Thanks to Donald Wright, President of the Canadian Historical Association, for explaining why Pierre Poilievre and others are wrong when they claim changes to commemoration "erases" or "deletes" history - and why these misrepresentations are so dangerous: ottawacitizen.com/opinion/wright…

‘Grandpa’s Drum’ was one of our first #MollyofDenali stories. We knew we needed to share the painful history of Boarding Schools from our perspective. Please use it as a resource this #OrangeShirtDay & everyday. Mahsi’choo! pbs.org/parents/thrive…

Drilling for oil in the Arctic Refuge is a violation of Indigenous rights. For generations, the Gwich’in have stewarded the coastal plain, which they call “The Sacred Place Where Life Begins.” It’s time to put Indigenous rights first & #StandWithTheGwichin.

"One reason why Gulf is committed to developing other fuel sources, such as tar sands and oil shale, is to maintain a steady supply of petrochemicals for plastics." From The New Yorker, Nov 1981 #PlasticsTreaty #envhist

From madebyhistory: What the debate about the Arctic Refuge tells us about science denialism time.com/6332304/arctic…

A case study in misinformation: "Throughout the long debate over the #ArcticRefuge, drilling proponents have ignored or sometimes altered data, weaponizing science to support their push for fossil fuel development...." #protectthearctic #climatechange time.com/6332304/arctic…

Throughout the long debate over the Arctic Refuge, drilling proponents have ignored & even altered data, weaponizing science to support further fossil fuel development. While important steps have been taken to protect the Refuge, it’s still not safe. dfnd.us/42LeDwg

"We urge Bank of America to consider the rights, wellbeing and free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous Peoples in all projects it finances and to avoid projects that harm Indigenous Peoples or violate our rights." Gwich’in Steering Committee on new BOA policy: ourarcticrefuge.org/gwichin-steeri…

Bank of America vowed not to finance Arctic drilling projects, but a policy change could threaten a sacred place we have been culturally and spiritually connected to for thousands of years. We urge the bank to stand by its promise to #protectthearctic ourarcticrefuge.org/gwichin-steeri…
