued support of Keepers of the Water KeepersOfTheWater.ca/get-involved #Fundly #Donate

Hoping an investigation will reveal how this has happened. Respect for all life that is sacred needs to remembering that the land and all that dwell on it need to be safe in their own home even if it has no walls.

For those who need to know. Particularly people in the lower athabasca watershed region.

BREAKING More backlash and outright rejection of Jason Kenney's curriculum, which openly violates the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This t...ime the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations is saying it does not accept the material released this week. Earlier today, the Metis Nation of Alberta did much of the same. Clearly, the Premier needs to pump the brakes on this awful work immediately and get back to the table with Indigenous leaders.

Environmental racism is part of structural racism in Canada https://thenarwhal.ca/covid-19-environmental-racism-canada/

How can denial, delusion, and dishonesty be distracted by the BigFoot Children's movie scandal currently being marketed by the UCP government. Alberta's who chose to speak up maybe would find it helpful if their MLA's cared to learn and understand what is actually happening in Alberta??

Rest in Power Dr. Schindler ... Educating politicians about science-based policy was like playing chess with a gorilla, he said. The game is boring, and you know you are going to win, but you have got to be prepared to duck once in a while when they get angry and take a swing at you. May your work live on and on with new generations of scientists, Water, and Land Defenders... https://thetyee.ca//David-Schindler-Scientific-Giant-Fres/
