Joseph, I can’t believe it’s finally happening. Tomorrow, the Supreme Court of Canada will rule on whether Inuit were properly consulted about an oil exploration project that threatens their Arctic home. This ruling will be the culmination of more than three years of legal action for the Inuit community of Clyde River, Nunavut. With the Supreme Court ruling due to be released tomorrow, I wanted to send a special note of thanks to all Greenpeace supporters for everything you’ve done to support Clyde River over the past three years. 440,000+ of you have signed the petition to the federal government demanding that it stands up for Indigenous rights and stops seismic blasting. More than 4,170 of you donated a total of over $123,000 toward the extensive legal costs for Clyde River’s Supreme Court case and to help solarize the community. Hundreds of you gathered outside the Supreme Court in Ottawa in one of the biggest demonstrations the court has ever seen. And many of you from around the world have shared photos of solidarity with the community – as well as sending food packages and messages of solidarity. And that’s just some of what you’ve done! The support you’ve shown for this tiny community that decided to stand up for their rights and for our shared planet has been truly inspiring.  The ruling for the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation – who are contesting the approval of the Line 9 tar sands pipeline in their territory – will be announced at the same time as the ruling for Clyde River. Tomorrow, the court could decide to stand on the right side of history and support Indigenous communities demanding their right to protect their home.  Or it could side with companies and governments that want to exploit the lands and waters that Indigenous Peoples have stewarded for millennia.  Whatever the outcome, I know that both communities can count on all of us for our continued support. With special thanks, Farrah Arctic Campaigner, Greenpeace Canada
