IMPORTANT CONFERENCE JUNE 15-19 IN WISCONSIN
The Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) is holding its fifth
annual Protecting Mother Earth Conference June 15-19 near Mole
Lake, Wisconsin. The conference is being hosted by the Mole Lake
Sokaogon Chippewa community in conjunction with the Midwest
Treaty Network of Madison, Wisconsin. IEN is a U.S.-, Alaskan-,
and Canadian-based grass-roots organization. The theme of this
year’s conference is “Environmental Genocide.” Some 1500 native
and non-native people and groups will come together at Mole Lake
to discuss issues and develop strategies to stop environmental
injustices within and near indigenous lands, such as
deforestation, toxic and nuclear waste dumping, radiation
exposures, and contamination of air, land, and water.
Non-indigenous people of good will are welcome at the gathering.
For further information, contact conference coordinator Emily
Iron Cloud Koenan at (715) 682-4554; fax: (715) 682-9112.
