TOHONO O'odham Nation, Sells, Arizona -- The U.S. military has dramatically increased its dangerous jet combat fighting over the heart of the Tohono O'odham Nation, with combat jets, a private corporation and a plane labeled as "the death trap," due to safety violations.

Tohono O'odham who live below say the sonic blasts break the plaster in their traditional homes. Dangerous flares endanger all life below, including the endangered species of Sonoran Pronghorn and more. Tohono O'odham are at risk below, including those in the community of Pisinemo this week.

The U.S. Air Force now plans to expand its dangerous use of the airspace over Tohono O'odham, White Mountain and San Carlos Apache and Pascua Yaqui communities in Arizona. Sacred places including Baboquivari Peak on the Tohono O'odham Nation are among those at risk.

Buried in Time: When the Trail of Broken Treaties arrived in Washington and took over the BIA headquarters, the documents discovered in the BIA file cabinets altered the course of history. In the caravans from the west coast and northwest were activists from local Indigenous frontline struggles, from Pit River, Survival American Indian, and Alcatraz.

The BIA documents exposed the secret plan of Oglala Chairman Dick Wilson to turn over one-eighth of tribal land over to the federal government for uranium mining. In the ton of documents taken away in a U-Haul, the documents showed proof of the sterilization of Native women by Indian Health Service doctors.

And there was more.
