<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"After more than 10 years of organizing we have finally defeated an

oil giant, Keystone XL is dead!" declared the<b> Indigenous Environmental

Network (IEN) i</b>n reaction. "We are dancing in our hearts because of this

victory! From Dene territories in Northern Alberta to Indigenous lands

along the Gulf of Mexico, we stood hand-in-hand to protect the next

seven generations of life, the water and our communities from this dirty

tar sands pipeline. And that struggle is vindicated."</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">IEN said

that the win over TC Energy and its supporters was "not the end—but

merely the beginning of further victories," and also reminded the world

that there are "still frontline Indigenous water protectors like Oscar

High Elk who face charges for standing against the Keystone XL

pipeline."</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Calling the news "yet another huge moment in an

historic effort," Turnbull at OCI said that while the Canadian company's

press statement failed to admit it, "this project is finally being

abandoned thanks to more than a decade of resistance from Indigenous

communities, landowners, farmers, ranchers, and climate activists along

its route and around the world."</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Jared Margolis, a senior attorney

at the <b>Center for Biological Diversity, declared the victory in the

drawn-out battle—which largely took place under the Democratic

administration of former President Barack Obama—"a landmark moment in

the fight against the climate crisis."</b></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"We need to keep moving

away from dirty, dangerous pipelines that lock us into an unsustainable

future," added Margolis, who said he now hopes President Joe Biden will

take this lesson and apply to other polluting fossil projects. "We're

hopeful that the Biden administration will continue to shift this

country in the right direction by opposing fossil fuel projects that

threaten our climate, our waters and imperiled wildlife," he said. "Good

riddance to Keystone XL!"</font></p>

<p><b><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Jamie Henn and Bill McKibben, both co-founders of 350.org and key

architects of the decision to make the Keystone XL pipeline a target and

symbol of the global climate movement, also heralded the news.</font></b></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"When this fight began, people thought Big Oil couldn't be beat." —Bill McKibben, 350.org co-founder</font></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"When

this fight began, people thought Big Oil couldn't be beat," said

McKibben, who was among those arrested outside the White House in 2011

protesting the pipeline.</font></span></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"Keystone XL is now the most famous

fossil fuel project killed by the climate movement, but it won't be the

last," said Henn. "The same coalition that stopped this pipeline is now

battling <b>Line 3 </b>and dozens of other fossil fuel projects across the

country. Biden did the right thing on KXL, now it's time to go a step

further and say no to all new fossil fuel projects everywhere."</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Clayton

Thomas Muller, another longtime KXL opponent and currently a senior

campaigns specialist at 350.org in Canada, said: "This victory is thanks

to <b>Indigenous land defenders who fought the Keystone XL pipeline for

over a decade. Indigenous-led resistance is critical </b>in the fight

against the climate crisis and we need to follow the lead of Indigenous

peoples, particularly Indigenous women, who are leading this fight

across the continent and around the world. With Keystone XL cancelled,

it's time to turn our attention to the Indigenous-led resistance to the

Line 3 and the Trans Mountain tar sands pipelines."</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McKibben also

made the direct connection to KXL and the decision now looming before

Biden when it comes to Line 3 in northern Minnesota. "When enough people

rise up we're stronger even than the richest fossil fuel companies," he

said. "And by the way, the same climate test that ruled out Keystone

should do the same for Line 3."</font></p><div class="around-the-web"><div class="from-your-site__headline"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">From Your Site Articles</font></div>

His mother is Norma Bell Lee, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and daughter of Melvin Lee (Dzi l t l'ahnii Clan) and Virginia Peslakai (Dibe'lizhini' Clan). His birth name is Bruce Kendall Goldtooth. His mother was the first Navajo and possibly the first Native American woman nationwide to obtain an undergraduate degree in microbiology, becoming a professional laboratory scientist (medical technologist).

His step-father is Dennis Wesley Goldtooth, a member of the Navajo Nation from the Coal Mine Mesa/Tuba City area of Arizona, and one of many sons of Frank Goldtooth Sr., a renowned medicine man, known as Bȅȅsh Biwoǫ (Iron-Metal [Gold] Tooth).

