Between land and water: Tribal relocation and resistance
By Celia Llopis-Jepsen
Published April 6, 2026"#ClimateChange is altering the land, and #Indigenous communities are on the frontline. This episode takes you to #Alaska, where rapid permafrost thaw is threatening the Native village of #Nunapitchuk. Then, we head to #Louisiana, where the #PointeAuChien Indian Tribe is losing its land to rising #SeaLevels. These tribes are forced to make a difficult decision between staying and adapting or leaving their ancestral homes. (This episode comes to us from the environmental podcast #SeaChange.)"

Brazil will collaborate with the Colombian and Dutch delegations to develop the road map outside the formal U.N. process, with the goal of bringing it back for discussion at COP31.
Experts say the Belém summit showed disappointing deals after ambitious promises, failing to address the environmental and economic needs of climate change.

#TruthBeforeReconcilliation #ColonizersLieAndSteal
#Bill14 & #Bill15 are #undemocratic bills that #BCNDP is shoving through. This #BCgovernment, under greasy #JohnHorgan groomed super sellout, former civil liberties lawyer guy, #DavidEby - is breaking its own law under the Declaration of the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples.
This type of #neoliberalism is right in line with #BillC5 from #GovernmentOfCanada under #MarkCarney federal Liberals(Conservatives, basically). They take actions which are against the publics' interests. They serve corporations over people & environment. They are always greenwashing & whitewashing, while helping with ecocidal corporate plundering & endangering our liveable futures.
These corrupted, corporate lobbyist pandering governments don't really give a damn about #IndigenousCommunities - they still want to exploit lands & steal resources without prior consultation or consent.

*One of my fierce sisters from another mister & fellow land/forest/water protectors, Jocey Alec & her family from #Wetsuweten #FirstNation are in this #documentary.
The #BCNDP & #GovernmentOfCanada are both still trying to criminalize environmental & #IndigenousSovereignty activism. The #BCgovernment created #RCMPCIRG in 2017 to crackdown on protestors. They are strictly a corporate mercenaries branch serving industry interests not public interests. Citizens tax monies are being exploited by BC NDP to pay these militarized thugs to commit violence so #ecocide corporations can profit more.*
Is #Canada at a point of no return, suffering the effects of #ClimateChange and worsening #wildfire seasons? Two controversial pipelines, the #TransMountain Expansion Project #TMX and #CoastalGasLink #CGL are being expanded and threatening the natural home of historically oppressed First Nations in Canada. But several First Nations are leading the fight against these massive #pipelines and becoming key advocates for protecting #nature from climate change.
Being a #LandDefender comes at a cost: harassment, detentions by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
#RCMP and threats from private security. But, in the face of setbacks, these #Indigenous #activists press on: “We are still fighting. This dance is not over yet.” In this episode, we hear the stories of the #IndigenousCommunities on the receiving end of these huge pipelines and their fight for the protection of both humans and nature.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g6-yzORlse4

#NuclearRevival? #Diné #Activist Warns Against New #UraniumMining as #AI, #Bitcoin Energy Needs Soar
#DemocracyNow
November 19, 2024"The search for an energy alternative to #FossilFuels has renewed interest in #NuclearPower production across the globe. Despite nuclear boosters’ promotion of the energy source, Tim Judson of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service [#NIRS] calls #NuclearPower an 'elaborate #greenwashing scheme.' Nuclear is 'not carbon-free,' says Diné organizer #LeonaMorgan, who highlights the fuel costs and #EnvironmentalContamination — particularly within and around #IndigenousCommunities in the #SouthwestUnitedStates — of the #UraniumMining required to produce nuclear power. Because the carbon costs before and after nuclear generation are not factored into energy calculations, says Morgan, 'it’s really not going to solve the #EnergyCrisis.'"

#Greenland is getting greener. That could have huge consequences for the world
By Angela Dewan, CNN
Published February 13, 2024"Warmer air temperatures have driven #IceLoss, which has in turn raised land temperatures. That has caused the melting of #permafrost, a frozen layer just beneath the Earth’s surface and found in much of the #Arctic, and that melt releases planet-warming #CarbonDioxide and #methane, contributing to more #GlobalWarming. #PermafrostMelt is also causing #LandInstability, which could impact infrastructure and buildings.
"'We have seen signs that the loss of ice is triggering other reactions which will result in further loss of ice and further ‘greening’ of Greenland, where shrinking ice exposes bare rock that is then colonized by tundra and eventually shrub,' one of the report’s authors, Jonathan Carrivick, said in a press release. 'At the same time, water released from the melting ice is moving sediment and silt, and that eventually forms wetlands and fenlands.'
"The loss of ice is creating what’s known as a #FeedbackLoop. Snow and ice typically reflect the sun’s energy back into space, preventing excessive heating in parts of the Earth. But as ice disappears, those areas absorb more solar energy, raising land surface temperatures, which can cause further melt and other negative impacts.
"#IceMelt also increases the amount of water in lakes, where water absorbs more heat than snow, which increases land surface temperatures.
"Greenland has been warming at twice the global mean rate since the 1970s, and the study’s authors warn that more extreme temperatures in the future are likely.
"Greenland is the world’s biggest island and is mostly covered by ice and #glaciers. Around 57,000 people live in the country, which is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. Much of the population is #indigenous and many people there rely on natural #ecosystems for their survival.
"Michael Grimes, the report’s lead author, said that the flow of sediments and nutrients into coastal waters was particularly problematic for #IndigenousCommunities that rely on fishing, as well as for hunters on other parts of the island.
"'These changes are critical, particularly for the indigenous populations whose traditional subsistence hunting practices rely on the stability of these delicate #ecosystems,' he said.
"'Moreover, the loss of ice mass in Greenland is a substantial contributor to #GlobalSeaLevelRise, a trend that poses significant challenges both now and in the future.'"

For years, #Indigenous people in the #NWT have been working to #decolonize names. That's included calls to scrap the word #slave from #GreatSlaveLake and #Slavey, changing them to something meaningful to Indigenous people.
The request the territory received back in 2022 suggested the lake's name reflect four #IndigenousLanguages: Dene Zhatıé, Dëne Sųłıné Yatıé, Tłıchǫ Yatıı̨̀ and Wıı̀lıı̀deh Yatıı̨̀. It was supported by the North Slave Métis Alliance and the former MLA for #Yellowknife North, according to information from Cleveland's department.
Georgina Fabian, an elder from Fort Providence, said the name 'Slavey' is a #colonial term that was imposed on her people.
"It shouldn't take this long ... but the problem with Great Slave Lake itself is that there are many #IndigenousCommunities that border the lake, so it is now a matter of which name you should choose ... so there is a lot of politics with that," Nokleby said.
