“This River is Our Relative” — a new #Penobscot documentary, coming soon!

Sunlight Media Collective February 2, 2024

"'This River is Our Relative' is an upcoming Sunlight Media Collective documentary about the #PenobscotNation’s intrinsic connection to and tireless environmental stewardship of the #PenobscotRiver. The story is told through the voices of 24 Penobscots, who share a story of historical, physical, and spiritual connection to place; of cultural identity and survival. Their narratives are interwoven with a traditional #Wabanaki story about how The People and #Glouskap defeated a greedy monster frog, #Aklebemu, who was hoarding all the water. This story parallels both historical and present day #environmental concerns, and is also the Clan origin story for Penobscots. 'You can point to any aspect of our culture from a riverine perspective,' says Penobscot Cultural Dept. Director James E. Francis, Sr.

"'It is our responsibility to care for that River, for all of us,' explains Penobscot #activist and filmmaker #DawnNeptuneAdams. Despite many obstacles including ongoing territorial theft and a rapidly increasing number of pollutants, the Penobscot Nation and its people continue to demonstrate their commitment to protecting the health of their beloved Relative, the Penobscot River. 'I always come back to the water because that’s where I belong. It’s my Relative,' explains Penobscot Elder Kathy Paul, 'and I want to stay and support that Relative.'"

Tonight: sometimes it's music sometimes it's art. Allison Miller's River in Our Veins at Roulette tonight was definitely the latter. Killer band, dancers, synchronized visuals... But mostly awesome music running the stylistic gamut.

WAKE UP WESTCHESTER: For Pete’s Sake, Don’t Let Indian Point Dump 1 Million Gallons of Nuclear Waste Into the Hudson

by Dan Murphy, February 23, 2023

One of the options #Holtec could pursue is: "Hold the wastewater on site. Although no definite holding time was discussed at the meeting, storage on site was. We believe an initial 12 year period would be appropriate. After 12 years, tritium’s half-life (the radioactive isotope) will have cut its activity by 50%. During this 12-year period we would like Holtec to explore separation of the tritium, solidification, and any other options that emerge."
