Compliments of Indian Country Today Media Network
"SOVEREIGNTY SUMMER"
IDLE NO MORE calls on all people to join in a revolution which honors and fulfills Indigenous sovereignty which protects the land and water. Colonization continues through attacks to Indigenous rights and damage to the land and water. We must repair these violations, live the spirit and intent of the treaty relationship, work towards justice in action, and protect Mother Earth.
GET EDUCATED. This affects us all as human beings. It’s our future.
SHARE the photos and PSAs therefore spreading the word and educating others.
DO YOUR PART in protecting mother Earth.
SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY. Everyone involved in this campaign volenteered their time and talent. Take time to support their efforts…find us all on social media…let them know you think it’s important too. It’s a far greater cause than any one person but we stand stronger together. Indiginous and not, this is a human issue. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. I know this post is not really about photography but before photographers we are human beings and we think it’s important to stand together, be positive, and always work toward the greater good.
