Tucson just renamed a park to be named after a Tohono O'odham leader instead of after that one bad guy. Apparently it passed unanimously. Hooray! #Tucson #IndigenousLeaders https://www.kgun9.com/news/community-inspired-journalism/westside-news/christopher-columbus-park-renamed-to-honor-tohono-oodham-educator

Tsahaukuse, George Quocksister Jr. is a #HereditaryChief of the #Laichkwiltach Nation and the son of Elizabeth and George Quocksister. He is a passionate advocate for the protection of #WildSalmon as a crucial part of his culture and the food security of his people, and is working to ban the practice of #SalmonFarming on the west coast. He lives in Campbell River, BC.

This is from our 2020 #DiscoveryIslands flotilla protest & restocking patrol with George & 2 other BC Indigenous Chiefs(Darren Blaney & Bill Wilson) from North Island regions.

The fight to get fish farms out of BC waters started in the late 80s & continues.

Despite all Land Defenders holding a valid proxy, RBC executives would not allow them to enter the main room and instead had their security guards lay hands on Indigenous elders in an attempt to bar them from participation. In the end, Land Defenders were forced to participate from a secondary room. Show your support for #landdefenders and sign this letter. #extinctionrebellion #rbc #banking #IndigenousLeaders

#Protecting #boreal #caribou has a #RippleEffect in the #ecosystem by #preserving #migratory #bird #habitats and #mitigating #ClimateChange by keeping #forests intact, she said. The #species is also #important to #Indigenous communities that practise #traditional #hunting and #trapping .

Her hope is for #government and #industry officials to #listen to the #recommendations that have been made by #environmental groups and #IndigenousLeaders for years.
