At the Just Transition Alliance Press Conference during SB64 in Nairobi, Tom Goldtooth ED of the Indigenous Environmental Network and co-founder of the Just Transition Alliance, delivered a powerful statement on what a true Just Transition must look like for Indigenous Peoples worldwide.

Tom breaks down why Self-Determination, Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and the protection of Indigenous territories are not negotiable add-ons to climate policy, they are the foundation. He calls out the ongoing threats of colonialism, extractivism, and the commodification of nature, while pointing to the road ahead toward COP31 and the critical work of implementing the agreements already made under the Just Transition Work Programme.

On Saturday July 18th, the Red Water Pond Road Community will be hosting their annual commemoration of the spill to fight to heal our Diné and Mother Earth and restore the Hozho’. See you there!

On July 16, 1979, an earthen dam that held liquid uranium waste broke, releasing 1,000 tons of solid radioactive mill waste and more than 90 million gallons of acidic and radioactive liquids into the Rio Puerco. The contaminants flowed downstream through Gallup, NM and across nine Navajo chapters. Several days after the spill, United Nuclear Corporation sent a handful of people out with shovels and buckets in an attempt to remediate the mess. To this day there has been no reclamation, no study to see how far the contamination went and its impacts on local water systems and people’s health. United Nuclear Corporation has not been held accountable for the spill. This was the largest radioactive accident in US history.

For Lakota people, our stories have "...institutionalized The čhaŋnúŋpa as our primary tool for connection to creation and creator..." Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island rely on Pipestone for their own spiritual practices. The Magellan pipeline from ONEOK not only threatens our sacred quarries, but our very relationship to Creator. The project is taking public comments NOW, make sure your concerns are heard!
