A recent article from The Nation, “A River of Deception,” sheds light on a pressing environmental and cultural conflict. For over a century, the City of Seattle has been at odds with the treaty rights of the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, stemming from the construction of dams along the Skagit River. These dams, operated by Seattle’s City Light (SCL), have not only disrupted the river’s ecology but also the tribe’s ancestral practices. The obstruction of fish migrations and the submergence of sacred sites have deeply affected the tribe’s way of life, infringing upon rights guaranteed since 1855. As SCL seeks a new 50-year license, the situation underscores the need for a balanced approach that honors both our environmental responsibilities and the sovereign rights of Native American Tribes. The ongoing confidential negotiations involve a diverse group of stakeholders, including federal and state agencies, First Nations of Canada, and conservation groups. This case is a poignant reminder of the complexities in managing our natural resources and the importance of upholding the rights of all communities. It is imperative that we continue to engage in dialogues that lead to sustainable and equitable solutions. https://lnkd.in/gv9Zvw87

Want to learn more about Divestment from an Indigenous Perspective? ?? Prior to colonization Indigenous people knew how to be in reciprocal relation to the natural world and care for the land. #Divestment from fossil fuels, including projects like the #TarSands, is a unique and effective tool to switch the control from these corporations to Indigenous communities and youth, allowing us to be not only stakeholders, but decision makers well within our own territories.
