Geoengineering is defined as some emerging technologies that could manipulate the environment and partially offset some of the impacts of climate change. Seems like the perfect solution for a consumerist society that lives on instant gratification and can't stop polluting even at the risk of our futures, right? Well, let's slow down. Today we'll discuss the dangers of geoengineering and the ethics of the fact that these new technologies are being tested on Indigenous lands. GUESTS: Basav Sen – Climate Justice Project Director at the Institute for Policy Studies Dr. Steven Zornetzer – Vice-Chair, Governing Board of Arctic Ice Project Panganga Pungowiyi – Organizer for the nonprofit Indigenous Environmental Network in Alaska   The post The Promise and Peril of Geoengineering (encore) appeared first on KPFA.

For Earth Day, we bring back a special environmental episode from our archives!  As we head into an ever warming world, some experts and politicians are embracing a possible solution to climate change called geoengineering. Theoretically geoengineering could slow down climate change, stop it, and maybe even remove carbon from the air. It sounds like the perfect answer for a global political system that just can't stop burning fossil fuels even if it kills us all. But it might not be the easy fix we're hoping for. We talk to scientists and activists about what geoengineering is and why it could actually be a dangerous way to tackle climate change. We also dive into the moral and ethical questions of testing geoengineering technology on Indigenous lands. This episode first aired in 2023.

When Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke (Waikato, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou, Te Āti Awa, and Ngāi Tahu) performed a haka on the floor of New Zealand's Parliament, she brought global awareness of the constant colonial pressure to dismantle established rights for Indigenous people. In the viral video, she dramatically tears apart a proposed bill that would weaken Māori political standing established in a nearly 200 year-old treaty between the Crown and 500 Māori chiefs. She was suspended ... for a bill that may never become law. The fight in New Zealand exemplifies a resurgence in efforts to backtrack on the gains in recognition and respect for established Indigenous rights. Plus, we'll get Indigenous perspectives on the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference COP29 in Azerbaijan that just wrapped up. There is growing concern and dissatisfaction that the concerns of Indigenous people about their vulnerabilities to the effects of climate change are going unheard. GUESTS Professor Margaret Mutu (Ngāti Kahu, Te Rarawa, and Ngāti Whātua), Ngāti Kahu leader and professor of Māori Studies at the University of Auckland Debbie Ngarewa-Packer (Ngāti Ruanui, Ngāruahine, and Ngā Rauru), Member of Parliament and co-leader of Te Pāti Māori Professor Janine Hayward, professor of politics at the University of Otago Tom Goldtooth (Diné and Mdewakanton Dakota), executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network

Indigenous leaders from around the world are assessing the results – and lack thereof – from the annual international conference to determine the direction of environmental policy. Climate activists are severely criticizing the key document that emerged from the meeting hosted by one of the world's biggest oil producers for ignoring future petroleum phase-outs to fight climate change. We'll take on the 28th Annual Conference of Parties from an Indigenous perspective. GUESTS Ozawa Bineshi Albert (Anishinaabe and Yuchi), co-executive director of the Climate Justice Alliance Tom Goldtooth (Diné and Mdewakanton Dakota), executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network Janene Yazzie (Diné), Southwest regional director at NDN Collective

