The Land You Know Has Been Given to You


The Gold Mine


Robert Lundahl

I just turned the recording on so we're official. It’s really nice to meet you could you could you both introduce yourselves for whomever might be listening to this podcast or reading this article – who are you and why are you here and where are you?


Preston Arrow-Weed

Preston J Arrow–weed, I'm on the Fort Yuma reservation. What else do you need?


Robert Lundahl Who is the fellow next to you?


Preston Arrow-Weed Oh this is Faron.


Faron Owl

Basically I've worked with Preston and just trying to help as much as I can on all these fights that we're involved with but it's been very good experience.


Robert Lundahl

I've been paying attention and that's what I wanted to talk to you about, so could you describe the event the other day? You guys had a run and went out to a sacred place with a geoglyph, and an official BLM geo-glyph sign there. So this is close to Oro Cruz, which is a gold mine is that correct?

MNN. Apr. 3. 2023. Canadians are beginning to be haunted by two past issues, murders of indigenous children and their unmarked graves being found. So far many thousands of unmarked graves have been discovered across Canada of children who were taken and disposed of, as well as numbers of children who were sold to colonial settlers for as little as $100. Most bodies are found near the Canadian Government Indian residential schools they were forced to attend. Many were medically experimented upon or died from mistreatment.
