@TheMattyBlake the hands of Portugal aquifers are salamander hands. The hind paws have the five toes.

I am Acadian of Henri Membertou’s line. I am of the line that knew salamanders meant a water supply safe to drink. The knowledge was kept hidden because it was worth money to know that. The secret is at Renne le Chateau too not far from my family’s area of Avranches.

To know you could build in an area without a visible river was like a secret knowledge. You could buy such lands and make money building a village or city. The salamander the indicator species of primary recharge. I spent decades protecting them to protect Moraines in Ontario.

The font of Renne Le Chateau showed me how to protect groundwater by protecting salamanders. It says par ce signe tu le vaincras. That motto goes back to Constantine: in hoc signo vinces. The salamander was my sign. I stopped many projects risking water supplies with that animal.

The animals are more valuable left in place because wells needs primary recharge areas to refill to maintain water in perpetuity. They have provided protections for groundwater where water policies are lacking.

If you destroy the habitat of salamanders you are destroying water flow, water quality, water volumes and disrupting flow rates. It must be maintained to protect fisheries, wells, headwaters and rivers, communities and the economics dependent on that water supply.

Be sure to look up the salamanders of Francois I. Four toes front paw, five on back foot. It is a sacred animal to my people in North America and in Europe.

In my community of Waterloo, if water is priced at a penny/litre and it doesn’t count the cost for it’s use and the benefits of it. We need to protect it in perpetuity to survive.

Less than 30% of Ontario's wetlands remain in Southern Ontario. Only 10% remain in the Greater Toronto area. Ontario has to improve this or risk major water crisis in the future. ontarionature.org/campaigns/wetl…

Indigenous people are the best stewards to protecting significant proportions of threatened and endangered species globally, according to this research. sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/…

Southern Ontario has only 25% tree coverage with only 12.1% in areas of Southwestern Ontario yet Six Nations has the largest Carolinian forest left in Canada with 50% tree coverage on their territory. Ontario First Nations have excelled at protecting their biodiversity & forests.

Treasure can be a very subjective term. For some it means money. For others it is technology. Both are valuable. For some it is information, for others it is based on deeper things like secrets. We were a bank for the world in land where no place existed to existed to spend it.

Wealth means nothing to a people who didn’t value it. We earned our nationhood with Henri Membertou on a test of trust we would not steal. We passed that test. To this day I still do my advocacy work pro bono. No money.

This was the test. The Vatican Concordat of 1610 followed.

After 400 years we were supposed to have land back. That deadline was in 2010. The Calvinist De Monts said Acadia has no western boundry. Being Indigenous my Acadian family honoured the Indigenous boundries that predated him.

My people were of Henri Membertou and the line that sealed the deal with Tomasso Di Savoie’s line. (Portugal). We were the first Métis in North America. The middle chiefs lines. We were called Métis long before Canada or US ever existed.

My family were subject to genocides, scalpings, small pox and deportations. They never rescinded the scalping proclamation even to this day. We feared for our lives after deportation.

In Canada’s secret archives they hold so many records that if the reports were stacked, it would be taller than the CN Tower. One has to go to Portugal or Jersey to get the history. cbc.ca/news/canada/go…

In Jersey La Hougue Bie is the passage illuminated during equinox. Same as Aztec, same as Egyptians. Visit the webpage the video is under the logo “Green Tourism Gold”. 6000 years old. From the days of Rollo and Normandy. jerseyheritage.org/explore/find-a…

My kin of the line of Rollo. Our North America history with Europe goes a long long way back.

Solicitor Warren Perrin got the apology from Queen Elizabeth for the deportation of the Acadians yet he still risks arrest if he visits Nova Scotia. Canada is not a nation. I have a lawful nation by law. I want Canada to get over it and put this racism behind them.

We need Canada to couch their laws with the actual nationhoods here today. We need to harmonize tax laws and disclosure of beneficiaries to stop funding crime. We need equity for all.

Today we unite to support Black Lives. We unite to support Indigenous Rights. We unite to support Climate Action and we unite to support a Just Recovery. The future is ours to create. Let us renew by building upon shared values. Don't fear Land Back. We are #InThisTogether.