I recently had a great interview with Brenna TwoBears from the Indigenous Environmental Network, but I couldn't fit our whole conversation into our last full episode. Brenna came on to talk about IEN's ongoing fight to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how you can take action by submitting comments to the army corps of engineers by December 13th.   But we also covered a lot more ground, and I really appreciated what Brenna had to say on the broader context of an indigenous just transition, the proposed Thacker Pass lithium mine, and more!I think anyone who likes this show will too, so I'm putting out an extended version of our conversation.If you like what we're doing here on Coast Range Radio, please help us out by sharing this episode with your friends, and consider leaving us a nice review on whatever podcast app you use.Ps- if you don't know how to do that, feel free to email me at michael@coastrange.org and I'll send you directions.As always you can find all episodes of Coast Range Radio on apple podcasts, spotify, or any other podcast app, and at coastrange.org .And, last plug I promise, it would mean a lot to us at the coast range association for you to become a monthly donor at coastrange.org, or click this donate link.  We are a small outfit, but we're extremely passionate about this work, and your support is critical to our ability to be effective.Research Links/Show Notes:Indigenous Environmental Network: https://www.ienearth.org/IEN's DAPL action alert: https://www.ienearth.org/dapl-deis-public-comment-period-extended/Register for Dec 7th virtual comment writing party: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYrcuusqjIiHNSQqFH0ID1davrVIBxBkAs1#/registrationFurther reading on DAPL:https://truthout.org/articles/5-years-after-standing-rock-native-tribes-still-fight-dakota-access-pipeline/https://www.npr.org/2023/09/08/1198492185/dakota-access-pipeline-river-crossing-environmental-reviewSupport the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

Today, we have not one, but two amazing guests talking about two important and timely topics: the Dakota Access Pipeline fight, and the recent Elliot State Forest drama.Bob Sallinger joins to walk me through the bombshell that Oregon State University just dropped on the Elliott State forest process, and why them walking away might actually be good news.But first, we'll hear a short excerpt of my conversation with Brenna TwoBears from the Indigenous Environmental Network about their ongoing fight to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how you can take action by submitting comments to the army corps of engineers by December 13th.  My conversation with Brenna was really fun and we covered way more ground than I could fit into this episode, so I'm releasing the extended interview as a bonus podcast.  I hope you give that a listen, I think fans of this show will really appreciate the full conversation!Speaking of our podcast feed, we have very few reviews and ratings, and it would mean a lot to me if a few more listeners gave us a rating and review.

Hopefully, you've already heard our last two episodes on the Who Will Own The Forest conference, or maybe you attended the Forests Over Profits protest or counter-conference that We helped organize in response.If not, I would highly encourage you to go back and listen to the episode I did a few weeks back called, “Who Will Own the Forest, with Brenna Bell” so you can have some context for this episode.  You can also go to forestsoverprofits.org to learn more.As everyone who attended our counter-conference can attest, it was a packed day of inspiring and enraging presentations, and I am working to get as many of them as possible uploaded as bonus episodes in the coming weeks.  This episode features one of my favorites, a panel presentation with Brenna TwoBear and Thomas Joseph of the Indigenous Environmental Network Panel (IEN).  They were also joined by IEN interns Elisa Soto-Danseco and Joshua Witchger, who actually went inside the Who Will Own The Forest Conference and gave a reportback on what they saw from the inside.See Below for links and further reading, and learn more about the Indigenous Environmental Network at IENearth.org.  Research Links/Show Notes:CRR #65: Who Will Own The Forest, with Brenna Bell:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who-will-own-the-forest-with-brenna-bell/id1510457358?i=1000627598597https://coastrange.org/Forestsoverprofits.orgIndigenous Environmental Networkhttps://www.ienearth.org/https://www.puebloactionalliance.org/no-false-solutionshttps://www.ienearth.org/nature-based-solutions/Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

