By Doug George-Kanentiio. On October 27 CBC’s investigative show “The Fifth Estate” exposed the performer Buffy Ste. Marie as an imposter. Her 60-year career as an indigenous singer was contrary to the actual truth of her birth. Ms. Ste. Marie was born Beverly Santamaria to non-Native parents in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She is not Cree, not Native and not Canadian. The responses to this was initially disbelief followed by statements of either condemnation or support. I read many comments and sought to express my sympathy to the singer while...

Continued from last week. The Obvious Fact of Our Continuing Existence Legal History of the Haudenosaunee Since the beginning of human time, the Haudenosaunee have occupied the distinct territories that we call our homelands.

By Erin Fitzgerald, Earthjustice. SEATTLE, WA — Thursday, November 2, the 8th Circuit vacated the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) rule that revoked all food allowable for chlorpyrifos, which effectively banned the use and presence of the neurotoxic pesticide on the foods we eat. The final rule, issued in August 2021, came in response to the 9th Circuit ruling issued in a challenge filed by Earthjustice, on behalf of public health, labor, and disability organizations. That ruling required the EPA to revoke chlorpyrifos tolerances bec...
The Penobscot Nation, in a groundbreaking collaboration with the Trust for Public Land (TPL), is on the cusp of reclaiming a vast expanse of land in Maine’s scenic Katahdin region—a monumental step towards rectifying historical injustices.

This move is not only a win for environmental conservation but a profound ste...

Yeah, I can still reach into the bottomless depth of my tarnished soul and find that feeling despite my advanced age and natural progression into the same ole, same ole adulthood. That was a sharp negative, considering we’re just starting this week’s edition, but what I say has relevance here. In my mind, anyway. My meaning behind that opening salvo is to try and jolt all of us...
