'Common Sense - People Power'
(Photo taken when so many people
turned up at Bentley
Artist Statement:
You can't eat coal,
You can't drink gas.
Growing up with the Cree Indian Prophecy:
"When all the trees have been cut down,
When all the animals have been hunted,
When all the waters are polluted,
When all the air is unsafe to breathe,
Only then will you discover
that you can't eat money."
CSG Mining threatens nature
and its inhabitants - us.
It threatens our water, our way of life.
This is not the way for us to go.
Take your rainbow warriors
and let
your government know that this is not good.
