P. 43
“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.”
