Chuck Miller - Running The Country

Three days ago I posted a blog featuring Dr. Vandana Shiva and her 5 minute video explaining why we March Against Monsanto. Since then, 1,800 people have Liked it. If you’re not one of them, WATCH IT NOW! You need to know why we March Against Monsanto! You need to know who controls the world’s food supply! You need to know how to stand up to Monsanto. You need to attend the March Against Monsanto wherever you live!

Chuck Miller will officiate at Sitka’s March Against Monsanto. He will be dressed in his Tlingit regalia. We have the support of the Alaska Native Sisterhood. Sharon McIndoo and the Haa Toowu Litseen Drum group will drum for us. Dancers representing several dance groups will dance.

When I speak, I will compare the original Western expansion and Land Grab to the modern day world-wide Seed Grab. Several other people will address Monsanto related issues. There will be an Open Mike. Everyone is invited to speak. Everyone will have a voice. Everyone will be heard.

We will make history tomorrow. More importantly, we will reclaim our children’s future. Our generation will do what we should have done 20 years ago. We will sleep no longer.

We will say No to Monsanto!

We will say Yes to Life, to the Earth, to the environment, to our health, to our seed sovereignty, and our seed freedom!

We will join every march around the world in spirit, while we stand together on Castle Hill to March Against Monsanto!

See you at the March!!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March Against Monsanto
Sitka, Alaska
May 17, 2013

On May 25, 2013, tens of thousands of people from around the world will gather in more than 300 cities in protest of the agrochemical giant, Monsanto.

Sitka’s March Against Monsanto will be held on Castle Hill, the location where Russia sold the vast territory of Alaska—land it did not own—to the U.S.A.

March organizer, Brett Wilcox, chose Castle Hill for Sitka’s March Against Monsanto for its symbolic significance. “There are many similarities between the original ‘Land Grab’ that took place with the first European expansion and Monsanto’s current global ‘Seed Grab,’ Wilcox states. “Both involve the privatization of Nature, a concept that was largely foreign to Native Americans and Alaska Natives. And both have resulted in loss of freedom and loss of life. The difference is that Monsanto’s seed grab not only further disenfranchises Native Americans; it disenfranchises all nations and all people. The citizens of the world are, as it were, sitting in our canoes in Sitka Sound, watching powerful people and corporations claim and repackage life as their own, thereby stealing our seed sovereignty and seed freedom.”

Chuck Miller, a Tlingit “Elder in Training”, will preside at the event. “My grandmother used to teach my family that we need to treat our food with respect or it will not provide for us,” Miller states. “My ancestors’ teachings are still a very big part of my life and I want to be able to pass that on to my children, grandchildren and those yet to come. GMOs are not the way to treat Mother Earth and the generations yet to come. I urge all the Native people of Alaska and our non-Native brothers and sisters to come and support this cause.”

“Sitka’s March Against Monsanto will not be a traditional march,” says Wilcox. “Sitka’s event will be a ceremony to honor nature as well as the indigenous people of Alaska and the Americas. We will stand on Castle Hill united with the people of the world in defense and protection of life and nature.”

Sitka’s March Against Monsanto will take place at 2:00 pm on Castle Hill in Sitka, Alaska.
