Rebelling is not like a cool thing you do
and then you go to college and then get a fucking job and then be a fucking
capitalist for the rest of your life.

-Queen Sacheen

It’s a colonial lie that we cannot support
each other in a diversity of tactics.

My Dad always told me, life is not about
you, it’s not about me, it’s about the future.

-Queen Sacheen

When I say that leadership sells us out
they are literally signing deals with companies like Cermaq to stand against
their own people.  I am afraid that there
are not enough people who can take the time or effort to fight.  Industry and complicit leadership use tactics to bully people and silence them.

I never think of the land as a separate
being from myself.  It’s part of who I
am. My ancestors bled for the land,
their bones are in the land, their ashes are in the land and in the water.

-Queen Sacheen

When war is happening every day to our people, when
war is happening every day to our fucking psyches and our minds, through social
media, and resource extraction, through neo-colonialism, through our elected
leaders signing papers with corporations these are acts of war.  So everyday when I am praying in the morning
and praying when I go to bed I am praying to be strong enough to fight that
war.
