Heads in the Sand…
Members of the Grande Ronde and Warm Springs tribes are our last best chance to wakened to the awful truth of tar sands. So far middle America –environmentalists and all – has been slow to say No. And mainstream media has been for the most part comatose. Oil-factory modules moving up the Columbia River, across the states of Idaho and Montana, and into Canada's oil sands, where Imperial Oil, a subsidiary of Exxon-Mobil, will assemble the 207 massive components into in an $8 billion oil operation. Imperial is strip mining strip mine tarlike bitumen and converting it into petroleum through a complicated, energy-consumptive process. From Cascadia to Northern Alberta First Nations are talking a stand against the ‘Sand’. Kayla Godowa, Shayleen Macy and Delia Sanchez, three of the organizers behind the movement are the moving spirit behind Indigenous Peoples for Sustainable Lifestyles. The Native American ceremony on Sunday at Kelly Point was an act of protest against the Imperial megaloads and all they represent – scarring of the landscape, the threat of pollution, destruction of salmon-rich rivers and the loss of a way of life.
