As Long As The River Flows

About As Long As The River Flows

As Indigenous People, we embody a remarkable resilience and unwavering determination, deeply understanding our profound connection to the land, water, animals, and plants. Despite the disruptive forces of colonization and residential schools, we are reclaiming our identities. The desire to learn our language and songs, participate in ceremonies, and reconnect with the land is a testament to our strength. As an environmental organization, Keepers of the Water witnesses the far-reaching impacts of the industry across our vast territorial homelands, naturally fueling our determination to protect them. Through this podcast, we amplify the voices of those who carry the Indigenous Knowledge, a beacon of hope guiding us towards a clean and just transition to a fossil-free world. Our traditional knowledge, deeply rooted in countless generations of storytellers, is not just a key but the key to the leading solutions to climate change. It is a testament to our collective history of resilience in the face of climate challenges. Keepers of the Water are First Nation, Métis, Inuit, environmental groups, and concerned citizens working together for the protection of water, air, and land. We acknowledge that all water is connected and that water is sacred. Clean, fresh water is invaluable for the future and survival of all of the life we share on this incredible planet.

   pisode 39 - Disarming Bill C-5/5: Indigenous Defence of Land & Democracy Part 4

   Episode 39 - Disarming Bill C-5/5: Indigenous Defence of Land & Democracy Part 4 of a 4 part series WHAT Part four of a four part series on Federal Bill C-5 and Ontario Bill 5 are moving fast — and their implications are profound. These bills contain what legal experts call "Henry the VIII clauses": sweeping powers that allow Cabinet to designate projects of "national interest" (PONIs) that are exempt from democratic process: free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), environmental assessments and protections, labour protections, and more — all behind closed doors. Put plainly: these laws legalize fascist behaviour. Community and solidarity is needed now more than ever. Fourteen First Nations are now part of a legal challenge that call out these bills as unconstitutional. This webinar brings together Indigenous leaders, legal experts, and frontline water defenders to share what's at stake, what's being fought for by First Nations and civil society, and how you can get involved. In part four you'll hear the "Q and A." The panel respond to questions presented by host Jessica Murray.
