info_outlineUranium Mining in Northern Saskatchewan―What You Need To Know:
Part 1, Indigenous Resistance to Uranium Mining
Originally broadcast as a live-to-air online webinar, this four-part series was shortened to audio for your listening pleasure. We want to help you learn more about uranium mining in Northern Saskatchewan, why it is happening, and what the future looks like for Indigenous Peoples resisting uranium mining and nuclear waste in their traditional territories.
Beverly Andrews hosts this episode's guests, including Leona Morgan and Candyce Paul. Between our guests, you will gain decades of combined knowledge of uranium and nuclear Indigenous resistance warriors on the frontline of water, land and traditional knowledge protection. You can watch the original broadcast on Facebook and YouTube. Please note the YouTube video is lower quality due to connectivity issues during the live broadcast.
We will specifically address the impact of uranium mining on indigenous communities, shedding light on a crucial aspect of this issue. While many people have been busy in survival mode and exhausted from the pandemic, wars around the world, and extreme inflation, uranium mining lobbyists and governments have been taking advantage, passing industry-favourable laws that will further degrade and threaten freshwater systems already desperately overburdened by farming and mining use and wastewater byproducts.
Nuclear energy is not clean energy that will save us from the climate crisis. This false solution is being sold to citizens by the same industries that are the source of the climate problem. Nuclear power, including SMRs, is not a climate solution because it is filthy to mine, physically dangerous, too expensive and very slow.
The rise of nuclear energy as a solution to the climate crisis is a looming threat to clean, fresh water for the entire planet. Current extraction practices and policies have brought us to this global crisis, and colonial practices are not how we save ourselves from ourselves. Natural law shows us that we are not separate from our environment, and the time to pay attention to that teaching is now.