This September, The Coast Range Association, along with partners like 350pdx, Indigenous Environmental Network, Rainforest Action Network, the Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance, and many more, organized a major protest and counter conference in response to the Who Will Own The Forest timber investor conference.If you aren't familiar with the Who Will Own the Forest Conference, I'd encourage you to listen to the episode with Brenna Bell of 350pdx, which you can find on this pod feed or at our website, coastrange.org.The short version is that Who Will Own The Forest is an annual “timberland investment conference” bringing together some of the world's biggest climate polluters, corporate forest clear-cutters, finance giants, and false climate solutions peddlers.  Just to name a few, JP morgan-Chase, weyerhauser,  BP,  the list goes on and on, but you get the idea. Attendees come from all over the world to scheme on ever more efficient ways to exploit communities and natural resources, sabotage efforts to decarbonize, and extract maximum profits for the 1%.So in response, we staged a day long protest outside of the conference which drew around two hundred people, and the next day, we held a day long, Forests Over Profits  counter conference which was attended by roughly the same number of folks! There is clearly an appetite for taking on Wall St's exploitation of forestlands, and I'm so excited to see where this movement goes from here.  If you want to learn more or get involved, email me at michael@coastrange.org.For today's episode, I'm going to be airing a few clips from our Forests over Profits Conference, and I will be putting out another episode or two highlighting different presentations from the Forests Over Profits Conference soon.  I'm releasing this episode on Indigenous People's Day, October 9th, So in honor of that, today's episode will focus on clips from some of our conference's Indigenous presenters, including an Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) panel discussion and a talk on the commercialization of Huckleberries and other sacred foods.  The Indigenous Environmental Network panel in particular was really powerful and inspiring, but I only have time to air a few clips for our radio edition.   I really encourage you to listen to their entire presentation, so I'll be putting out the full discussion as a bonus episode on this feed.Links and resources:CRR #65: Who Will Own The Forest, with Brenna Bell:More about our campaigns:https://coastrange.org/Forestsoverprofits.orghttps://www.ienearth.org/The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative False Solutions AllianceHuckleberry commercializationFairy Creek campaign:-Amazing documentary https://rematriationthefilm.com/-About Grandma LosahSupport the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

We talk a lot on this show about the devastation wrought on our environment and communities by invasive capitalism, and today we get to talk about something tangible we can do to fight back!On September 26-28, Wall Street investors will join timber corporations, big oil, carbon offset & biomass companies in Portland for their annual “Who Will Own the Forest?” conference. With tickets costing over two thousand dollars apiece, this “timberland investment conference” brings together some of the world's biggest climate polluters, corporate forest clear-cutters, and false climate solutions peddlers.  For anyone who's watched the Godfather movie's, I liken this conference to the scene where the mafia bosses are all gathered around a cake with an image of Cuba on the top, divvying up the pieces of the island and deciding who gets control over what.But instead of Who WILL Own the Forest, we should be asking, who should own the forest?  Should forests even be owned?  And should the greatest value of our forests be reduced to quarterly returns for wealthy investors?A coalition of groups, including 350, Indigenous Environmental Network, Rainforest Action Network, the Coast Range association, and many more, think these are some of the questions that should be asked at the Who Will Own the Forest Conference.  And even though we weren't invited to this event, we're going anyway, and you are invited to join us!To talk about “Who will own the forest”, our response, and how to get involved in disrupting invasive capital's plans, I'm joined by Brenna Bell, the Forest Climate Manager for 350PDX.  She has been deeply involved in forest defense for over two decades, and is co-founder of the Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance.  Links and Resources:https://forestsoverprofits.org/https://www.worldforestry.org/who-will-own-the-forest/Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

