The Ramapos have long been home to the Ramapough Lenape Nation, an Algonquian-speaking tribe of the Lenni-Lenape. During the American Revolution, and following, the Ramapos also became home to former Hessian mercenaries and British soldiers, Dutch immigrants, Africans who were formerly enslaved by NY's Dutch community, and migrant members of other Native American tribes.

As greater amounts of it were discovered in the mountains, more and more Ramapo Mountain people became mining and iron-working families. By the forties, hundreds of mines existed in the Ramapo area. Through the following decades, the Southern edge of the Ramapos became a cultural hub for well-known writers and artists such as William Carlos Williams, Alan Ginsberg, Robert Smithson, and Bruce Springsteen.

However, decades later it was discovered that Ford had been illegally dumping tons of toxic paint sludge in nearby swamps and caves, which had seeped into the groundwater supply. Minor reparations have been made, but decades later, legal deliberations between Ford and the Ramapough Lenape continue. By the end of the 21st century, the Ramapo Mountains had become increasingly industrialized, and as waves of new immigrant communities populated the region, even more ethnically diverse.

It would be nearly two years before Minisink's case would be heard at the federal level, but in the Fall of 2012, through FERC's 'tolling orders,' Minisink residents were prevented from going to court while the pipeline company was allowed to proceed cutting trees and beginning construction.

Minisink residents had initiated the first organized (mostly) silent protests at FERC monthly meetings in Washington, D.C. in early 2012. In April of 2013, Canalos and several others organized the first multi-state, multi-group protest at FERC headquarters. Canalos designed t-shirts emblazoned with a stamp for the event, signifying FERC's track record of rubber-stamping projects in favor of the industry. 'Docket No.' stamps allowed for each group to write in fabric marker the FERC code for the project they were impacted by, and actively fighting- and in the process, reclaim agency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564e196ce4b0573c9084e710/1447985022973-8P1PW6OEC564L10N0B0T/12347_640184632665346_1288545345_n.jpg NY Activism + Activist Art 'We the People Matter Day of Action,' in April of 2013, was the first multi-state protest at FERC headquarters. Members of impacted communities wore Canalos's 'Docket No.' shirts during the meeting, and held up signs forming different messages during the course of the hour-long Commissioner's meeting. Groups represented that day included Minisink Matters, Stop the Minisink Compressor Station, Stop the (Constitution) Pipeline, Myersville Citizens for a Rural Community, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Stop the Rockaway Pipeline, and Sane Energy Project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564e196ce4b0573c9084e710/1447982665318-4775M8S8Z6C9W9QP0O19/936500_10151880589043858_1428814185_n.jpg NY Activism + Activist Art 'We the People Matter day of Action' protests were partially recorded by FERC's closed-circuit cameras, becoming a permanent part of FERC's own records.         Screen shot, video, FERC Monthly Commission Meeting, 2013. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564e196ce4b0573c9084e710/1447985410157-3H3XUY6J5GROD8EORHKA/EY5V0pz997sMvoB6ts7-XKUj7ywpu96nuz4iLIezptg%2CIjpXITyk9W8jaziFCXrcOPtfPm-GYAKRz05WNKCKEJA.jpg NY Activism + Activist Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564e196ce4b0573c9084e710/1447985283643-9YOGW38030OAI2SGEXS4/Back+Truck.jpg NY Activism + Activist Art Another beloved member of the Minisink community, Doug Burd, a mechanic, American veteran, and longtime resident of Minisink took it upon himself to start fixing the cars of families impacted by/battling the Minisink compressor. He also created, with help from Minisink residents, the 'Minisink Matters Truck,' which was permanently parked at rallies and events in Minisink; which was gloriously driven several times around Union Square at the 'Minisink Matters' Rally in 2013; and with which hayrides were given to children at a Stop the TGP Rally in Minisink's PA sister city, Milford, just across the Delaware.

Minisink residents called on Giliibrand- who ran a campaign based on her support of 9/11 First Responders, upstate farmers, and mothers/families- to act on behalf of her constituents to help shut down the Minisink compressor station. When no one from Gillibrand's office would come downstairs to receive the letter prepared by Canalos on behalf of the community, and after audio equipment failed, the letter was read out loud by bullhorn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564e196ce4b0573c9084e710/1447985510237-WR6EJF1UCTNHFGHFC0SF/IMAG0004.jpg NY Activism + Activist Art Canalos reads Minisink's letter to Senator Gillibrand by bullhorn at the 2013 Rally held in front of her NYC offices.

The rally served to educate NYC consumers about the risks of fracking infrastructure to the city's foodshed- especially organic and local foods. Additionally, the rally helped foster awareness of Minisink's case at the U.S. Court of Appeals, and to garner needed funding for Minisink's ongoing legal fees. Special guests included playwright and activist Eve Ensler; founder of The Mothers Project, Angela Monti Fox; Co-founder and co-director of Sane Energy Project, Clare Donohue; Kady Ferguson of the Brooklyn Food Coalition; and Will Blunt of Chefs for the Marcellus.

Scroggins was among the first activists to reach out to the Minisink community in 2011, attending rallies and supporting early efforts at opposition. In 2015, Scroggins was taken to court by the gas industry, on false charges of trespass, during which pipeline lawyers demanded her private communications be subpoenaed. Canalos designed images to help Scroggins raise funds for her defense.

These three zines address the harms of fracking on communities in the Greater Chaco area. They were made in collaboration with Diné and Pueblo community leaders, members of The Greater Chaco Coalition, who generously met with us to discuss how fossil fuel development has impacted their communities. Canalos led this project as Visiting Artist with the Land Arts of the American West artists in a collaborative and community-engaged effort to amplify the harms of fracking upon communities, ecosystems, and climate in New Mexico. The zines have been widely distributed at community and cultural events and centers, have been used in curricula in several colleges & universities, and are available to view here. In the Spring of 2019, the Chaco Art Zine, ‘Imbalance’ was censored by the New Mexico Museum of Art and the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs from an exhibit in the museum. In December of 2019, the artists launched a website detailing the censorship through a comprehensive timeline and requested IPRA documents: Greater Chaco Art Zines. They also created a petition, ‘Tell the New Mexico DCA & Museum of Art: Come Clean About Policy on Exhibiting Artworks Addressing the Fossil Fuel Industry in New Mexico.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564e196ce4b0573c9084e710/1580604523747-WIY40WSAVPSIBZJ8HNEL/chaco_night_asha.jpg NM Activism + Activist Art 'The Magic of This Place,’ Ink on paper, 10” x 12.5”, for the Land Arts of the American West/Greater Chaco Coalition Zines, 2018.
