Americans are once again demanding higher standards for the food they eat, insisting that companies stop using chemicals known to harm health.

The solar panel supply chain follows the same mining sites, rail roads, factory facilities, and prison institutions that otherwise were core sites of liberation struggles in the 20th century. Low carbon infrastructures exist within the exact same system as high emission energy sources.

A decade ago, I heard someone ask Suzan Shown Harjo, the Cheyenne and Arapaho writer and Indian policy advocate, “What’s the most important event in Native American history?”
