This week's top story at Censored News is on Leadhorse Choctaw returning to court in Virginia, after a Native film crew was attacked by racist police in Virginia. The cameras kept rolling and documented the "Mississippi Burning" style screaming racist police officer. On Wednesday, Leadhorse Choctaw was ordered to spend 10 days in jail. He is now in jail and scheduled to be released on Jan. 14. The court set $7,500 as bail to appeal. Mohawks and Native youths were in Virginia to promote Indigenous Games to be held in Akwesasne. Special thanks to the film crew for sharing this video. Watch it at:

"Halt Grand Canyon Mining," is the fifth most popular article this week. Havasupai and other Native Americans continue to fight the planned uranium mining in the Grand Canyon that could poison a vital water source in the Southwest, and desecrate the place where Supai pray for the wellbeing of the world:
