 We're at the Healing Walk for the tar sands out near Fort McMurray, just on the outskirts of Anzac, Alberta. And we're here to walk across the perimeter of the damage that's been done to Mother Earth with the tar sands. I would like to see a halt to the destruction of our Mother Earth and to all the destruction of resources of water. I really believe that on a personal level I'm taking care of my children, my grandchildren and those to walk behind me, those who are yet to be born. And it is my responsibility to step up as a cook-oam, as a grandmother, to say enough is enough. Stop now. The change that I've seen is the devastation of what someone termed as the rape of the land, where there's not much trees, the contamination of the water source. People cannot drink the water that they used to be able to drink openly. As a child we could take a dip or scoop it into the water and drink it. Today you can't do that. You're seeing the devastation, you're seeing the trees, dead trees, you're seeing the dead land, you're seeing, you're not hearing the birds, you're not hearing the birds. We used to be able to live very well. But when we come walking and we see the devastation, we experience it first hand, it touches the soul and impacts the soul in a much different way and speaks to the spirit. The oil and gas industry, because of greed, because of money, because of what they term as economic growth, well who is really benefiting from the economic growth? Because there needs to be something for the next generations to come. That upholds our inherent rights, that upholds our indigenous laws, that upholds our tribal laws, that upholds us as a people and having a voice in what goes on, not just with our economic bases but with this earth, with our land, with our water. It's not about money, this is not about money and you can't eat money. Your body needs food, water, it cannot use money for nourishment. When you kill our land, you kill us, I hope they see and understand. This is so wrong and it needs to stop, it just needs to stop. With the greed, raping the land, tearing through, taking things, not even asking permission, who does that to someone's home? Who walks into someone's home and takes something without permission? That's called being a thief. We're dying, we're dying race if people don't stop what they're doing. Our lives are dependent on this, this, Mother Earth, that, the water, that's our food sources and it hurts, it hurts because it's my people and it's important that people understand. We're not going away, we're here to stay and we're going to look after the next seven generations and doing so, hi hi.
