Shantell Powell<p>I was chosen for a consultation meeting today on housing/affordable housing. The organization who did it is trying to gauge public opinions on the topic. </p><p>I talked about how a local community garden which fed a lot of low-income people was bulldozed and an equipment yard put up in its stead. I talked about how a stand of old-growth trees were wood-chipped and now the animals that lived there are homeless. </p><p>I talked about how the land I live on is part of the Haldimand Tract and all development requests should be going through Six Nations because it is their land, but how that is obviously not happening and that treaties are regularly broken. I talked about how Haudenosaunee, Mohawk, and Anishinaabeg have been criminalized for defending their land at 1492 Land Back Lane, and even shot at by cops for doing so, and paired that with what happened during the Oka Crisis/Kanehsatà:ke Resistance. </p><p>I talked about how unhoused queer and trans youth moved into the Land Back Camp here because they had no other place to go. </p><p>I think I almost made the interviewer cry, which is not my intention. </p><p>I suspect I am the only person they have interviewed who is involved with <a href="https://c.im/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandBack</span></a>.
