MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 12, 1928: The St. Francis Dam failed in Los Angeles, California, killing 431 people. It is the second deadliest disaster in California, after the 1906 earthquake, and one of the worst U.S. civil engineering disasters ever. A defective foundation and design flaws caused the failure. Yet, the inquest absolved chief engineer, William Mulholland, of all criminal responsibility, and he continued to earn a salary from the Bureau of Public Works (though his career was effectively ended). The authorities continued to find the remains of victims of the flood until the mid-1950s. Many of the victims were washed out to sea. Some washed ashore as far south as Mexico. Mulholland was also the designer of the 233-mile Los Angeles Aqueduct, which sucks water from the Owens Valley and is a major cause of the depletion of the fragile Mono Lake. As its water levels continues to decline, it threatens the world’s second largest gull rookery, home to up to 50,000 birds. The aqueduct’s construction, and the shady methods Mulholland used to acquire the water rights, led to the California Water Wars between L.A. County and Owens Valley farmers. Many of those same Anglo farmers (or their predecessors) usurped the land from Piute people during the 1863 Owens Valley Indian War, which was precipitated, in part, by the vast loss of human and cattle lives, and the displacements, caused by the Megaflood of 1861, which inundated much of the West, from Idaho and Oregon, down to northern Baja California. The corruption related to the construction of the aqueduct has been portrayed in the film Chinatown, and in the nonfiction book, “Cadillac Desert.”</p><p>For more on the Megaflood of 1861, please read my article, “Worse Than the Big One”: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2023/01/04/worse-than-the-big-one-californias-coming-megaflood-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">michaeldunnauthor.com/2023/01/</span><span class="invisible">04/worse-than-the-big-one-californias-coming-megaflood-2/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flood</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dam</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mulholland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mulholland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/monolake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monolake</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/owensvalley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>owensvalley</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disaster</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nativeamerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nativeamerican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/piute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>piute</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chinatown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chinatown</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indianwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indianwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/habitatdestruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>habitatdestruction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonfiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/losangeles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>losangeles</span></a> @bookstadon</p>

Shantell Powell<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chirp.social/@waterlooregion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>waterlooregion</span></a></span> I just got a response which uses the word "unique" a lot without actually clarifying if Six Nations has been consulted or not. I'm thinking not. </p><p>"Indigenous communities have a unique role in land use planning and development.&nbsp; They contribute unique perspectives and traditional knowledge to land use matters including cultural heritage, natural heritage and water resources protection.&nbsp; The City/ Township/ Region values the ongoing relationship with Indigenous communities. We look forward to continued collaboration with Indigenous communities on our Official Plan to continue to inform decision-making."<br>&nbsp;<br>"In consideration of the existing trees on the site, City Staff work with the applicant to conserve trees whenever possible, recognizing them as essential infrastructure within our community."</p><p>_____</p><p>Personally, I question what "collaboration" is going on. The Land Back camp, after a lot of harrowing life in Willow Park (Victoria Park), managed to negotiate free use of the park facilities. It is a traditional/historical meeting place for Indigenous Peoples in the region. Yet within the last month, the City of Kitchener has started charging Indigenous groups money to use it again. </p><p>That is not collaboration. That is colonialism. </p><p>I also mistrust what they say about the trees. Last year, in the middle of nesting season, those trees were trimmed and the branches--baby birds and all--were thrown into a woodchipper. When I sent complaints to the city, they promised to get back to me and rectify the situation (I don't know how since they can't resurrect baby birds or undo the damage). No one ever did get back to me. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandBack</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chirp.social/@waterlooregion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>waterlooregion</span></a></span> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ProtectTheTract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheTract</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Haudenosaunee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Haudenosaunee</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SixNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SixNations</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Anishinaabeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anishinaabeg</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DishWithOneSpoonTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DishWithOneSpoonTreaty</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HabitatDestruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HabitatDestruction</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AnimalAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnimalAbuse</span></a></p>
Shantell Powell<p>I pass this property on Guelph Street often. Until a few years ago, that shitty stretch of lawn used to be a big cluster of juniper, bearberry, and milkweed. It was necessary food and habitat for monarch butterflies and other critters. Now it is a food desert for pollinators. </p><p>And that sign they have along the sidewalk is the meanest, most selfish sign I've ever seen directed to pedestrians. It shows they really don't give a shit about children and pedestrians. </p><p>And that last sentence about "these lands" is pretty fucking awful. These lands are on the Haldimand Tract. They're occupied, stolen lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg. These lands are under the Dish With One Spoon wampum, and this sign shows the people who currently "own" this property have no intention of honouring that treaty. </p><p><a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/a-dish-with-one-spoon#:~:text=A%20%E2%80%9Cdish%20with%20one%20spoon,spirit%20of%20mutual%20co%2Doperation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/</span><span class="invisible">article/a-dish-with-one-spoon#:~:text=A%20%E2%80%9Cdish%20with%20one%20spoon,spirit%20of%20mutual%20co%2Doperation</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/kitchener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kitchener</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HabitatDestruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HabitatDestruction</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ProtectTheTract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheTract</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HaldimandTract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaldimandTract</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DishWithOneSpoonTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DishWithOneSpoonTreaty</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/wampum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wampum</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MonarchButterflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonarchButterflies</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AntiPedestrian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiPedestrian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CarCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarCulture</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Treaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Treaty</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chirp.social/@waterlooregion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>waterlooregion</span></a></span></p>

Shantell Powell<p>This beautiful stand of trees separating the neighbourhood from a gas plant has been bulldozed and thrown into a wood chipper. Now the animals who lived there are without homes.
