Quote:
"As an Indigenous person, you are where you come from. Without our land, we're nothing. That's where our language and cultural identity come from. Without it, what are we? So essentially that place is our mother. And if you think about it, drilling into the earth, fracturing soil beds, injecting horrible chemical cocktails into the earth, is very violent and gruesome."
-- Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers
