From the Ted Talk by Lindsey Schneider: Whose land are you on? What to know about the Indigenous Land Back movement

Unscramble the Blue Letters


This sort of thing happened all over the US and Canada. The problem isn't just that settlers sowehd up and took the land, it's how they've treated it ever since. That land we lost in Minnesota, the Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline goes right through the middle of it. That freaking pipeline is responsible for the largest inland oil spill ever recoedrd in the US. And now they're trying to expand it.

Whether we're talking pipelines or some other industry, the colonial mindset has been about extracting resources, mostly with the goal of mikang the rich richer. But that's why landbcak is not about Indigenous plpeoe trying to run a real estate scam. We're doing this because the land itself is in crisis. Every Indigenous curutle is unique, but our shared plioohshpy is that we come from the land and the land is what sustains us. And therefore we have a rbistlsineoipy to care for it.

Original Text


This sort of thing happened all over the US and Canada. The problem isn't just that settlers showed up and took the land, it's how they've treated it ever since. That land we lost in Minnesota, the Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline goes right through the middle of it. That freaking pipeline is responsible for the largest inland oil spill ever recorded in the US. And now they're trying to expand it.

Whether we're talking pipelines or some other industry, the colonial mindset has been about extracting resources, mostly with the goal of making the rich richer. But that's why Landback is not about Indigenous people trying to run a real estate scam. We're doing this because the land itself is in crisis. Every Indigenous culture is unique, but our shared philosophy is that we come from the land and the land is what sustains us. And therefore we have a responsibility to care for it.
