On Thursday, July 10, the O’odham Solidarity Project issued the following call to mobilize against the proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall, which will cut through the heart of the Tohono O’odham’s traditional territory (among others‘).

Looking at recent events in Caledonia, Deseronto, Brantford and at the US/CAN border, it’s seems absurd to ask that question. After all, the government is doing exactly what it did in the weeks and years leading up to Oka.

During the last week of June, indigenous representatives from the Bismark Sea region of Papua New Guinea held a three day gathering to discuss deep sea mining and what dangers they may face as a result of this experimental mining process.

The Canadian mining company Nautilus Minerals recently gained a contract from the government to pursue such a mine, off the East New Britain Coast.

After three days of talks, the representatives emerged as the Bismarck Solomon Seas Indigenous Peoples Council, with a plan to oppose Nautilus’ and any other deep sea mining project …

The latest threat, according to Ruth Levi, President of the Mawiw Council of First Nations, concerns the Mi’kmaq and Maliseet on the east coast.

Ruth says the two Nations “are experiencing growing frustration with the approach of industry and government toward achieving development and self-sufficiency in the province.”
