*Defenders of the Land:
Voices from the frontlines of struggle for land, freedom and
self-determination on Turtle Island
(No One Is Illegal Radio -- December 2008)*

Between November 12-14, 2008, the historic "Defenders of the Land" gathering
took place in Winnipeg. The gathering brought together dozens of grassroots
activists, elders, youth, women and men from Indigenous communities across
"Canada" who are in active struggle to defend their land and assert
self-determination. A new grassroots Indigenous network was created from the
gathering, entitled the "Turtle Island Defenders of the Earth" (TIDE).
On this special edition of No One Is Illegal Radio (December 2008), we hear
from participants at the Defenders of the Land gathering. The following
interviews were taken in Winnipeg during the gathering; collectively, the
voices provide a frontline perspective on diverse and linked struggles for
land, freedom and self-determination on Turtle Island, as well as
reflections on the Defenders of the Land gathering itself.
