Public lecture, Plundering & Pollution : Niobium mining in Oka
Apr 14th, 2011 by admin
Organized by: Regroupement de solidarité avec les Autochtones
La compagnie Niocan veut exploiter une mine de niobium à Oka, près du terrain exploité précédemment par la St-Lawrence Colombium. Le niobium est un minerai rare, de plus en plus recherché, qui entre dans la fabrication de nombreux produits de pointe et de haute technologie. Son extraction exige de grandes quantités d’eau, met en danger la nappe phréatique essentielle à l’agriculture et entraîne des rejets radioactifs. Continue Reading »

We, the Youth of the Haudenosaunee, on this 20th anniversary of Oka, declare our right to voice our concerns within our Nations, to be heard as equal counterparts, and to make an impact. We owe it to ourselves to continue on the path the Creator has laid before us. Just as they did at Oka, our ancestors sacrificed their lives for us – they survived the government’s assimilation tactics. They believed that we, the next seven generations, are worth fighting for. This blood runs through our veins too. The issues that surfaced 20 years ago across our Haudenosaunee territories are the same we face now and are not easily solved, but our strength will persevere. History shows us this. Continue Reading »
