Loretta Williams, from the Tsilhqotâin Nation, speaks about their campaign to protect Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) from the proposed Prosperity Mine.
Taseko Mines Ltd. is proposing the use of Teztan Biny as a tailings impoundment area, a practice that since 2002 has been supported by controversial changes to the Fisheries Act under Schedule 2.
In 2006, two lakes in Newfoundland were approved for destruction and many other lakes in BC, and across the country, are threatened by this loop hole provided by the federal government for the mining industry.
The Tsilhqotâin Nation have filed a writ in B.C. Supreme Court claiming their Aboriginal right to fish. The claim, if successful, will prevent Taseko Mines Ltd. from developing its proposed Prosperity Project, 125 km southwest of Williams Lake.
This speech was made as part of the Green College Speakers Series at the University of British Columbia.

Radical Archaeological Theory Symposium October 17 2009
Oct. 19, 2009, 3:37 p.m.
The theme of the conference was "Building an Anarchist Archaeology"
"The label âradical archaeologistâ carries both theoretical and practical implications. As people who wear the label proudly, we share a commitment to engage with ideas that are often considered anti-establishment, marginal, or confrontational. Moreover, we embrace a political commitment to act against entrenched systems of oppression, such as racism, sexism and discrimination; and on a larger scale all forms of colonialism and imperialism."
The Symposium featured speakers from across North America, discussing a wide range of topics within the "radical Archaeological" framework. Here are the list of speakers that were recorded along with the title of their papers:
-Edward González-Tennant: "Anarchy, Ethics, and Pedagogy in Enganged Arcaeology"
-Bill Angelbeck: "Society Against the Chiefdom: An Anarchist Analysis of Warfare and Defensive Sites in the Coast Salish, Northwest Coast"
-John Roby: "Eve of Destruction: Thoughts on an Arcaeology Against Civilization"
-James Birmingham: "Potsherds and Possibilities: Archaeology and Anarchism"
-Tom NomAd: "Clastres and Insurrectionary Action"
-Paulette Steeves: "Anarchist by Default: Red Anthropologists in a White Academia"
-Niels R. Rinehart: "Teaching Africans About African History"
-Joe Bonni: "Welcome Home: Modern Pilgrimage and Ritual Place-Making at Burning Man"
There was a closing panel discussion which included Randall H. McGuire and Maria Theresia Starzmann. There were also a few Question and Answer sections that I have shortened into one file.

Enlightenment on Columbus Day October 10 2009
Oct. 19, 2009, 9:56 a.m.
This is a forum sponsored by the Native American Student Association of SUNY Binghamton (N.A.S.A.)
"There are only two federal holidays in America named after a historical figure, Martin Luther King Day and Columbus Day. Martin Luther King was a civil rights activist whose dedication to the human rights of minorities in America changed history and the lives of minorities in America forever. Christopher Columbus was an early explorer of claimed Italian descent who brutalized, tortured, murdered, raped, sold into slavery and decimated indigenous populations of the Americas. One has to wonder why America would honor the atrocities against indigenous people with a holiday to honor the perpetrator of these acts. Why does the American government continue to honor, with a national holiday, a man with a legacy of genocide, who never set foot in the United States of American and whose own homeland, Italy, has no day to celebrate him. This paper explores the recorded history of the beginning of the American holocaust, the acts of Christopher Columbus, and the United States Government herofication of the perpetrators of genocide and the American Holocaust."
The forum featured four speakers, who each discussed different ideas related to the colonization of the Americas. The speakers are:
-Robert Spiegelman, York College, City University of New York
"Climate Changers: From Columbus-Hudson through Sullivan-Clinton to Lyons-Hansen." A Multimedia Light on Mother Earth, Then and Now
-John R. Sosa (Maya) Associate Professor of Anthropology: SUNY Cortland

This was held October 10th 2009 at the Downtown Center of Binghamton University
