EXCERPT: "“I'm grateful that we’re able to come together collectively and bring strong voice on this issue of saying no to nuclear waste that threatens our life, threatens our water, threatens the animals, threatens the earth, threatens our children and our very existence,” said Chief Solomon of Fort William as she welcomed the crowd.

For the people of Grassy Narrows First Nation—who have lived with the devastating legacy of mercury poisoning for more than fifty years—the idea of burying radioactive waste in their headwaters feels like history repeating itself.

“Nuclear waste poses a risk to our way of life, our children and those still to come,” stated Judy Da Silva, mother, grandmother and mercury sufferer from Grassy Narrows. “We have been poisoned once already; we will not be poisoned again. We are standing together to protect our lands, our waters, and our future — and we will not back down.”"
