Radicalizing Relationships To and Through Shared Geographies: Why Anarchists Need to Understand Indigenous Connections to Land and Place
Adam J. Barker and Jenny Pickerill
Indigenous activists and anarchist Settler people are articulating common ground in opposition to imperialism and colonialism. However, many anarchists have faced difficulties in Indigenous solidarity work through unintentional (often unwitting) transgressions and appropriations. Through the introduction of settler colonialism as a complicating power dynamic, we observe that anarchists bring unconscious spatial perceptions into their solidarity work. Further, Indigenous activists often perceive anarchists as Settler people first and foremost, which carries another set of spatial implications. We examine a number of examples of anarchist and Indigenous activism, at times empowering and at times conflictual, in order to reveal some general trends. Through an intensive synthesis of Indigenous peoples’ theories and articulations of place- based relationships, we suggest that deeper understandings of these relationships can be of great importance in approaching solidarity work in place and with respect.
Keywords: anarchism, indigeneity, relationships, place, settler colonialism

As Long as Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock by Dina Gilio-Whitaker (2019). I find that Gilio-Whitaker is a great researcher and her writing lends strong voice to “why EJ - Diversity - Decolonization?” I call your attention especially to “Chapter One, Environmental Justice Theory and Its Limitations for Indigenous Peoples.” This chapter contains quintessential history of EJ, governmental deference to and legal issues in EJ. From Gilio-Whitaker’s references in this chapter, SEE

The transition of the global energy system away from fossil fuels is already happening, and the proportion of clean power in the energy mix is only projected to increase. Changing the nation’s energy sources is key to mitigating climate change, but, in the process, one must ensure that all groups and communities are able to benefit from the transition. The Environmental Justice for All Act (H.R.5986), introduced into the House Committee on Natural Resources on February 27, seeks to assist transitioning workers and communities, in addition to pursuing several other environmental justice goals.

A U.S. tribe’s uphill battle against climate change. Valerie Volcovici. Reuters ENVIRONMENT. APRIL 13, 2020. TAHOLAH, Washington (Reuters) - For several years, Fawn Sharp has seen her tribe on the coastline of Washington state lurch from crisis to crisis: rising sea levels have flooded the Quinault Indian Nation’s main village, and its staple sockeye salmon in nearby rivers have all but disappeared – a direct hit to the tribe’s finances and culture.

Citizens' Climate Lobby - The Bipartisan Climate Solution H.R. 763
For over a decade, our volunteers have asked their Members of Congress to work together to solve climate change. A viable climate change solution needs to be big and lasting — which means bipartisan legislation. We fully support the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. This policy will drive down America’s carbon pollution while unleashing American technology innovation and ingenuity.
https://citizensclimatelobby.org/energy-innovation-and-carbon-dividend-act/
"The most lasting climate action would be bi-partisan because it wouldn't change with politics (whether D's or R's hold congress).
The ask: "Make climate change a bridge issue rather than a wedge issue." "this nation needs lawmakers who will put aside partisan politics in order to find solutions to shared problems."

Dear Senator/Representative,
This in reference to HOUSE BILL NO. HB29, Designation of migration corridors.
I agree with sec. 23‑1‑1102. Identification of migration corridors. (a): “The department [Wyoming Game and Fish Department] shall submit identified migration corridors based on scientific data and information for potential designation as a migration corridor under this article.”
I disagree with provision 23‑1‑1102 (b) “the department shall forward any identified migration corridors and their boundaries to the board of county commissioners of every county where the identified migration corridor is located.”
I support the compromise on statewide policy of Gov. Mark Gordon’s 2019 convened advisory group, comprised of conservation, oil and gas, sportsmen, agriculture, mining, recreation, Game and Fish, and county government interests. Stakeholders agreed on a compromise and a statewide policy that will allow development to proceed, but create a process that will ensure development occurs in appropriate areas. I support the coming an executive order (similar to the sage grouse order) to be issued by Gov. Gordon. It’s probable that Gov. Gordon’s executive order will be based on the advisory group’s findings and agreements.
I posit that the legislature need not put anything into statute that sets aside input from the stakeholders of the Governor’s advisory group. HB0029 derails the collaborative, practical solution based development of that policy on a model that we know works from decades of collaborative work and state-led management on sage-grouse. HB 29 would undo a Wyoming-made solution and undermine all of the hard work and good thinking that has been put into creating a policy that actually works for our wildlife, communities, and economy. Gov. Gordon’s final executive order will be issued any day.
There’s no reason that the legislature needs to put anything into statute about migration corridors before Governor Gordon’s executive order.
There’s no reason that the legislature needs to put anything into statute Laws are hard to change once passed, and rushing into a statutory change before the executive order is released and implemented is unwise policymaking. It is quite possible that HB29 benefits only oil & gas interests.
Sincerely,
Stacey McReynolds
