“Our People have long carried an undue burden of environmental

                   degradation. We also carry the blessing and responsibility to speak


                   on behalf of our Mother Earth and all our silent relations. No longer


                   can we allow the environmental genocide being perpetrated on our

                   People by the extractive industry. We will rise and teach how to live


                   in harmony with all living things, as our prophecies have instructed.


                   We will not continue to serve as sacrifice zones for the extractive

                   industries to use and leave behind the environmental devastation


                   for us to die in.”
