For the first time in several years, we are pleased to be able to invite everyone again to join us near Neligh, on Ponca Nation land and the Tanderup Family farm -- for the ninth-annual planting of sacred Ponca corn, where the now-defeated Keystone XL pipeline would have crossed the historic Ponca Trail of Tears.
Arrive by noon to join the communal picnic lunch, or by 1pm to ride the tractor out to the field for prayers and to hand-plant the Ponca corn as medicine for the Earth, and "seeds of resistance" to protect the land and water.
This year, the Cowboy Indian Alliance and the Nebraska Easement Action Team are also inviting impacted landowners on the new proposed carbon pipeline routes -- which would pass through some of the same counties (and properties, even) as Keystone XL -- to join our annual tradition.
We encourage folks to then join us down the road in Norfolk on Sunday, May 1 for a Brunch and Panel Discussion: "Landowner Experiences with Eminent Domain & Pipelines."
The panel will feature a number of landowners who successfully fought eminent domain for the Keystone XL pipeline -- as well as landowners facing current carbon pipelines -- sharing their experiences dealing with pipeline land agents and eminent domain, and joining together to form a landowners' legal co-op.
