The federal government needs the support of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> peoples to expand nuclear power generation capacity in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a>. </p><p>"For millennia, the cornerstones of the Indigenous people that inhabit Turtle Island, now known as North America, held all that is essential to life, in reverence. Every decision considered the next 7 generations. These cornerstones are crumbling.</p><p>"Newcomers, armed with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Colonizing</span></a> tool, 'The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DoctrineOfDiscovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DoctrineOfDiscovery</span></a>' and their mentality of superiority, invaded the land of those they called 'Savages,' almost totally exterminating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Skicinuwok" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Skicinuwok</span></a>, People of The Earth.</p><p>"Determined to bestow Christianity and civility to this wild untamed population, old growth forests were cut, rivers and streams were dammed to power sawmills, roads and railroads were built, bridges erected. All to create an infrastructure for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a>, a system to make a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/profit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>profit</span></a>, that morphed into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/greed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greed</span></a>, a word of foreign root. This unbridled desire for progress has ruined what was once called Paradise.</p><p>"Now most water is not fit to drink, clean air is scarce, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deforestation</span></a> is rampant, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> loss out of control, plants genetically modified, food manufactured with unpronounceable chemicals, caged fish starved of oxygen while being fed chicken feathers and pig parts, cancer cases in the millions, the list goes on.</p><p>"As the population increased over this continent the available sources for power generation have not been able to satisfy the insatiable desires of the 'bigger, better, faster, more is never enough' mentality. Some have finally acknowledged the fact that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> are not the golden egg they were once deemed to be.</p><p>"So-called '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenEnergy</span></a>' is required to slow the blind drive to extinction of man; man, who is considered by some to be the most intelligent creature to ever roam Earth. Unfortunately, the lure of riches and the corruption of self-serving purposes have led man to stray from practices that nurture everything required to sustain life on this tiny blue marble floating through the universe.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPower</span></a> is now being touted as being 'Green.' It is not. Big money corporations are lobbying legislators to convince them and the public that it is. They are also lobbying to convince the public that they should foot the bill in the form of taxes and rate hikes, for a process that pollutes from the day it starts. Water is life. As soon as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uranium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uranium</span></a> is mined from the earth it begins to contaminate the water in surrounding aquifers.</p><p>"When the uranium is processed sufficiently, it is used as fuel for reactors where it generates heat while delivering electricity, not just for essential needs, but also for many things once considered luxuries. This fission generated heat is then dumped into nearby waters where it kills thousands, if not millions of small beings that form the basis of life itself.</p><p>"After this radioactive fuel is depleted, it is stored in various containers where it will stay radioactive for eons. Indigenous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Grandmothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grandmothers</span></a> have labelled it 'Forever Dangerous.'</p><p>"The power generated during the fission process benefits only those who exist today as the process occurs, not those born tomorrow or next week or next month. All the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveWaste</span></a> and the inherent danger it creates is left to future generations, kicking the can down the road.</p><p>"What better place to dump this waste than in an area with a population that has witnessed Newcomers enrich themselves for hundreds of years? Yes, what better place than a population that has been targeted for assimilation, suffered theft of lands, witnessed the taking of naturally bestowed rights? A population that has been subjected to racial Indian Act legislation essentially stripping away all that sustained this population for thousands of years.</p><p>"Yes, let us give the Indians some more shiny beads and trinkets so that they willingly agree to care for our radioactive garbage. How do we do this? Let’s talk to the Chief and Council. Let’s wine and dine them. Let’s give them some money, take them to dinner, buy some drinks and make them feel all festive and most of all make them think we are looking out for their best interests. Some Chiefs have taken the bait.</p><p>"Egregious as it may be, this is exactly what is happening in some Indigenous communities contrary to the will of the majority. Elected Chiefs are continuing the deception as they are blinded and professing the 'Nuclear is Green' mantra. They have lost connection with the Spirit of Ancestors and traditional values. They need to have a serious introspection and realize that looking forward, we need only look back at what has sustained us to this point in time. We need not do any more than that."</p><p>Eric lives in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeskotomuhkatiNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeskotomuhkatiNation</span></a> territory in Maine and stands shoulder to shoulder with his Peskotomuhkati relations in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewBrunswick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewBrunswick</span></a> in the struggle to achieve Canadian Government recognition.</p><p><a href="https://www.wabanakireach.org/first_nations_chiefs_shouldn_t_be_duped_by_the_nuclear_is_green_deception_by_william_altvater" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wabanakireach.org/first_nation</span><span class="invisible">s_chiefs_shouldn_t_be_duped_by_the_nuclear_is_green_deception_by_william_altvater</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNewNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNewNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AirIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UraniumMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMilling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UraniumMilling</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeaveItInTheGround" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeaveItInTheGround</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greenwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greenwashing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearIsNotCarbonFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearIsNotCarbonFree</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearIsNotGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearIsNotGreen</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CanadaPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadaPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWaste</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HoltecLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoltecLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearColonialism</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>Promulgated in papal edicts, the 🔺Doctrine of Discovery🔺<br>proclaimed the superiority of Christian civilization and authorized Europeans to claim ownership of any newly “discovered” lands inhabited by non-Christians. </p><p>The doctrine became part of U.S. law in an 1823 Supreme Court ruling that held the U.S. government had “an exclusive right to extinguish the Indian title of occupancy.”&nbsp;</p><p>Robert P. Jones views the doctrine as a “Rosetta Stone” for understanding the “sense of divine entitlement, of European Christian chosenness, [that] has shaped the worldview of most white Americans.”</p><p>To show how whites’ sense of entitlement has played out in America, 👉Jones's book "The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy and the Path to a Shared American Future" examines three localities, each the site of white outrages against African-Americans: <br>🔸the Mississippi Delta, site of the 1955 murder of Emmitt Till; <br>🔸Duluth, Minnesota, where in 1920 a mob of more 10,000 whites lynched three Black men; and <br>🔸Tulsa, Oklahoma, where in 1921, whites descended on the prosperous Black district of Greenwood, burning homes and businesses and killing between 100 and 300 people. </p><p>In each case, the whites responsible faced little or no punishment.</p><p>These atrocities were foreshadowed by earlier white violence in those areas toward Native Americans. </p><p>🔷A century before Till’s murder, the U.S. government forcibly removed the Choctaw people from the Mississippi Delta, clearing the land for white settlement and a plantation economy exploiting Black slave labor. </p><p>Jones then shares tales of white depredations against Native Americans in Minnesota and Oklahoma. </p><p>🔷In 1862, some Dakota people in Minnesota rebelled against white mistreatment and treaty violations. At the end of the five-week uprising, the U.S. government hanged 38 Dakota men after sham military trials, most lasting “only a minute or two,” Jones notes, in the largest mass execution in U.S. history </p><p>🔹As for Oklahoma, Jones writes poignantly of the Osage people, who suffered forced assimilation, violence at the hands of white mobs hungry for their land, and then, after oil was discovered, a “Reign of Terror” in which whites systematically swindled and murdered them.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/whitesupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whitesupremacy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EmmittiTill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmmittiTill</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/greenwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greenwood</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/doctrineofdiscovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doctrineofdiscovery</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ChoctawRemoval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChoctawRemoval</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Indigenousrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenousrights</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.texasobserver.org/the-origins-of-white-christian-supremacy/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">texasobserver.org/the-origins-</span><span class="invisible">of-white-christian-supremacy/</span></a></p>
