"Today we stood strong against this Nazi oil-bought police force. They set off LRAD on us, hit us, maced us, arrested our grandmothers, and uncles, shot at our horse relatives, and set off concussion grenades, and rubber bullets into the unarmed crowd. They desecrated sacred land and destroyed our homes on tribal land. We had snipers scoping me out with an assault rifle pointed at me and my relative. Our hearts were wounded but we will regroup and keep our minds in high vibrations because it is not over.
We will stop the pipeline." Cepoalli, shared on Censored News, as it happened, Oct. 27, 2016

QUEBEC SUPERIOR COURT DECISION –  JUDGE GREGORY MOORE. OCT. 27, 2022. THE ORDER :

MNN. Oct. 28, 20220.We are happy to announce yesterday’s successful court decision for the Mohawk Mothers in #500-17-120-468-221 kahentinetha et al v. Societe quebecois des infrastructure et al. This landmark decision halts all excavation work at the Royal Victoria Hospital site. This is the first injunction granted to self-represented indigenous people based on our way of representing ourselves, using our great peace to achieve concensus.  The judge decided that the two parties shall spend 4 months together to do this but will convene out of court to determine together the best archaeological practices to respect the land and remains.

Letter to the Edior

Tony Gonzales, AIM West

To the Editor,

Just off the trail with Indigenous Peoples Day - Monday, October 10, 2022 a date celebrated by all Indigenous Peoples across the Americas (Aba-Yala) and at Alcatraz Island (annual) Sunrise Gathering - the San Francisco Chronicle published claims that the recently deceased Sacheen Littlefeather was not Native after all. Sadly, the Chronicle made no effort to examine the deeper meaning of what it means to be Native and who decides.

An Offering to Mother Earth

Transcribed by Censored News

"Every step that you take on this Mother Earth is a sacred step, every step is a prayer, every step is an offering, every inch of this Mother Earth is Turtle Island, it has the remains of our Ancestors, every one of these people that are here today, people from this area, people from the surrounding area, the Indigenous People."

Standing next to Ute Grandmother Thelma Whiskers, Ofelia said, "She looks like she is by herself, but from generations since the beginning of the Earth, her ancestors are standing behind her."

Dine' Challenge Biden's Approval of Fracking Greater Chaco

Advocates challenge Biden double-down on Trump-era fracking on sacred land in Greater Chaco

Coalition statement

October 25, 2022

Today, a group of Diné and conservation groups challenged the Biden administration’s approval of fracking on nearly 45,000 acres—70 square miles—of the Greater Chaco region of northwest New Mexico. In April, the groups entered a legal agreement with the Biden administration under which it reconsidered these leasing decisions given the fracking’s close proximity to homes and within the sacred Sisnaateel Mesa Complex, central to Diné cosmology and akin in importance to Jerusalem, Mecca, or the Bodhi Tree in India. Betraying Interior Sec. Deb Haaland’s “Honoring Chaco” initiative, the Bureau of Land Management rubber-stamped approvals for this leasing in August.

'Water is Life' White Mesa Ute Spiritual March Against Uranium Mill

“This is our home and the home of our ancestors – we are the caretakers of this land and the waters beneath it," said Yolanda Badback, White Mesa Concerned Community.
"They dug up our ancestors who were buried there."
Describing the dangerous disposal of radioactive waste, Badback said, "We don't drink the tap water here, we go out and purchase our water."
Badback expressed her deep appreciation for the large crowd that came to walk with her. She said they are continuing this fight for the future generations.
"I don't want it to expand anymore," she said of the plans to bring in radioactive waste from more regions.
Badback said the Native medicine plants are no longer growing.
Badback's mother, Thelma Whiskers, who has spent her life here, thanked everyone for coming.

Please Post and Circulate.

She:kon everyone. We are bracing for the hearing tomorrow at the Quebec Superior Court while the excavators and backhoe are already digging up our land at the Royal Victoria Hospital. We want to thank everyone that supported us in our struggle to protect our land and children. We will post updates shortly. Stay tuned.

Kahentinetha

p.s.: I have been notified that I have made a factual mistake at a recent speech at Concordia by stating that the minister of Crown Indigenous Relations Mark Miller had served in the Canadian military in the Oka crisis. While Miller was effectively an infantry commander in the Canadian Army Primary Reserve, he was not present in Oka as he was 17 years old and his military duty was allegedly peeling potatoes. I was misinformed, and if the Prime Minister and the Pope can apologize, so can I. kahentinetha

As Late Kurt Cobain apologized for leaving this world,

Returning to his Tlingit homeland, he grew up with the women in his family, and learned the great skill and art of smokin' fish. As Cory says, 'How much fun I had.' Cory's life story is interwoven with the epic words of his family and people, Tlingit art and culture. Take a journey with him, on the water and in the smokehouse, smokin' fish. -- Censored News

Western Shoshone Ian Zabarte 'Impact of Radiation on Indigenous People'

Ian Zabarte, Western Shoshone, speaks on Disproportionate Impact of Ionizing Radiation' during online class, Oct. 25 -- 27, 2022

Radiation Information for Everyone! Mary Olson — September 30, 2022 RADIATION INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE! Cindy Folkers (Beyond Nuclear) and Mary Olson (Gender and Radiation Impact Project) have set out to teach about radiation—not the same as an advocacy training. We want to help people be able to think about ionizing radiation, to better understand presentations, research papers, policy statements, and be more confident in asking questions, as well as helping their communities to understand radiation’s hazards better. We decided to teach on-line, in a “short-course” format. Our first class, teaming up with Ian Fairlie has gone well! We plan to continue teaching—with a different set of options each quarter…though likely a basics class will recur. Two more classes are slated for this Fall. All via Zoom, we offer web page where the talks are pre-recorded and participants can watch at their own pace, as well as additional reading. Coming up: OCTOBER: DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT OF IONIZING RADIATION 3 evenings— Class time for discussion and questions, Oct 25th, 26th and 27th at 7pm eastern time We will look at evidence of greater harm from radiation to women, and to developing embryo and fetus and young children, as well as well documented targeting of People of Color and Indigenous people. We will welcome Ian Zabarte of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation as a guest speaker. Cindy Folkers brings her extensive review of literature from the historical perspective, and Mary Olson speaks about her biological findings and a long perspective working on national and some global nuclear policy since 1991. DECEMBER: UNDERSTANDING THE HOW AND WHY OF U.S. RADIATION REGULATION — Class meetings for dialogue and questions, 3 days, Dec 6th, 7th and 8th at noon, eastern time. Dave Lochbaum and Diane D’Arrigo (Nuclear Information and Resource Service) join us in presenting a historical perspective, the current primary federal regulations, how these are implemented and a thorough review of both the current Reference Man, and the proposal being promoted by both Beyond Nuclear and Gender and Radiation Impact Project for Reference Girl. Cindy and Mary will also present. REGISTRATION REQUIRED We are charging fees on a sliding scale ($30—$300) —AND we have a scholarship fund. No one turned away for financial reasons.
