The Mohawk Mothers appeared in court to attempt to halt the reconstruction of a former hospital by McGill University and Quebec’s infrastructure society (SQI). On September 11, excavation for the New Vic project, a refurbishment of the former Royal Victoria Hospital led by McGill and SQI, recommenced at McGill University.

We’re doing one investigation on one place, they’re trying to hurry to the next one, to the next one, t...

Continued from last issue We were in a tall, cavernous room at the United Nations, and this was the last day. Segwalise of the Haudenosaunee Delegation was about to speak. It had been a long week, a week of sleeping maybe three, maybe four hours a night, a week of transatlantic flights and hurried breakfasts and the ever-present need to say things right. A week of pressure and energy – constant energy. Because something had happened in this conference, something was helping. People were locking together and one after another they had t...

WASHINGTON D.C. – States and Native American tribes will now possess enhanced powers to halt energy projects, including natural gas pipelines, that might contaminate rivers and streams. This change comes as a result of a final rule announced on Thursday by the Biden administration. Effective from November, this rule counteracts a previous directive from the Trump era that restricted states’ and tribes’ capacity to evaluate pipelines, dams, and other federally overseen projects on their lands. According to the Environmental Protection Agenc...
For years, Maui’s Native Hawaiians have contended with the state over water rights, with the latter often prioritizing other interests. The recent fires that engulfed Maui further complicated the issue, with some government figures and developers pointing fingers at Native Hawaiians, suggesting that more liberal water flow could have mitigated the fires. On August 8, amid the fiery chaos, Governor Josh Green’s administration in Hawaii (D) enacted the first of six emergency proclamations. These directives temporarily bypassed parts of the state...
