CRIMES AGAINST NATURE ✜ the rites of spring - 13 April 2012


✜ CRIMES AGAINST NATURE ✜

crimes against nature means getting feverish on Friday the 13th
spring up onto the dancefloor for the frisky season
it means not taking the pastel colours lying down

ϡ
ϡ

it means slamming a live birth into the season of solar return
into the season of the procreative pair-bonding
of messianic reanimation (lambchop's gayalong)
getting yr egg cracking, rosebud bursting, Easter-basket case asses into it
suckling Ms. Gaia's left one
breaking out the unbridled jiggly-jiggly body-knowledge that we are natural mammals
both lambs and chops
hedonists all
birds and bees!

ϡ

This is a spring run-off dance-off, dance-rite done right, right into the muddy ground.

✜ fundraiser for Barriere Lake Legal Defense Fund.

The Mitchikanibikok Inik are an Algonquin Anishinabe community in active struggle for land and liberty. Their un-ceded territory, still very much their lifeline, has been invaded by mining and forestry companies. A wildlife park was established over their territory, bringing scores of tourists into their land and waters. Hydro Quebec generates electricity from their rivers, the damming of which even forced the community to be relocated, but refuses to connect them to the public grid.

Through all of this, their traditional government has remained strong in its resolve to fight, to protect the land and their rights to it. Last year, the Canadian government began negotiating with a small faction who wanted to sell rights to corporate interests. Help us support this community on the front lines of the struggle for First Nations' rights, the struggle against corporate destruction of the environment - real crimes against nature!

✜ levée de fonds de la Collecte pour la défense légale de Lac Barrière.

Les Mitchikanibikok Inik (Algonquins de Lac Barrière) sont une communauté en lutte active pour la terre et la liberté. Leur territoire non-cédé, duquel ils dépendent toujours énormément, a été envahi par des entreprises minières et forestières. Un parc faunique a été établi sur leur territoire, ce qui amène des touristes à leurs terres et leurs eaux. Hydro Québec y produit de l'électricité, mais refuse de leur donner accès au courant, même suite à ce qu'ils soient évacués par des inondations suite à la construction de barrages.

Au cours de tout ce débâcle, le gouvernement traditionnel poursuit la revendication du droit à la gestion territoriale. L'année passé, le gouvernement canadien commence à négocier avec une petite faction dans la communauté qui veut vendre les droits d'extraction de ressources à des entreprises. Affirmons la solidarité avec cette communauté en lutte quotidienne pour les droits des Premières Nations, la lutte contre la destruction de l'environnement - des vrais crimes contre la nature!

✜Accessibility:
The organizers deeply regret that the Playhouse is at the top of a flight of stairs.

✜Misfortune:
The organizers are aware that Fridays the 13 are traditionally considered days of grave misfortune. Be careful!
