Lecture: Native Rights and the Struggle Against the Tar Sands

When: Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 7 pm

Where: Silver Maple Ballroom in the Davis Center, UVM Campus

This lecture will focus on how the Canadian Tar Sands Project threatens the land and lives of communities across the continent. It has also inspired a campaign that unites movements for indigenous rights, the environment, and economic justice. This campaign has the potential to protect the people and the environment and resist big oil and corporate power.
