It wasn't the tribal governments, or non-profits, it was the Dine', the Strong Hearts, that fed their neighbors, dug horses and donkeys out of the mud, and paddled in canoes to reach their families. It was the Dine', the Big Hearts, that rushed to the front after catastrophic flooding.

"I witnessed a true outpouring of K’é today," said Aneth, Utah Chapter Dr. Carma Claw, PhD. "Our Navajo families and neighbors showing up for one another. Thank you to every volunteer who worked tirelessly throughout the night and the day."

They want to murder our relatives, Saguaro. We're not going to allow them to do that. -- Tohono O'odham Chairman Verlon Jose

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. -- Tohono O'odham Chairman Verlon Jose told the National Congress of American Indians that the U.S. government plans to murder O'odham relatives, the Saguaro, which have personhood.

During his presentation on a panel on sacred lands, Chairman Jose described efforts to stop the monstrous border wall from being constructed and gave priority to their court case and warriors on the frontline.

"Right now, we have warriors on the front line -- right now. We have warriors on the front line and they said, 'We're going to do what we do best, and that is prayer. We're not protesting, we're here in prayer, and we believe our prayer is strong."
