For Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re lifting up Honor the Earth’s movement to keep hyperscale data centers off of Indigenous lands, a continuation of their ancestors’ struggle for land sovereignty.
Their Data Center Tracker helps them provide more accurate news, information, and resources to their communities. Repost from @honortheearth: “🚨📢 INDIAN COUNTRY WE NEED YOUR HELP! As hyper scale Data Centers expand at alarming rates, we need your help tracking all their locations where they are targeting Native lands 🚫 We have created a hyper scale Data Center Tracker for Indian Country , to insure [sic] we are all informed. If you do not see the Data Center in your community that is either being built or proposed, please visit our website and fill out our doc so that we can add it. honorearth.org/datacentertracker ‼️Either on or within a 30 mile radius of a Reservation‼️ We keep us safe! Together we can protect Mother Earth and each other 🌱♥️ #WaterIsLife #YouCantDrinkData #IndigenousSovereignty” [Image 1: Graphic with images of the input survey for hyperscale data centers and the data center tracker, which features a map of the U.S., that says, “Help us track hyperscale data centers either on or within a 30 mile radius of a reservation. Fill out this form if you are tracking a data center in your community. Our team will then add this information to our tracker!” Image 2: Graphic with an image of the tracker that says, “No hyperscale data centers on Native land!! Visit honorearth.org/datacentertracker. Help us track the attacks on our Land and Water.”]See it on Instagram ↗
