WHEREAS we are on unceded Algonquin, Anishinabek territory; and

WHEREAS in May of 2017, the Anishinabek Nation and the Iroquois Caucus issued a Joint Declaration that stated their opposition to the abandonment of radioactive waste on their territory as they have an “intimate relationship to the land [and] waters” and believe that they “need to protect the lands, waters and all living things for future generations”; and

WHEREAS these planned waste facilities are likely to be increasingly subject to large-scale flooding and are located in an active earthquake zone; and
