Greetings Earthlings. Do any of you remember The Two Flags Enviro Show back in 2019? Back then we asked: "Have you ever noticed the Massachusetts state flag? Chances are if you happen to be Native American you are well aware of the colonial sword over the head of the indigenous man on the shield. David Detmold returns to the show to talk about Change The Mass Flag." Here we are seven years later and some progress, but not enough, has been made. With that in mind David returns again to the show along with Katherine Harrelson to talk about a cross-State Walk to Change the Flag & Seal. The Walk also aims to raise awareness in solidarity with Community Land and Water Coalition's ongoing campaign (of which we are longtime supporters) to halt sand mining operations in the fragile ecosystem of the sand barrens around Carver/Plymouth sacred to the Herring Pond Wampanoag.

Our Quote of the Week is from the late John Peters Slow Turtle of the Mashpee Wampanoags, spiritual leader and former Massachusetts Commissioner on Indian Affairs:

"Most of my involvement is with the Indian people and their purpose in life. I think the intentions of my people are entirely different from what mainstream society promotes. We're not here for private gain, but to find a solution to preserve the Earth Mother for all generations to come."

- John Peters Slow Turtle