This week on Minnesota Native News, reporter Emma Needham provides an update about ongoing work by Native organizations and activists to protect water and land throughout Minnesota.Across Minnesota, Indigenous peoples and their allies work to uphold their traditional obligations and duties to protect the land, air, and water for the next seven generations. Mid-July was busy for many, with events in the metro and the northland."What's the longest you've ever gone without water? Anybody go on a fast a four-day fast? Do I hear three days anybody go on a three-day fast? Today days. Has anybody gone two days? Oh, I see Heidi over there has gone two days…. Ah, anybody else? No. Why is that? Ay, you need to have water to survive. How simple is that?" said Debra Topping, closing the Spirit of the Water Celebration with a reminder to attendees about the importance of water.Spirit of the Water Celebration was held at Hidden Falls Regional Park in St. Paul on July 15th. The event was a gathering of Indigenous and non-indigenous relatives celebrating and giving thanks to water, and Gitchi Zibi, the Mississippi River. Tents with trivia, kids' games, and involvement for the community lined the hill-  with a free concert and meal provided for all in attendance. Elder Carrie Huff Cheznik of the Oneida Nation expressed her deep concerns for the water in Minnesota amid an unprecedented drought and reported damage to underground aquifers from the construction of the Line 3/93 Pipeline in 2021. She urges people to take action."Because the people are the ones who can really make the changes if they want to. The people have the power to do it. They just don't remember that they do. And what I would like to say is, gather yourselves up my friends, it's time it's time to stand, it's time to speak, it's time to keep pressuring the elected officials until they do right by all of life," said Carrie. Supporting organizations for this event include Friends of the Mississippi River, The Leadership Center for Social Justice, RISE Coalition, and the Indigenous Environmental Network, or IEN.On the same day, at the Rail River Folk School in Bemidji, IEN, in partnership with the Earth Law Center (ELC) hosted a 2-day work session on Inherent Relationships Jurisprudence - Inherent Relationships with Nature/Rights of Mother Earth. The session focused on finding ways to exercise the legal rights of nature, including plants, water, land, and animals in Western court systems that view the natural world differently than Indigenous people.I spoke with Micheal Lane of the Menominee Nation, an indigenous sovereignty advocate for IEN. Micheal quotes Dwayne “Chili” Yazzie of the Dine or Navajo Nation, and a member of the International Treaty Council Board:  "So in terms of the key, one of the key statements that came out, I was allowed to say this publicly by the person who said, Chili Yazzie…he said something that was really important. And I'll say this, as a quote, we need to be who we are. Now, it sounds very simple, of course, we need to be who we are. But that's how he's talking about collectively when we go to the court and things of that nature. Oftentimes, we count things in that non-Indigenous framework. And what he was talking about was, when we go to these places, we shouldn't have to go and justify ourselves and be hiding behind other veneers in the non-indigenous legal system. We need to be who we are, it means asserting our advocacy …from our own place of existence as Indigenous peoples of the land," said Michael. Micheal says the Bemijdji event was the second of 4 events planned with various tribes across Turtle Island.  A summary of the Inherent Rights Working Group events will be available on IEN's website (a similar summary from 2017 is available now).Emma Needham reporting for MN Native News

For over 35 years, Bradley has been a local and national leader in the environmental health and justice movement and has helped communities win some of the most significant victories in the history of that movement. In 1990, Bradley helped bring together grassroots Indigenous leaders in the first Protecting Mother Earth/Toxic Threat to Indian Lands Conference which led to the formation of the Indigenous Environmental Network. In 2008, Bradley was one of five people from around the world chosen as a recipient of 2008 Lannan Foundation's Cultural Freedom Award in recognition of his decades of work with hundreds of diverse communities and Native Nations impacted and threatened by pollution and injustice. In 2014 Bradley was the recipient of the 2014 “Environmental Justice Angel Award” from the East Los Angeles Community Youth Center for his environmental justice work empowering and supporting youth and Latino communities. Bradley played a lead role in the landmark settlement in 2016 of the Title VI Civil Rights complaint filed by Greenaction and El Pueblo of Kettleman City that successfully challenged racially discriminatory actions by state agencies in environmental decision-making.

The Biden Administration touts support for tribal consultation; policies aimed at helping Native businesses; federal money for energy projects, infrastructure, and connectivity; and respect for Native land among the accomplishments that favor Indian Country since he took office. Some other federal land and energy policies have drawn both praise and criticism. With President's Day coming up, we discuss how President Joe Biden's term so far resonates with tribal interests with Torivio Fodder (Taos Pueblo), manager of the Indigenous Governance Program at the University of Arizona and professor of practice at James E. Rogers College of Law, and Jordan Harmon (Muscogee Creek Nation citizen), policy analyst and legislative advocate for the Indigenous Environmental Network. Plus, we celebrate World Radio Day with Joseph Orozco (Hoopa), website content coordinator at KIDE.

The International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity warns Indigenous priorities may not be heard or heeded at the COP15 UN Biodiversity Conference that just got underway in Montreal. They worry the direction of the new set of international conservation goals could set up “the largest land grab in history”. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce takes us inside this major event with Ta'Kaiya Blaney (Tla'Amin First Nation), environmental activist, actor, singer-songwriter, and speaker; Rochelle Diver (Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe), NDN Collective Changemaker and international Indigenous rights consultant; and Thomas Joseph (Hoopa), carbon pricing organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network.

