NEW TOWN, North Dakota -- Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation Chairman Mark Fox blocked entry to Lakota women and children on the No DAPL Walk arriving from Standing Rock.
Chairman Fox positioned tribal police in a roadblock at the entrance to the tribal compound today, Thursday afternoon, as Lakota women and children from Standing Rock, Cheyenne River and Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara arrived on a solidarity walk.
Standing with tribal police and tribal security who created a police roadblock as the walkers arrived, Chairman Fox blocked the entrance.
Chairman Fox told Lakota youth walkers that oil and gas drilling and fracking will continue on the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation. Fox said that President Biden's executive order halting new oil and gas drilling, and examining old leases, did not apply. Fox told youths that tribes were exempt.
Positioned with police at the entrance, Chairman Fox told Lakota youths and children that the tribe would not stop Dakota Access Pipeline.
The Lakota women had planned to gather in the parking lot at tribal headquarters and speak out about the threats to the future. They also planned to urge the tribe to create a plan for a just transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy.

A Warm Welcome Home in Standing Rock
Earlier today, Native youths received a warm welcome home at Standing Rock, following their actions in the streets of Washington DC to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline and Enbridge Line 3 in Minnesota.
In DC, Native youths delivered 400,000 petitions to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers demanding that the pipelines be shut down. They marched through the streets of D.C. with a 200-foot black snake, symbolizing the pipelines, which was "killed" outside the White House.
Lakota youths locked down to tripods outside the White House during the actions on April 1.
Calling out to President Biden to shut down both pipelines, they resounded "Water is Life, Mni Wiconi," the refrain of the Water Protectors Camp at Standing Rock.
The U.S. mainstream media censored the news of the Lakota frontline pipeline actions in DC.
There was a bizarre news blackout of the events in the United States, which should have appeared on the front pages of major newspapers across the country.
Although censored in the United States, the actions were covered by the news media in France, Iran, Russia, Germany, and Latin America.
Gas Flaring and Man Camps
Meanwhile, those arriving today at New Town saw the horror of the gas flaring spread across the barren land of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation. The gas flaring fumes choke the people and cause respiratory illness.
The oil and gas man camps of workers here have resulted in the abuse of children, sex trafficking, drugs, and violent crime.
In the Pattern of Custer's Scouts
In related news, it was Heath Harmon, Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, who was the paid FBI informant in Standing Rock Water Protectors Camp in 2016.
Harmon set up Red Fawn for arrest and imprisonment, reports The Intercept.
Harmon, in his discussions with law enforcement, said his uncle Gerald Fox worked in BIA law enforcement special operations targeting the American Indian Movement in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and elsewhere in Indian country.

Blood Money: The dark history of oil and gas leases on the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation Rising to popularity as leader of the National Congress of American Indians, Tex Hall was a popular chairman and well-liked in Indian country. But while he charmed Indian country, another force was set in motion. Hall brought widespread oil and gas drilling to his homeland, poisoning the air, land, and water. The man camps were riddled with crimes against girls, drug trafficking, and violence, and it continues today. In the end, Hall's business partner in the oil and gas industry was convicted of murdering two of their other business partners. One was a young man who was bludgeoned to death, and the other was murdered by a hitman at his home in Washington State. The oil and gas money is blood money. -- Censored News Read more in the New York Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/29/us/in-north-dakota-where-oil-corruption-and-bodies-surface.html Life sentence in contract killing: https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2016/may/24/henrikson-receives-life-sentence-in-carlile-contra/ Biden's executive order pausing new oil and gas drilling: https://qz.com/1963517/bidens-new-climate-executive-orders-pause-oil-and-gas-leasing/ Article copyright Brenda Norrell, Censored News |
