Welcome to AzaadiNOW. On July 19, 2020 Haudenosaunee land defenders reclaimed a part of their territory at Six Nations and ever since, have stayed there protecting the land. We speak with land defenders Myka and Dex to understand what’s happening at 1492 Land Back Lane. Interview recorded Aug. 20, 2020.

Here is what we talk about in this video: why this land is important to them; how they perceive the ‘purchase’ of this land by the housing developer from the from the Canadian government imposed ‘Indian Act Elected Band Council’; what the Six Nations community’s relationship with the Elected Band Council is; what the land defenders think of Canada’s ‘reconciliation’ efforts, the injunctions that have been imposed, and recent violent invasion by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), the Statement of Support from Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council. They also describe how allies can be of support, and share a message to Indigenous people protecting their land globally.