Carbon markets are emerging as a leading tool for tackling our climate crisis, but are they actually getting to the root of the crisis?  In this episode, we speak with Tom Goldtooth (Dine' and Dakota), executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network, an organization of Indigenous Peoples building economically sustainable, environmentally just, healthy communities. Tom is particularly knowledgeable about the growing use of regenerative agriculture to capture carbon in our soils to sell as carbon credits, but has concerns about how it is progressing as a new form of colonization and corporate ownership of lands, and through that, our food supply.

The new legislation just signed into law includes unprecedented investment into measures intended to reduce climate change. It sends millions of dollars to tribal projects, but also keeps in place reliance on polluters. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce finds how the Inflation Reduction Act is a boost for the planet with Pilar Thomas (Pascua Yaqui), partner in the Quarles and Brady law firm's Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Practice Group and a law professor at Arizona State University; Jordan Harmon (Muscogee Creek), policy analyst and legislative advocate for the Indigenous Environmental Network; Brett Isaac (Diné), executive chairman at Navajo Power; and Jill Sherman-Warne (Hoopa), executive director for the Native American Environmental Protection Coalition and a Hoopa tribal councilmember.

The inflation Reduction Act is being heralded by many environmental groups as a major victory in the fight against global warming. But the bill has provoked criticism that it funds harmful false solutions and that environmental justice organizations, communities that they represent, and their concerns were ignored as the $360 billion deal was made. In this episode of Breaking green, we will talk with Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright. Anthony publicly resigned from the board of Evergreen Action, a group whose stated mission is to build an all out national mobilization to defeat the climate crisis. In his notice of resignation, Anthony noted Evergreen Action's failure to properly involve or communicate with environmental justice communities during critical phases of creating and passing the Inflation Reduction Act. He says that those left out of the process by the bigger, largely white driven environmental groups are those that will be most directly impacted by the fossil fuel false solutions increased mining and other extractive provisions contained in the bill. Anthony serves as the Director of Environmental Justice for the group New York Lawyers for the Public Interest. He also served as the policy coordinator and Green New Deal policy lead at the Climate Justice Alliance. Anthony also led the effort to make the former Colorado Health Insurance Cooperative, the first health insurance provider in the state's history to remove transgender exclusions in 2012. He worked as a policy advisor for Senator Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign in 2020, as well as Senator Bernie Sanders presidential campaigns of 2016 and 2020. He also serves on the board of directors of France, the Earth, the Backbone Campaign, and the Center for Sustainable Economy.

In this rebroadcast episode from 2021, Maria and Julio are joined by Kendra Pierre-Louis, climate reporter with Gimlet, and Dallas Goldtooth, organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network. They discuss how communities of color are the most impacted by climate disasters globally, and also how they are at the forefront of pushing for climate justice. ITT Staff Picks: To combat this summer's heat wave and protect civilians, Congress could pass policy to stop utility shutoffs even if a customer has missed a payment, reports Rebecca Leber for Vox. For Truthout, Leanna First-Arai reports about the bridge between racial justice, climate justice and the labor movement. “Record-breaking temperatures can quickly become a health risk for the largely Black and Brown incarcerated population, particularly in the South,” reports Trone Dowd for VICE.

