Origins - Festival of First Nations
Homeland – Four Portraits of Native Action - (16 May – Birkbeck, University of London 4.15pm)
One of the most important but least known human rights stories in America today is the destruction of Native
American lands and its impact on Native peoples.
Nearly all indigenous nations in the U.S. sit on land threatened by environmental hazards—toxic waste,
strip mining, oil drilling and nuclear contamination. The realities are often bleak—children play near
radioactive waste, rivers that tribes depend on for food are
poisoned, and reservations are surrounded by strip mines and smoke stacks spewing noxious fumes.
Homeland: Four Portraits of Native Action takes a hard look at these realities.
It follows the efforts of activists who are fighting back in four Native American communities.
