SUMMARY:Honouring 20 Years of the Grassy Narrows Blockade
DESCRIPTION:In the dead of winter 2002, visionary Grassy Narrows youth bravely laid down in front of logging trucks and sparked what is now the longest running blockade in Canada.\nJoin us to honour 20 years of reclamation, alliance, ceremony, and freedom!\nClick Here to Register ( https://freegrassy.net/blockade/#Dec2Register )\nOn December 2nd at 12 p.m. Eastern Time, tune in online to join Grassy Narrows people as we feast in honour of the blockade. Countless Indigenous land defenders and supporters have visited and drawn inspiration from the blockade site over the last two decades. This is your invitation to visit the blockade virtually!\nREGISTER HERE ( https://freegrassy.net/blockade/#Dec2Register ) and we will send you details closer to the event.\n\nThrough 20 years of perseverance Grassy Narrows has succeeded in kicking out the world’s largest newsprint company, preventing all industrial logging on their 7,000 square kilometer homeland, saving over 15 million trees, and helping to build the movement for Indigenous sovereignty and land back.\nBut Ontario continues to grant thousands of mining claims on Grassy Narrows lands and is proposing to open up part of the territory to industrial logging.\nLEARN MORE:\n\n\nListen to Grassy Narrows grandmother Roberta Keesick on As it Happens in 2008 talking about kicking out the world’s largest newsprint company from Grassy Narrows territory. ( https://freegrassy.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/Audio-Roberta-Keesick-interviewed-on-As-It-Happens.mp3 )\nWatch this excerpt from the 2003 Thunder Bay Indymedia documentary about the blockade.