Today on Sojourner Truth, we are bringing you a special broadcast on the environment: Part 4 of Hoodwinked in the Hothouse series: Greenwashing Disaster Capital. This is the fourth panel of a series that builds on the momentum created by the most recent report titled: HOODWINKED IN THE HOTHOUSE (THIRD EDITION): RESIST FALSE SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. Moderated by Tom Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network and co-organized by the Hoodwinked Collaborative and The New School. As part of President Biden's infrastructure plan, federal and state governments are providing billions in so-called climate subsidies, policy incentives and tax breaks to dangerous and dirty energy industries. These include: biomass and waste incinerators; nuclear power, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure for fossil-fuel facilities. The direct impact is to frontline and environmental justice communities who are facing increased pollution burdens and toxic threats. In part 4 the speakers examine and present data for how movement concepts, narratives and knowledge are co-opted to promote a corporate agenda. Todays panel discussion highlights emergent threats of climate false solutions across U.S. federal and state policy landscapes. Panelists are community campaigners, community leaders, researchers, and frontline organizations who are fighting the myths associated with carbon capture and storage, nuclear, hydrogen, biofuels and waste incineration. Along with debunking what they see as false climate crisis solutions, they also highlight inspiring stories of success led by environmental justice communities. They point out that to effectively move money away from dangerous policy directions and towards real climate justice solutions, coalition building is needed amongst national green groups, labor unions, climate philanthropy, and policymakers who should work with frontline communities in opposing these schemes.

Host:This is Minnesota Native News, I'm Marie Rock. Coming up, the new Indigenous Parent Leadership Initiative helps empower parent voices at Red Lake and White Earth Nations. And it's been a year since the Clearbrook Aquifer was punctured. Calls for accountability and action were held at the site and in the Twin Cities. Here's reporter Leah Lemm with more.Reporter:Indigenous Visioning is bringing Country. Indigenous Visioning has partnered with the National Parent Leadership Institute, White Earth Nation, Red Lake Nation, and Dr. Anton Treuer to create a curriculum grounded in Indigenous and Ojibwe values. Beth Ann Dodds is the project coordinator at Indigenous Visioning, and the project manager for the Indigenous Parent Leadership Initiative.Beth Ann Dodds:The Initiative is a free 21 week program that integrates child development, leadership, democracy skills, and the Ojibwe culture in to a parent curriculum to help empower the parent voice. We are currently implementing in the Red Lake Nation and the White Earth Nation, and aim to start classes at the end of March.Reporter:Indigenous Visioning asked Dr. Anton Treuer to help build the curriculum?Beth Ann Dodds:And he said yes. And with the help of tribal elders between Red Lake and White Earth, the curriculum was born. This is really about empowering the parent voice in the tribal nations.Reporter:And the structure of the program is based on the one at the National Parent Leadership Institute, and it all starts with self reflection.Beth Ann Dodds:They dig deep within themselves to understand their own thoughts about the trauma that they've experienced. Those are the first 10 weeks. Second 10 weeks are about all right, now that we've discovered ourselves and we are empowering our voices, how do we navigate through the system?Reporter:And those helping the parents along in the process are a part of the communities that they're working in.Beth Ann Dodds:The facilitators that are guiding the participants through this initiative are from each of the tribal communities, they are not from the outside. They represent the community where the initiative is taking place.Reporter:Beth Ann Dodds has been interviewing parents for the program and she describes an example of how one particular parent could benefit.Beth Ann Dodds:She was quite unsure of what this could do for her, but shared the story of lack of communication skills when she approached the Tribal Council, and how her voice shook, and she cried, and she swore, and her emotions got the best of her. This Initiative can help someone like her look at her own emotions, and it can help her effectively use her voice to approach the Tribal Council and ask for help.Reporter:Information and applications can be found at indigenousvisioning.com.Reporter:Next, it's been a year since Enbridge Energy deviated from its plans while trenching line three tar sands oil pipeline. The DNR's low risk construction permit allowed for a depth of trenching at eight to 10 feet, but Enbridge dug to a depth of 18 feet and punctured the Artesian Aquifer in Clearbrook, Minnesota. There was no notification to the DNR according to a statement from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. In a statement the DNR said Enbridge's actions are clear violations of state law and also of public trust. This should never have happened and we're holding the company fully accountable.Reporter:The DNR ordered Enbridge Energy to pay $3.32 million for, "failure to follow environmental laws." On January 21st the R.I.S.E. Coalition and Indigenous Environmental Network led a ceremony at the site of last year's Clearbrook Aquifer breach. Honor The Earth and a number of organizations demonstrated outside the DNR office in St. Paul. The Indigenous and Environmental Organizations and concerned citizens called on officials to fix regulatory processes and to hold Enbridge accountable. In a statement on the website Enbridge says the company, "Takes protecting the environment seriously and is working with the DNR to resolve the situation quickly." For Minnesota Native News, I'm Leah Lemm.

