Summary

She:kon sewa’kwe:kon! Greetings everyone! Reclaim Turtle Island needs your help!

I’m Amanda, a young Haudenosaunee woman fighting against tar sands expansion in my territories, in particular the Line 9 and Energy East pipelines. In early October, with the help of subMedia, we launched reclaimturtleisland.com, and released the short film, Kahsatstenhsera: Indigenous Resistance to Tar Sands Pipelines, which focuses on our resistance in northeastern Turtle Island.

Reclaim Turtle Island is a grassroots radical media project that works to develop resources to build capacity for Indigenous sovereigntist and anticolonial struggles in Turtle Island. So, later in October our primary focus was delivering support for the Mi’kmaq Warrior Society who were toe to toeagainst the state and a fracking company as they stood up for their land, waters and peoples. Some of this work included getting the word out about Warriors’ treatment in jail, including supporting a Mi’kmaq Warriors fight against solitary confinement and having the honour to share the call to #ShutDownCanada. In 2014 the resistance continues, and we would like to continue supporting the active decolonization of so-called North America by elevating the voices of frontline land defenders and building support for grassroots Indigenous resistance to colonial-capitalism.

For this we needyou. This crowd-funding initiative is to ensure that RTI has the equipment necessary to produce high-quality video, from shooting interviews to post-production editing, and our work will always be available for free online. In early 2014, we want to bring you stories of resiliance and inspiration from the Dine who are protecting sacred sites and fighting against the mining of uranium. We want to connect with the Ponca who are fiercely resisting tar sands pipelines and unearth some of the histories of colonization in the southwest. We want to bring a land defender from the heart of the tar sands to Lakota territory where they are resisting tar sands infrastructure across their Nation. We want to support the Innu resistance againstPlan Nordand continue to nurture the roots of Indigenous liberation in northeastern Turtle Island.Our focus is Indigenous resistance for Indigenous people and Reclaim is more than a media project.Reclaim Turtle Island also directly engages in struggle against resource extraction as well as builds a network of land defenders across our territories. We are bringing eachother together with stories of resistance: to learn, to share and to better fight back. Please support this initiative and encourage support from your friends. #2014WarriorUp

My radical/badass/amazing friend, Amanda, is currently working on an independent grassroots indigenous media project but needs your help to make this project happen! Please donate if you can or reblog and spread widely. You can also like their facebook page here.

Reblogging to signal boost this amazing project again! Please keep spreading the word :)

Signal Boosting again because it’s a really great project and they still need to raise 2/3s of their funding with only 10 days left! Support indigenous media! Please reblog and/or donate to help Reclaim Turtle Island.
