Still Time to Submit Photos for Got Land? Video

Looking for a great Earth Day activity? If you haven't yet submitted a photo for the You Got Land? video, there is still time. This is a chance to bring some attention to a place you love, a place that is threatened, or has already found itself chopped up for corporate greed. Favorite hiking trail, proposed damn or mine site, sacrilegious real-estate development, government building or monument... get creative! Photos can be submitted to thendnkar@gmail.com 

Oh, and tune in here at the NDN Kar tomorrow for a very special Earth Day surprise from the man at the wheel, Mr. Keith Secola himself!


 Here are some great some gorgeous pics sent in by Jessica Foster and Marsha Winters of the Kootenay Columbia. Jessica writes: Sinixt Land and Kootenay Columbia River. You see Teck in the background. 

The Sinixt people on the north side of the border were once deemed extinct by our government. Until the local people could prove their DNA when a sacred burial ground was being dug up for a roadway. 

The Kootenay Columbia has been dammed up in several places devastating the Sinixt people along the river in particular the Coleville tribe.



Want to get involved? Here's how:

  1.   Make a poster with the words 
        “Got Land? Thank an NDN” on it.

  2.   Take a picture of yourself holding it:
a.       at a rally
b.      your favourite place in nature
c.       an ecological war zone (i.e. tar sands, Mount Polley,
         dam sites, etc)
d.      steps of a government building
e.      any place that speaks to you  on Turtle Island

  3.   email it to us at  thendnkar@gmail.com

  4.   Please only send photos that belong to you and
        you have permission to use.

  5.   We ask for no profanity, as we would like to make
         this video in a good way for the children and elders too.

  6.   Feel free to substitute “Thank an Inuk” for all of you far
          Northerners out there. Settler allies are welcome to 
          participate, also.

We will do our best to include every submission we receive, but cannot guarantee usage of all images submitted. Inclusion will be based on creativity and how big the statement you make is.

Here's some of the latest submissions, sent in from Sherri Rinkel-MacKay from Bragg Creek in Southern Alberta, Canada, taken on her vacation. Picturesque, quirky, and thought provoking.