Sojourner Truth Radio presents an exclusive debrief on the most recent edition of the climate impact report entitled "Hoodwinked in the Hothouse: Resisting False Solutions to Climate Change," written by the Global Justice Ecology Project and the Indigenous Environmental Network in partnership with several grassroots organizations from around the globe. The report raises awareness about false climate solutions that champion superficial changes supported by the fossil fuel industry, and multi-billion corporations. The release of this report comes shortly after the COP 15 Conference where these corporations, and the fossil fuel industry dominated attendance and participation throughout the conference while excluding some of the frontline communities from around the globe most severely impacted by the exploitation of resources. The recent report compiled by this coalition presents sustainable solutions to climate change that center on indigenous practices and resistance to these band aid false solutions. Today we will hear a round table discussion debriefing the report results and solutions with members of this coalition including Tom Goldtooth, E.D. for The Indigenous Environmental Network, Jackie Patterson of The Chisom Legacy Project, Monica de Oro from the Micronesia Climate Justice Alliance, and Ariel Chukwe Derange E.D. for Indigenous Climate Action.

The third Thursday in November is a National Day of Mourning, where we mourn the genocide of millions of Native people and the theft of Native land, and where we honor the ongoing struggle for Native liberation and Land Back across Turtle Island.In honor of Indigenous Peoples Day last month — and in support of the Indigenous-led week of action People v. Fossil Fuels — the Indigenous Environmental Network, The Red Nation, and the Center for Constitutional Rights held an online discussion with frontline Indigenous Water Protectors: Water Is Our Critical Infrastructure — Lawfare by Oil and Gas Won't Stop Us from Winning. Activists Anne White Hat (Sicangu Lakota Oyate) and Sungmanitu Bluebird (Oglala Sioux) joined Center for Constitutional Rights Senior Attorney Pamela Spees and moderator Advocacy Director Nadia Ben-Yousef to discuss the increasingly desperate tactics by the oil and gas industry to draft and pass laws that target Indigenous people and threaten all those who take an unflinching stance against capitalist violence and the destruction of the Earth. They highlighted the important legal victory by Anne White Hat and other Water Protectors who fought back against Louisiana's industry-developed “critical infrastructure” law—and won! This podcast is taken from that event, with a new introduction from Nadia Ben-Youssef situating the discussion in the context of the National Day of Mourning. Resources:Report from the Indigenous Environmental Network: Indigenous Resistance Against CarbonThe Red Nation and The Red Deal White Hat v.

Today on Sojourner Truth: One of two contentious and highly-watched court trials in U.S. history are now taking place, both of which will have an impact on race relations in the country. One of them is the trial of three white men accused of killing a young Black jogger last year in broad daylight in Georgia. Ahmaud Arbery was shot on February 23, 2020 by Gregory and Travis McMichael, and pursued by William Bryan. Today, we focus on the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old young white man who shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as seriously wounding Gaige Grosskreutz. Our guest is Kieran Knutson, President of CWA Local 7250 and has been active in protests in solidarity with George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. Kieran is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Also, on Saturday, November 13, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26, came to a close. The conference, which took place in Glasgow, Scotland, has been described by many as a failure and a disappointment. Like many of the decisions that came out of the COP26 climate summit, the final agreement has been widely critiqued as being weak and ineffective. Our guest is Tom Goldtooth, the executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network. Tom has been awarded with recognition of his achievements throughout the past 40 years as an activist for social change and indigenous-based just transition within the Indigenous and environmental and climate justice movements.

