If anyone deserves a Noble prize👆🏻 ・・・ “🌿This is fifteen-year-old Autumn Peltier. You may know her already. She is the Chief Water Commissioner of the Anishinabek Nation in Ontario. Peltier assumed her role as a clean water advocate at age eight, and by thirteen addressed the UN General Assembly. 🌿Peltier sees herself as "protector" rather than a "protestor." This distinction is an important one. Some might assume protestors are out to make trouble. But protectors are determined to prevent others from creating more severe and long-lasting problems. It seems we can all get on board with that. 🌿As we learned from the Standing Rock protests, the first peoples of this land offered a powerful model for collective resistance. But they did more than that. Their way of life models a way forward. If we slow down to listen, the first nations of this continent can show us how to live in harmony with the earth again. 🌿” - @julie.flynn.badal ❤️❤️❤️ #waterprotectors #autumnpeltier #supportwaterprotectors #istandwithwaterprotectors #landback #indigenousresistance #indigenousland #returnstolenland #nopipelines #anishinabek #chiefwatercommissioner #uncharter #undrip (at One Off Oddities) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVcRjjJhVT/?igshid=1ezkvg4gywprg
