Crystal Lameman from Beaver Lake Cree First Nation and Eriel Deranger of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation come from a place where ecological devastation is occurring on an astonishing scale. They are ambassadors from the front lines of the indigenous fossil fuel resistance. But theres another part of their story, one that provides critical context for the indigenous movement thats growing at resource extraction sites around the world. Its the story of a cultural revolution thats quietly transforming indigenous life and politics—a movement of decolonization and reclamation of language, land, and traditions. The tar sands fight is rooted in this reclamation, and therein lies its strength. -- Kristin Moe
