Australians Rush to Mine Lithium in Hualapai's Sacred Place, a Navajo Enterprise is Leading the Desecration
 Australians Rush to Mine Lithium in Hualapai's Sacred Place, and a Navajo Enterprise is Leading the Desecration Update: The Bureau of Land Management approved the Big Sandy lithium project in the area of Hualapai's Ceremonial Place in June. The so-called 'Navajo Transitional Energy Company,' a Navajo Nation enterprise is carrying out the drilling operation for an Australian mining company. This is the latest attack on sacred places by Interior Sec. Deb Haaland's BLM. It is another fake green project destroying ceremonial places for lithium for batteries, under the name of green energy for profits for an Australian corporation.

SYDNEY, Australia -- While sipping wine at the Sydney Opera House, investors hear how much money they can make mining lithium in Arizona. The enthusiastic project manager is excited to tell them that Arizona loves mining, as can be seen with all its copper mines.
"They are a mining friendly state," says Paul Lloyd, managing director at Arizona Lithium, owned by Hawkstone Energy, in Perth, Australia.
"They are very pro-lithium production."
On the other side of the world, Hualapai are offering prayers at their sacred spring, Ha’Kamwe’ their sacred place for healing and rites of passage, including childbirth and coming-of-age ceremonies for young women. It has been their ceremonial place since time immemorial.
Not far away, in Farmington, New Mexico -- a bordertown with a long history of crimes against Native Americans -- a new epicenter of fake green energy projects emerges.

Vigil for Leonard Peltier in San Francisco
Article by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, June 2024
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Prayer Vigil for Freedom for Leonard Peltier, held at the U.S. Department of Justice, honored the Ohlone people whose land the people stood on, and honored Peltier with a tribute by Pomo Yuki Resistance. Peltier was remembered for the stand he took for the Lakota people on Pine Ridge before he was imprisoned 49 years ago."It would be very cruel if the parole board denies him his freedom," said Tony Gonzales, AIM West, pointing out that Peltier's last parole hearing was in 2009. The vigil was held on June 10, the same day as Peltier's parole hearing at Coleman Prison in Florida.
Peltier's nephew Adam Villagomez, Dakota Chippewa, said Peltier went to Pine Ridge to help the people. "When the grandmas asked for help, to come protect them, to please come help them from being attacked, just for being traditional people, for standing up, standing up for traditional rights, he went there, and put his life on the line and started working with the community." His mother is the first cousin of Leonard Peltier.

Remembering Klee, For The People
By Shannonlynn Chester, Censored News, June 13, 2024
French translation by Christine Prat
In February, a local publication ran a piece on Klee that said "RAGE. In Beauty". But sometimes the world didn't see him (or any of us associated with him) that way. His way of "raging in beauty" didn't fit into what society saw as normal or peaceful at all, but I'm reminded today that Klee saw beauty in everything. If it didn't exist in something, he did something about it, he spoke the truth on it. He was someone who lived and breathed beauty, love, kinship, respect ... he embodied hózhó -- we should all be like that.

Things I’ve Seen Hate-Filled Far Left Deranged Lunatics Do
By Lang Gore, Censored News, June 14, 2024
In the spring of 2004 my partner and I went to an anti-war demonstration near the campus of the University of Arizona. It was perfectly legal, “permitted,” so long as we stayed crowded onto the sidewalks by the cops, who seemed to outnumber us. We were not permitted to step into the streets. One of the speakers screamed at the cops for a very long time in a very shrill voice. It was a demonstration, all right--a demonstration of impotence.
Someone gave us a flyer announcing a May Day march sponsored by anarchists. We showed up on May Day at the specified park; after a few minutes everyone went into the streets, whereupon for the next few hours we walked through downtown Tucson with our banners and chants. "Whose streets? Our streets!"

American Indian Genocide Museum is Honoree of Center for Healing of Racism
"Sanitizing history was at the heart of residential boarding schools," said Steve Melendez, Paiute, President of the American Indian Genocide Museum. "The brainwashing that was encompassed in the motto, 'kill the Indian, save the man,' ripped the children from the arms of their mothers, killed the pride self-esteem, and the very spirit of an entire generation of our people."

Peltier's Clemency in Final UN Permanent Forum Report Just Released
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, June 6, 2024
NEW YORK -- The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues published its final report from this year's session, which reiterates the call for the U.S. to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, and urges new safeguards in the battle against fake green energy projects, and more resources for Indigenous youths and women.
"The Permanent Forum reiterates the recommendation it made to the United States at its twenty-second session to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier," states the UN Permanent Forum's final report for the U.N. Economic and Social Council, published June 5, 2024.
A new Special Rapporteur for Indigenous Peoples was selected during the session, Suleiman Mamutov, an attorney from the Ukraine.
The fake green projects -- which are now killing children in cobalt mines in Africa and digging into the Paiute Shoshone massacre site for lithium in Nevada -- are also addressed in the report.
