A brilliant young activist from the exemplary Indigenous Environmental Network depicts how relentless organizing and alliances on the frontlines of resistance are stemming industrial society’s juggernaut to exploit unsustainable energy extraction from Native homelands and sacred lands of Turtle Island. He went on to become a globally respected leader and helps direct Canada’s Idle No More movement to honor indigenous sovereignty and land and water. This speech was presented at the 2006 Bioneers National Conference. Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges. To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.
