In His Own Words: Tohono O'odham Mike Wilson

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 1, 2024

Tohono O'odham Mike Wilson, in his new book, says the liberal left have failed to hold the Tohono O'odham Nation responsible for the death of migrants in the desert by depriving them of water.

Wilson's words come as millions of dollars flow into tribal governments with a long history of leasing tribal lands to mining, and who are signing away the peoples water rights. At the same time, millions of dollars are quietly pouring into non-profits in Indian country, and few, if any, are holding tribal governments responsible for irreparable harm.

In his new book, What Side Are You On? Wilson describes how Tohono O'odham Nation police smashed his life-saving water stations, and one district forbid him from leaving water for migrants. Wilson also describes how the Presbyterian Church, where he served as a lay pastor on the Tohono O'odham Nation, forbid him from putting out life-saving water.

Wilson, in the broader picture, paints a portrait of this society, in the United States, as one that has lost its sense of humanity.

Standing Rock -- Police gang broke hip of Comanche water protector, now Bismarck officer facing justice

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, September 28, 2024

BISMARCK, North Dakota -- When a gang of thirty law enforcement chased and pounced on Comanche water protector Eric Poemoceah  -- Eric cried out in pain and  told them they had broken his hip, but they laughed at him, and made him walk to an  ambulance.

Now, an appeals court has returned the case to the district court, as Eric seeks justice. It has been more than seven years after the Standing Rock camps were brutally cleared by law enforcement on Feb. 22, 2017.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said on Wednesday that Eric “plausibly alleges a Fourth Amendment excessive force claim against Bismarck Officer Benjamin Swenson" and sent that claim back to the district court for further proceedings.

Resource extraction and racism escalated in the bordertown of Farmington during times of boom, Dine' John Redhouse tells Melanie Yazzie, Dine', of The Red Nation.

"In Farmington they both escalated during times of boom energy, first it was oil and gas and uranium in the 50's and 60's, and in the 70's through the early 80's, it was primarily coal -- but there was a good level of oil and gas extraction and processing as well," Redhouse said.

Images of Impossible Bridges: Yo A Radish…

Espanol, German, Italian

No, I don't mean that I don't give a damn about what they say against me for defending their precious precious. Nor that, as "progressives", they are red on the outside and white on the inside. I'm talking about a radish. Of the vegetable, then, that they call "radish".

This little story begins in the Journey for Life, Europe chapter. Before they left, I asked some of my classmates to send me photos of what they saw and what caught their attention in the places they would be assigned to.

El Capitan, Marcos 'Images of Impossible Bridges: III A Letter'

.

El Capitan, Marcos, in this new series of articles, writes of the struggle and journeys. "Along the way we learned that the voice that teaches is Uma Kiwe, our Mother Earth; She indicates the path and the strategies," but then in 2016 all these others began to arrive, with isms, environmentalism, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, Maoism, institutionalism, developmentalism -- all bearing the seal of Western rationality. 

"None contributed anything worthwhile. And of course, there were and will be people who only came to get what they could. And they left when they could get no more. They were not 'isms,' they were, and are, just scoundrels."

Actually, the letter is very short. It arrived from Cauca, in the geography called Colombia, with a request from the brother Nasa indigenous people. I think it was at the end of 2022. Wait… yes, it arrived on October 31, 2022. The Nasa brothers asked that an article be spread on the Enlace Zapatista page, that is, that it be published there.

I read the text carefully, compared the data and thought: “if it is published on the page, no one will pay attention to it. And I think that what they want is not to have many “views”, but rather that what is said there is read and understood here, in the mountains of the Mexican Southeast. Then we are going to do something better than publish it on the Enlace Zapatista page: I am going to pass it on to the Zapatista political-organizational leadership. Let them be the ones who value it for what it is: an impossible bridge.” Why “impossible”? Now you will see:

Weeks ago, groups of Zapatista youths had meetings to see how they could promote the issue of commonality among themselves and with youths from political parties.

