People of Akwesasne Speak Out About Industrial Chemical Poisoning and Disease

This was far and away the most exciting meeting that I have ever
attended in all of my years of environmental protection work.  Things
are very different now.  The people have come to a point where they
are no longer willing to accept the abuses of the corporate/government
culture.  The people of Akwesasne are strong and good.  They spoke
about the relationship that exists between First Nations people and
the Earth.  They spoke about the environmental genocide that is taking
place on the Akwesasne Reserve.  They demanded full clean-up of the
industrial contaminants that were released by ALCOA into the Grasse
River and the Massena Power Canal.

Everyone on Earth should listen to what the people of Akwesasne said
to ALCOA and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the
evening of November 15, 2012.  These were words of love of the Earth,
courage, honor and determination.  Once people have heard these words,
they should contact the Onkwehonwe of Akwesasne and endeavor to assist
with the great work of bringing  an end to the environmental genocide.
