Common Property History

On Earth Day 1995 The 7th Generation Committee launched a five year campaign towards passing an amendment to the United States constitution for the protection of common property - that property which cannot be own by any individual - such as air and water. In June 1998 The Protect The Earth Journey from Red Cliff WI to Madison, the state capitol, became another step in the process of developing public awareness as to the necessity for such an amendment to the constitution.

In July of 2000 the Walk To Rember carried the Common Property message as well as water specific messages around Lake Superior. As of Spring 2001, The Common Property Admendment is still a rather geographically isolated campaign. There are beginning to be individual activists as well as NGO's who are carrying the message across the oceans and land.

	History of the Common Property Amendment The first draft seventh generation admendment was drawn up in the mid nineties by Robin Gorree, then an attorney working for the Bad River tribe, together with her partner Tom Busiahn and Walter Bressette. Since then the idea has been carried around the lake Superior region by environmental and social justice activists. The vision continues to unfold and take root.
