Notes: Red Dawn and Eric are members of the Six Nations community, both intimately involved with the reclamation in many ways.

For more information please check out the excellent resource page that has been set up by the folks at Autonomy and Solidarity, that has links, interviews, articles, and pictures, at auto_sol.tao.ca.

In this powerful interview, Red Dawn and Eric talk about their community's determination to never leave the land, the radicalization of indigenous youth, the international mobilization of support for the reclamation, and the inspiration that is spreading from this determined action to fuel people everywhere.

If you can, please consider going to the reclamation to lend support, whether you can offer supplies like water, food, gas, or money, or just to be there with them. Not only do they deeply appreciate it, it will likely be a profoundly transformative experience for you.
