It is the traditional territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (TRTFN), who maintain strong ties to this landscape. It is also home …

Guerrero is best known for the Mexican beach resorts of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo, but few know that it continues to be the site of the most blatant human and economic rights violations in the country. Although the Sierra Club and other international groups once made the persecution of environmental activists in Guerrero an international scandal, attention has waned as abuses continue.

Guerrero: La ruta al sol is a gritty plea from people in Guerrero for international pressure and solidarity to help stop human rights violations in Guerrero and throughout Mexico. Interviews with Mexican human rights workers, massacre and torture survivors, and …

Sweet Crude, a documentary now in post-production, tells the story of Nigeria’s Niger Delta and the struggle of the People in the region. For 50 years, the people in the region known as the ’south-south’ have lived a life of hopelessness and desperation as they watch the land become devastated, and their own lives become unsustainable—not just because of the 6,000 reported oil spills (less than 50% of which are cleaned) rampant gas flaring (2.5 billion cubic feet of gas per day) and several major pipeline explosions that …

Three years ago the BC government sold Shell Canada drilling rights to explore for coalbed methane within Tahltan Lands, located in what’s now known as British Columbia, Canada.

The Talthan were never truly consulted in this business deal, hadn’t been informed of the dangers connected to Coalbed Methane, and in fact didn’t even known where Shell was planning to drill until they bulldozed an access road through a Tahltan trapper’s camp in the Sacred Headwaters region.

And I find it quote appauling that a country like the United States is legitimizing the theft of Western Shoshone land.”– Carrie Dann, Western Shoshone grandmother

The following 25 minute video focuses in on the struggles of Carrie and Mary Dann, two Western Shoshone Grandmothers who have since 1972 been working to protect their lands from the United States’ gradual encroachment and utter usurpation.

Their Nevada Territory—in fact two-thirds of the State …

Here’s an excellent “grab-you-by the throat” speech by Ghanaian economist George Ayittey, at a conference put together by TED.

George goes into the details and sources of corruption and economic exploitation in Africa—and moves on to explore Africa’s Traditional Governing systems, which he says are based on the Confederacy Principle: That most Africans view modern governing systems as inherently corrupt, and that they would traditionally take numerous steps to prevent corruption, for instance, create council upon council to ensure any governing authority could not become corrupt… And if they did, against the Peoples’ will, the leaders would be removed or the …
