Strength. Art by Krista Flute, from the #LandBackTarot & Oracle of Colonization.

Read more about the Strength Card and Amanda Polchies  in the links below.  I believe in diversity of tactics and don’t buy into the “peaceful / violent” argument.  Elsipogtog embiodied this.  Amanda’s role, took great inner strength and I honour that.

Months ago I was commissioned to create this image for a short film. There’s a famous image of a woman kneeling with her feather with RCMP lined up in front of her. I recreated the scene from a side profile.

In 2013, Texas-based SWN Resources arrived in New Brunswick, Canada to explore for natural gas. Water Warriors highlights a rare success story of ordinary citizens — including members of the Mi’kmaq Elsipogtog First Nation, in New Brunswick, Canada — who fight to protect their water from the oil and natural gas industry. They set up a series of road blockades, preventing exploration. After months of resistance, their efforts not only halted drilling; they elected a new government and won an indefinite moratorium on fracking in the province

Playing this excellent event Thursday in Solidarity with Mi'kmaq Warrior Suzanne Patles! "Please help our sister Suzanne Patles, Mi’kmaq Warrior and Lnu Mother <3 Suzanne is facing wrongful discriminatory eviction by her landlord and is forced to move her family immediately or face further harassment and abuse. If settler colonialism wasn’t bad enough, can you imagine being evicted on your own reservation? Originally from Eskasoni First Nation, Suzanne has been active on the frontlines of land defense combating environmental violence as part of the anti-fracking movement in so-called New Brunswick, in her beautiful Uni’maki Mi’kmaq homelands supporting her neighbouring community of #Elsipogtog fight off Texas based fracking company SWN. The Mi’kmaq anti-fracking movement in 2013 deeply inspired and revitalized Indigenous resistance on so-called North Amerikkka with the power of their community unified against the police state whose interests has always been to protect the colonizers and their corporate gain!! We have all learned so much from this struggle and continue to see the power of diversity of tactics long after the Mi’kmaq people have kicked SWN out of their territory!!" - http://reclaimturtleisland.com/2017/04/04/support-grassroots-land-defender-mikmaq-warrior-suzanne-patles/ (at Bar Le Ritz PDB)
