Canadian Tar Sands and Indigenous Resistance

Join the Climate Justice team from Climate Reality Bay Area as they welcome Michelle Robinson (Sahtu Dene), host of the Native Calgarian Podcast and Book Club and former geomatic drafter for an oil and gas company, who will discuss crucial topics for settler climate activists such as:

How does Canadian fossil fuel extraction connect to the United States and the rest of the world, and what can settler climate activists do to support Indigenous resistance?

Why do some Indigenous people participate in fossil fuel extraction, and how can settlers help expand their career options?

How do extractive projects both result from and cause the ongoing crisis of MMI2SWGR (Missing and Murdered Indigenous 2 Spirits, Women, Girls, and Relatives)?

Does transitioning to renewable energy involve settler colonizer pitfalls (eco-colonialism), and if yes, how can settlers avoid them?

Organized by S. Louie and moderated by Alma Soongi Beck, Co-Chairs of the Climate Justice Team.

The Climate Justice Team invites you to donate to Michelle at her site, Native Calgarian, and/or Keepers of the Water, an Indigenous-led organization recommended by Michelle that is doing good environmental work in Alberta.