Today, we focus on the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old young white man who shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as seriously wounding Gaige Grosskreutz. Our guest is Kieran Knutson, President of CWA Local 7250 and has been active in protests in solidarity with George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. Kieran is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Also, on Saturday, November 13, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26, came to a close. The conference, which took place in Glasgow, Scotland, has been described by many as a failure and a disappointment. Like many of the decisions that came out of the COP26 climate summit, the final agreement has been widely critiqued as being weak and ineffective. Our guest is Tom Goldtooth, the executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network. Tom has been awarded with recognition of his achievements throughout the past 40 years as an activist for social change and indigenous-based just transition within the Indigenous and environmental and climate justice movements.

Indigenous peoples have been on the frontlines protecting the planet from environmental devastation. They are also part of frontline communities severely impacted by the exploitation of Mother Earth, and have asked that we have another relationship with nature. They have made significant gains. In September of 2021, the Indigenous Environmental Network and Oil Change International released a report entitled Indigenous Resistance Against Carbon. The report analyzes the impact Indigenous resistance to fossil fuel projects in the United States and Canada has had on greenhouse gas emissions over the past 10 years. According to the report, Indigenous resistance has stopped or delayed greenhouse gas pollution equivalent to at least 25 percent of annual U.S. and Canadian emissions. Indeed, Indigenous peoples have long led the fight to protect Mother Earth and many say the only way forward is to center Indigenous knowledge and keep fossil fuels in the ground. Not only have Indigenous peoples directly confronted climate change head-on, most often putting their lives on the line. For decades, the Global Justice Ecology Project, as well as other environmental campaigners, have been raising alarms about false climate solutions. They have pointed out that these false climate solutions only provide superficial and cosmetic changes to an urgent systemic problem. As the United Nations prepares for its upcoming COP 26 climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland, from Nov. 1-12, Indigenous and other environmental campaigners continue to speak out against these false solutions. This, as we're facing what is increasingly described as a climate catastrophe. A coalition of grassroots Indigenous and environmental movements have released a new third edition of a report titled, Hoodwinked in the Hothouse: Resist False Solutions to Climate Change. It is an easy-to-read, concise-yet-comprehensive compendium of the false corporate promises, which its authors say lead us down risky pathways poised to waste billions of public dollars on a host of corporate snake-oil schemes and market-based mechanisms. Hoodwinked in the Hothouse also provides a robust framework for understanding the depth of real solutions and how they should be determined, rooted in pro-Indigenous, pro-environment, and anti-capitalist thought. Previous editions of Hoodwinked in the Hothouse played a major role in raising awareness across climate movements around the world; both helping frontline organizers in their fights against destructive energy proposals, and shifting policy positions of large non-governmental organizations. Today on Sojourner Truth, we bring you Part 1 of our two-part Hoodwinked in the Hothouse series, featuring an international panel of climate justice organizers and frontline community leaders. The speakers include: Eriel Tchekwie Deranger, Executive Director of Indigenous Climate Action; Jacqui Patterson of the Chisholm Legacy Project; Moeka De Oro of Micronesia Climate Justice Alliance; and Tom Goldtooth, Executive Director of the Indigenous Environmental Network. They discuss the new Hoodwinked in the Hothouse report, as well as the multi-billion dollar climate investments being promoted by fossil fuel industries and other disaster capitalists.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Thousands of Haitians are being deported by the Biden Administration. Video has emerged of U.S. Border Patrol agents chasing down Haitians on horseback and whipping them. One can be heard referring to Haiti as a s-hole country. What's going on? Our guest is Nana Gyamfi, an attorney, consultant, educator, activist, the Executive Director of Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI), and the President of the National Conference of Black Lawyers. The Indigenous Environmental Network has called for a postponement of the upcoming COP26. The UN governmental conference on the environment scheduled to be held in November in Glasgow, Scotland. This, amid the growing environmental catastrophe. We find out what's behind that call from Alberto Saldamando, the Indigenous Environmental Network's Counsel on Climate Change and Indigenous and Human Rights. Barney Bush, a Shawnee/Cayuga poet, activist and educator, has died. We pay tribute to him as we hear some of his words from his keynote speech to the 2019 Forest & Climate Movement Convergence gathering in Shawnee National Forest.
