Warrior Life Podcast

LANDBACK Friends

Pam Palmater tweeted this episode of Warrior Life Podcast today. She says this podcast is a response to the call for Wet’suwet’en solidarity. Doing her part to help amplify Wet’suwet’en voices about violent RCMP actions happening right now and how we can help.

She was not able to conduct a face-to-face interview with Gidimt’en spokesperson, Molly Wickham – Sledo. So, she sent a series of questions to Sledo, who recorded her answers to them. The result is a powerful picture of what happened to the Wet’suwet’en in the past, and why it is so important to continue. “I want people to know we have a responsibility to be here doing this work.”

In Episode 111 of Warrior Life Podcast, we hear from Molly Wickham – Sleydo – a Gidimt’en clan member and spokesperson protecting Wet’suwet’en Nation lands and waters from destruction by Coastal Gaslink pipeline. She and other clan members…

O Dia dos Povos Indígenas é um feriado celebrado nos países colonizados para homenagear os povos indígenas e comemorar suas histórias e culturas – enquanto governos e empresas continuam a pilhar, saquear e roubar territórios indígenas!

Barbara Crane Navarro

Nos Estados Unidos, o Dia dos Povos Indígenas evoluiu como uma alternativa ao «dia da invasão» – o Dia de Colombo – que celebrava a chegada de Cristóvão Colombo ao Novo Mundo em 12 de outubro de 1492 e o início da colonização da América do Norte.

Os nativos americanos protestaram contra a ideia de homenagear um homem que permitiu seu genocídio e assimilação forçada.

Em toda a América do Norte hoje, as lutas indígenas contra as minas e oleodutos que deveriam passar por locais sagrados ou fontes de água em suas comunidades ainda estão em andamento. Eles conclamam o governo a «honrar os tratados!» e reconhecer que «Água é vida!»

Entre eles, o Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) põe em perigo o abastecimento de água da reserva Standing Rock Sioux no rio Missouri.

A Linha 3 é um projeto de expansão do oleoduto para transportar um milhão de barris de…

Wondering Wednesdays, Do More (was Baby Floors), Chapter 6 Introduction: How to get there from here

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post begins the rough draft of  Chapter 6 for my non-fiction WiP, Baby Floors/Baby Acres, now working titled Do More.    This chapter and those that follow put a roadmap in place for getting to where every child born could have at least a little studio apartment (I’ve even stayed in converted tiny hotel rooms that had been advertised as apartments, and thus learned never to rent sight unseen, even if it seems legit and  you are desperate), as small as a hotel room with a hot plate, fridge, and microwave.

Putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Since this is a short post (only 200 words or so), I’m putting all of the chapter 6 rough draft outlines below, since each chapter, past and future, ties back in to this chapter, via the high level…
