ONONDAGA WISDOM - ENVIRONMENTAL LAW & JUSTICE
We have a special program for you today, both with a great guest and an extended show together with the "Living for the City" program with Michael G. Haskins!
When people pay attention to environmental wisdom, local air and water get cleaner. On this episode of Eco-Logic we'll talk to Joe Heath, General Counsel for the Onondaga Nation since 1982, about Indigenous environmentalism and the Onondaga's recent success to regain some of their stolen land. Hear about the difference between land rights and land ownership.
The Onondaga Nation has reclaimed 1,000 acres of its land. Now it seeks restoration from the years of pollution. This is a mere fraction of the 2.5 million acres guaranteed to the Onondagas in treaties with the US government. This title transfer, though, represents a critical milestone in the Nation’s ongoing battle to regain its ancestral lands.
You'll hear how this historic land transfer comes amid a growing awareness in the United States of “historical trauma” and talks of reparations.
“The only meaningful form of reparations for traditional indigenous people is land,” Heath said.
For our news section this week we bring you attempts to communicate with whales in their language and a ban on bottom ocean trawling.
Our music for you today is by Jerry Thundercloud McDonald. He is Mohawk and plays music, such as "The Round Dance," at Powwows.
And …
Join us on Wednesday, Nov 6, 2024 at 10am EDT. It's the day after the election, remember to vote!
Listen live anywhere in the world.
Stay tuned,
Ken Gale, Donna Stein & Sally Gellert
When the air or water are clean, thank an environmentalist. If not, become one. 'Nuff Said!