Later, he was reunited with his mother after her graduation and marriage to Dennis W. Goldtooth, a former U.S. Marine. His parents moved back to the Navajo Nation. His stepfather became a Navajo Nation policeman stationed in&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuba_City,_Arizona" title="Tuba City, Arizona" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Tuba City, Arizona</a>, and later in the northwestern remote area of the reservation called Navajo Springs, near&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Canyon,_Arizona" title="Marble Canyon, Arizona" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Marble Canyon, Arizona</a>, and located in the area known as the Vermilion Cliffs-Colorado Plateau area located along the Colorado River.</font></font></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Tom often stayed with his paternal grandmother, Margaret Goldtooth in Tuba City, with many visits with his grandfather Bȅȅsh Biwoǫ. His mother was a medical technologist working in Page, Arizona, a rural boom town of the 1960s that brought workers from throughout the country for the construction of United States second largest dam, called Glen Canyon dam. Page later became a tourist center of water recreation from the damming of the Colorado River and creation of Lake Powell. Tom attended high school at Page. His parents later moved from Navajo Springs to Page.</font></font></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">During these years, Tom became active in the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of_America" title="Boy Scouts of America" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Boy Scouts of America</a>&nbsp;and earned his Life Scout award. Tom was a candidate for the Eagle Scout award, almost completing the requirements, but moved away from Page to Winslow when his mother relocated. In recognition of his youth leadership he was initiated into the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Arrow" title="Order of the Arrow" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Order of the Arrow</a>. Tom later received the Vigil Honor, as the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members. The early scouting experience along with following the Goldtooth family tradition as cattle and horse ranchers along with the Navajo Hunter Way culture and Diné ceremonies, became the building blocks for Toms leadership in years to come. Through family hunting trips to the Mt. Trumbull wilderness area of the Arizona Strip north of the Grand Canyon and hikes and camp outs in the remote areas of northwestern Arizona, Tom became an outdoor enthusiast and learned to respect and protect the environment.</font></font></font></p><h2 style="background: none; font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(162, 169, 177);" linux="Linux" libertine="Libertine" georgia="Georgia" times="Times" serif="serif" line-height="line-height"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span class="mw-headline" id="Career">Career</span><span class="mw-editsection" style="user-select: none; margin-left: 1em; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1em; white-space: nowrap; unicode-bidi: isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-right: 0.25em;">[</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tom_B.K._Goldtooth&action=edit&section=2&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro" title="Edit section: Career" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="margin-left: 0.25em;">]</span></span></font></font></font></h2><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Goldtooth was enrolled as a student at&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_State_University" title="Arizona State University" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Arizona State University</a>&nbsp;in 1971.<sup id="cite_ref-I_For_Color_1-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_B.K._Goldtooth#cite_note-I_For_Color-1" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[1]</a></sup>&nbsp;with goals towards earning a degree in Industrial Design within the Department of Engineering. He left school enlisting into the U.S. Army in 1973 becoming a Finance and Accounting Specialist within the Army's payroll division. Tom was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington later becoming active in the Army's Human Relations program, with a goal of undoing racism. Tom became a leader organizing Native soldiers to build solidarity in the post-Vietnam era. Tom was honorable discharged in 1976 and already became active in the Puget Sound Native communities in sports, pow-wows and social activities. Tom earned his Associates of Arts (AA) degree from Tacoma Community College (TCC) in Human Services. He was also a Peer Counselor at TCC helping Native students pursue their higher education goals. As a young man, he volunteered as a board member of the Tacoma Indian Center. It was during this time of his life he made a decision to pursue a social work degree that would help him to work with the social welfare needs of Native American families. After obtaining his AA degree from TCC, he enrolled into the Social Work (Welfare) Program of Pacific Lutheran University, but did not finish his degree upon a decision to move to the Navajo Nation (NN). He was hired as Fort Defiance Regional Bi-State Social Services Director of the NN. His experience in the Puget Sound region of Washington State in American Indian Child Welfare Act hearings and learning from Northwest Coast Native women in the needs for the protection of children and families, Tom provided leadership in strengthening casework in domestic and sexual abuse cases on the Navajo reservation. Following working on the Navajo reservation, Tom moved with his family to the Lower Sioux Community in southwest Minnesota in 1981. He later became the Executive Director of the St. Paul American Indian Center, commuting back and forth from rural Minnesota to St. Paul. Under his leadership he developed the American Indian Family Services program including an Indian foster care program. It was Wilford Gurneau, Red Lake Anishinaabe, that is credited with helping Tom develop Minnesota States' first all-Indian urban foster care program. It was at the St. Paul American Indian Center that Tom developed the Back to Mother Earth Program that would provide opportunity for Native children and parents to re-learn indigenous agricultural ways with urban gardening and taking families into the country to learn cultural ways of building lodges, skinning game animals and tanning and sweat lodge ceremonies. In the mid-80's Tom later formed a residential/commercial small-scale demolition business that recycled deconstruction materials. In 1991 Tom became the Coordinator of the Red Lake Nation environmental program focusing on closing three open landfill dumps. It was during this time that Tom discovered the serious issues with Tribes not having the capacity for implementing needed environmental protection programs on Native lands. In 1991, Tom was selected by Native people attending the First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit held on October 24–27, 1991, in Washington DC as the Native spokesperson in the Summit's plenary sessions. This launched Tom's leadership role for years to come in environmental and economic justice within Native lands.
