CKUT 20/10/2021 - Ellen Gabriel on Kanehsata:ke land rights today

Free City Radio

Listen to an interview with longtime Indigenous land rights activist Ellen Gabriel who speaks about the situation facing land rights in Kanehsata:ke today. Ellen highlights a recent investigation, that is live here https://www.reconciliaction.org, and is described this way, "G&R is a construction waste material dump on the Kanehsata:ke Land Reserve. As confirmed in FOI material and multiple media reports copied below, G&R has breached numerous permit conditions and continues to leak dangerous materials into the surrounding environment. In spite of this, both federal and provincial governments have not taken action to remedy the situation and remove threats to people and wildlife. Faced with this situation, ReconciliAction collaborated with local activists on investigating and campaigning for cleanup of G&R."