Then they had the idea of ​​a marathon (23 kilometers) on dirt roads with steep slopes (that is, «hills» – as we call them here).

Their plan was that there would be no personal benefit prizes among those who won. Instead, the objective was for the award to be a productive base to start first with the groups in their towns. From there, the next step is to create common projects, where youths from political parties are involved.

Hopi Federal Judge First to Halt Desecration from Lithium Drilling

Federal Judge Diane Humetewa, Hopi, is First to Halt Interior Sec. Deb Haaland's Lithium Drilling Permits in Native Ceremonial Places

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Sept. 18, 2024

Federal Judge Diane Humetewa, Hopi, is the first federal judge to halt the lithium permits being given out by Interior Sec. Deb Haaland. Humetewa granted a temporary restraining order halting an Australian company's lithium drilling at Hualapai's Sacred Spring.

Now, U.S. District Judge Humetewa will rule on whether to make it permanent. Humetewa is the first to ask attorneys to submit arguments concerning the federal laws that protect historic and archaeological sites and the environment.

Judge Humetewa gave lawyers on both sides until next Tuesday to summarize their arguments and more specifically respond to questions she asked about the government’s compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.

BISMARCK, North Dakota -- A federal judge in North Dakota blasted criticisms at the pro-Palestine support at Columbia University, calling it an "incubator of bigotry." Now, attorneys at Columbia representing Standing Rock water protectors say the judge should recuse himself from a federal case, because he is unable to be fair. 

Federal Judge Daniel Traynor refused to do it.

PHOENIX (AP) — "Members of an Arizona tribe urged a federal judge Tuesday to extend a temporary ban on exploratory drilling for a lithium project near lands they have used for religious and cultural ceremonies for centuries.

"The judge indicated she wouldn’t decide for more than a week whether to grant the tribe’s request or lift a temporary restraining order she issued last month."

Apache Stronghold Asks Supreme Court to Save Oak Flat

By Becket Law, Censored News, Sept. 11, 2024

WASHINGTON – A coalition of Western Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies asked the Supreme Court today to protect their sacred site at Oak Flat from destruction by a multinational mining giant. In Apache Stronghold v. United States, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to stop the federal government from transferring Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, a foreign-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive mining crater, ending Apache religious practices forever (Watch this short video to learn more). The Apaches and their allies hosted a day of prayer outside the Court as they asked the Justices to save the spiritual lifeblood of their people.

Energy Transfer plans to bankrupt Greenpeace USA with its $300 million lawsuit, and rewrite history by diminishing the role of Native people leading the movement to protect the water at Standing Rock from Dakota Access Pipeline. More than 290 organizations, and tens of thousands of individuals, have signed a letter supporting Greenpeace.

The SLAPP lawsuit names Greenpeace, Red Warrior Society and individual water protectors. Water protectors are also being served with third party subpoenas, in a fishing expedition for information. The lawsuit is slated for North Dakota State Court in Morton County in February of 2025 -- eight years after militarized police tore down and ransacked the water protector camps.

SEATTLE -- Standing Rock Water Protector Aysenur Eygi was honored tonight on the banks of Alki Beach in Seattle. Aysenur, 26, was a life long activist, an American with dual citizenship in Turkey, and a recent graduate of the University of Washington.

Aysenur was among those who came to Standing Rock to defend the water from Dakota Access Pipeline. Aysenur was 18 years old when she came to Standing Rock.

"It was an intentional killing which can not be justified," said Jonathan Pollak, who tried to resuscitate Aysenur as she bled to death.

"It was quiet, there was nothing to justify the shot, the shot was taken to kill," Pollak said.

Dr. Wendsler Nosie, Sr. once told me that to really know how to fight for justice you must go to the places that are suffering to listen and learn. Mother Earth is crying everywhere, not just at Oak Flat, if you have ears to listen and eyes to see. And these cries of Mother Earth are at the same connected to the cries of the oppressed.
