To reduce Nunavut’s dependency on diesel fuel, researchers are trying to use the territory’s gusty weather to develop a wind turbine specifically to generate power for Arctic buildings. “I think it is a really viable [energy] option,” said Jill Hass, an engineer and clean energy manager with Polar Knowledge Canada, the...
The Isanti nation (colonizer name Santee Sioux) along the border of so-called Nebraska and South Dakota has been depending on bottled water for five years. The groundwater is contaminated with manganese - which means boiling it only makes it worse. More bad news: grant funds for pallets of water for their 1,000+ relatives has run out, so the tribe is now bleeding funds - AND their supplier has been coming up both late and short on their deliveries. And it's 45 minutes to the nearest hyvee or walmart.
While the tribe fights to get funding for a pipeline to connect to clean water in south dakota, supporters have launched an emergency water drive. Collection is at the Indian Center in Lincoln, NE at 1100 Miitary Rd. Monetary donations are requested via venmo @IndianCenter or @ThreeCrows, or via paypal @BlueHeronTiospaye - label donations as "water". #indigenous#water#mutualAid

Back the #yeahNahPasaran , #anarchistWorldThisWeek and many more diverse, indigenous, queer, marginalised teams to keep all these important Australian voices on the air.
I just discovered that my home is right near the site of the ancient Native American ‘capitol’ of the Chemakum people named Tsetsibus, meaning ‘place where the sun rises.’
I took advantage of the sunny weather to walk through the pathless forest above the shore that once hosted hundreds of people. The protected cove now hosts an oyster farm and a few other modern developments.
The Chemakum inhabited this spot for ~12,000 years, but no visible traces remain.

This is something to look forward to: a new book from the brilliant Tyson #Yunkaporta. His first one, #SandTalk, was a great read, don't miss it! Among the enduring visions was 'cooking up wombat' in the derelict ruins of the Canberra Parliament building in some not-too-distant future as we discover which civilization is the more resilient.
Also a very funny critique of Stonehenge, and the Weird West, right on the button!
Klamath dam removal aims to return salmon to waters they could not reach for decades
“Without dams on the Klamath, salmon will have access to nearly 650 kilometres of river and tributaries fed by glaciers on Mount Shasta.” #indigenous#yurok#hoopa

When students from Linfield University in McMinnville, Oregon, cleared invasive Himalayan blackberry from a meadow on campus, a bank of camas seeds sprouted. "The university found itself with a thriving patch of Indigenous first foods," says @Toastie. For High Country News, they write about how this discovery birthed a festival, the Linfield Camas Festival. The one-day event is devoted to the wildflower, its place in Indigenous cuisine, culture and ecosystems, and educating others about food sovereignty and more.
