Defending Sacred Sites and energy autonomy in North America

Corrina Gould is a Chochenyo/Karkin Ohlone woman who has dedicated her life to protecting her peoples' sacred sites, even though hundreds of them now lie below the pavements of San Francisco. She led a successful 100+ day blockade camp to stop a foreshore development on a sacred burial site and shellmound called Sorgorea Te. A new documentary, "Beyond Recognition" demonstrates Corrina's call to keep and build culture even when one's ancestral lands have been developed 'beyond recognition'.

Lynn Jacobs is a proud Mohawk woman spearheading a project to build a windfarm to power her community and build economic autonomy. She told us about the challenges and great potential of the project from her home in Kahnawake, a Mohawk community near Montreal, Canada.

Music: "Sorgorea Te Warriors", recorded at the blockade camp, and "Grandmother Moon" by John Trudell
