From all over Mi’kma’ki and Nova Scotia we will stop the destruction of our lands and waters.
We stand together in solidarity with land defenders and water protectors at Tqamuoweye’katik — Hunter’s Mountain — and all resistance movements in Nova Scotia.Tell Tim Houston to stop selling our futures. Demand that he respect the Treaties, our democratic rights, and our community voices!
“If you live, work, play, or pray in Nova Scotia, we want you there. We want to hear your voices!”
— Mi’kmaw land defenders Michelle Paul and Glenda Junta
Bring your community banners, signs, flags and regalia. Bring your drums, songs and prayers.“Nature has rights; humans have responsibilities.” – Dr./Elder Albert Marshall
Writes Nina Newington:
“Horrified that Houston lifted the uranium ban? The fracking ban? Failed to protect our coastlines? Criminalised protest on public lands? Is clearcutting proposed protected areas? Entertains secret plans to turn provincial park land into a golf course (again)? Only lets the legislature sit for 8 days? All this after getting elected on false pretences.
“And that’s before we talk about the disrespect he has shown the Mi’kmaq.
“At the invitation of Mi’kmaw land defenders and water protectors, let’s stand up together, shoulder to shoulder, Mi’kmaw and settlers, and say a mighty Nova Scotia No to Houston’s extraction agenda. Stop trashing our province. Stop trashing democracy. Start protecting our lands, our waters, our future.”
