Somewhere On The Trail Of Tears 27.01.14 From The Passenger The Chief made me cry yesterday. At least his words did. We were talking on the phone and he told me that some of his people – The Athabasca Chipewyans, the people of the willow – are afraid. Worried about the looming battle with Big Oil, corrupt government and the morally bankrupt forces of capital extremism. Many of the people, it seems, would rather things just stay the way they are. Status quo. The Chief understands. He is a very wise man. He told me this – please understand the word home here means the homeland – the one we’ve never seen. The one the earth-movers took away: “We have been away from home for so long that many of my people have forgotten how beautiful it was.” Take heart. Stand your ground. Hold on to one another. We are with you. Together we are a powerful force. We will not falter. Honour The Treaties. Onward The Passenger
