Holding Our Ground: Resisting Colonialism
and Environmental Destruction
Sunday, April 3 at 12 noon ET
Colonization exists to exploit land and natural resources for the profit of the colonizers. The history, culture and needs of the indigenous people are not relevant considerations to the colonizers. Palestinians and indigenous American people have both faced determined campaigns to separate them from their lands and despoil their resources. This Zoom panel will explore the ways these two colonized peoples have fought back to preserve their natural resources from invading settlers, soldiers, pipelines, and corporations.
Panelists:
-Mazin Qumsiyeh, Director of the Palestine Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability, professor at Bethlehem and Birzeit Universities, and author of several books including “Popular Resistance in Palestine: A History of Hope and Empowerment.”
-Sleydo’ (Molly Wickham), spokesperson for the Gidimt’en checkpoint on Wet’suwet’en lands and resident of the Cas Yikh (grizzly house), an Indigenous reoccupation site in British Columbia since 2014.
