Cameco, the Canadian company that mysteriously received 550 tons of yellow cake supposedly from Iraq, to Montreal, continues to target Lakota territory for uranium mining
NRC Sets Hearing Date for Cameco, Inc. In Situ Leach Uranium Mining License Renewal
(Sept. 17, 2008) By Ow Aku (Bring Back the Way)
PINE RIDGE, South Dakota -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has set Sept 30-Oct 1, 2008 for the hearing date for petitioners to intervene in the 10 year license renewal proceeding for Cameco, Inc.’s In Situ Leach uranium mine near Crawford, Nebraska. A four judge panel of the Atomic Licensing Board has been established and will convene at Chadron, Nebraska State College in the Student Center. The hearing is open to the public.
It takes many generations for the adulterated water to recover so that it can once again be used for traditional medicines and ceremonies, and for drinking and irrigation, causing environmental and cultural impacts, lack of environmental justice, depletion of the aquifer at a time of drought, and economic detriments to property owners as a result of the lowering of the water table.

Tohono O'odham water stations removed:'Crime against humanity'
NewsHour: Mike Wilson, Tohono O'odham, said the act of removing three of his water stations was a crime against humanity

On Aug. 31, Tohono O'odham tribal members Mike Wilson and David Garcia were ordered by tribal official Veronica Harvey to take down water stations for migrants passing through Tohono O'odham reservation on the Arizona-Mexico border.
The pair of humanitarian aid workers refused. But when they returned to the border area days later, they found three of their water stations had been removed.
"It's unconscionable that the Tohono O'odham tribal council not only does absolutely nothing to prevent migrant deaths but are now confiscating my water stations," said Wilson. "That's the situation that I'm in."

Mohawks: Assaults at border ignored by mainstream media
HOW DO WE DEFEND OURSELVES FROM “OUT OF CONTROL” CORNWALL CANADA BORDER GUARDS?
Another assault at border - Important trial ignored by mainstream media
Mohawk Nation News
Sep. 17, 2008. “Harassment at the Canada-US border is an every day occurrence”, said Ia:hawi, a 44-year old mother of seven. On December 18, 2006, she went to the Canada Customs House on Cornwall Island to deliver a notice for a friend who had been falsely pulled over and accused of running the port. He told the agents to “F--k off” and then left. He’s lived there all his life and his id showed he was “Indian”.
The purported U.S.-Canada border cuts right through the middle of the Akwesasne “Indian” community. There are 5 colonial jurisdictions – U.S. , Canada , New York State , Ontario and Quebec . The situation is hell for the community members. They have to cross several times a day and go through almost daily brutality by the Canada Border Services Agents CBSA.
About 3 years ago Ia:hawi was 7 months pregnant. She was pulled over for a “routine check” and held in the holding cell. She had nothing to eat, got stressed out and started going into labor. She called for help. They told her to sit there and wait. All she could do was lay on her back on the bench with her feet on the wall to prevent her baby from coming prematurely. Eventually they deported her to the U.S. and ordered not to return to Canada . CBSA separated her from her family for a whole year.

The page of history has turned and the era of decolonization for our continent Abya Yala is now in the birth pains of a new reality for all our relations. The cry across the continent is for liberation in fulfillment of the promise expressed by the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 13, 2007. The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples establishes a historic tipping point, the Magna Carta of the Indigenous Peoples globally which became national law within the Republic of Bolivia on November 7, 2007 as a consequence of the leadership of President Evo Morales Ayma.
