LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- The Sacred Water Unity Walk is on its way to Pahrump, walking and running 700 miles now through the southern Nevada desert.

LAS VEGAS -- Hualapai, Paiute and Shoshone walkers and runners are carrying their Prayer and Sacred Water 700 miles from Hualapai's Ceremonial Place in Arizona, Ha'Kamwe', to the Paiute Massacre Site in northern Nevada, Peehee Mu-huh, Thacker Pass, both targeted with lithium mining.

Dorece Antonio, Fort McDermitt Paiute Shoshone, is a descendant of OxSam, a survivor of the Calvary's Massacre at Peehee Mu-huh.

Dorece said, "The purpose of our run is raising awareness for our water, which our future generation will depend on. The water at Ha'Kamwe' is already contaminated by arsenic and other gases, which was caused by drilling alone."

There was one story that no one would print, during the years that I lived on the Navajo Nation and worked as a news reporter.

After being given all the police files on the plane crash by a source in Window Rock, I investigated the plane crash that killed Navajo leaders, Shiprock Councilman Fred Johnson and Don Noble.

In Memory of Sandra Rambler, San Carlos Apache

"Our fight for our land, our water and our religious beliefs continue today. The Apaches were the last tribe to surrender to the United States government and just like our ancestors--we shall remain stronger than ever!" -- Sandra Rambler, San Carlos Apache, 'Traditionally Speaking'

In memory of my friend Sandra Rambler, San Carlos Apache, who has taken her flight to the Spirit World. Sandra was a bold journalist who never compromised, and never backed down.

Apache Stronghold: Protecting the Sacred -- A Response to the President

Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. of Apache Stronghold response to President Trump:

Our nation cannot survive if we sacrifice what is sacred in pursuit of temporary profits.

Today, President Trump said he wants to destroy our holy ground of Oak Flat so a foreign-owned corporation can send copper to China. Whether you’re Republican, Democrat, or neither, that is a terrible deal for the American people.

But this fight is much bigger than politics or profit. This is a fight about our identity as a nation.

Do we respect religious freedom? Will we safeguard our environment for our children and grandchildren? Or will we sacrifice it all for corporate greed?

We’re grateful that we’ve been joined in our struggle by people of many faiths—Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews, and more—and people of every political persuasion. That’s because this is not a partisan issue. It is a moral one.

If we destroy our sacred land and poison our environment, we are betraying our children and grandchildren and hurting ourselves. The future of the entire human race is at stake.

Three times now, courts have stopped this destructive project. That is because it is unjust, bad for our nation, and bad for the world. We hope the courts will stop the destruction of Oak Flat once and for all.

No matter what happens, I call on all people to continue to pray for justice and to stand with us in protecting Oak Flat. By protecting Oak Flat, we protect our children and grandchildren, protect Mother Earth, and protect everything that is sacred.

MNN. Aug. 18,  2025. Language rights are based on land rights. Energy flows when people come together. Canada is trying to break the tie to our land and to each other to break us up. Language is our life force. The words, songs, ceremonies, dances remind us and refresh our ties to our land which provide us with life giving energy and guidance on how to live with our mother earth. Speaking our language is  important. The colonizers have no connection to our land. Soon we will speak comfortably to each other again.  Our arts will flourish. Our interaction with the land, water, sky, air and all life on turtle island will guide our way into the future together. We have a purpose the colonizers and the colonizers want to continue to kill. We will survive and we will assimilate some colonizers and the rest will leave turtle island.

Standing Rock: The Day the Dogs Attacked, and the Refusal of Greenpeace to Cut a Deal with Energy Transfer

Standing Rock: The Day the Dogs Attacked, and the Refusal of Greenpeace to Cut a Deal with Energy Transfer

Listen to Reporter Alleen Brown at Drilled

After Tim Mentz identified the burial place of an important Standing Rock Chief, Energy Transfer brought in bulldozers, and dogs that attacked Water Protectors. In Alleen Brown's latest podcast report, following the trial Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace, Cody Hall describes what happened after the dogs attacked -- the people began pouring into camp.

Later, Energy Transfer told Greenpeace that it would settle the lawsuit, and let Greenpeace live, if they would say that Dakota Access Pipeline did not violate sacred sites. That didn't happen.

The ruling by Judge Dominic Lanza triggered an immediate appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals as a deadline fast approaches for the federal government to move ahead with the transfer next week." -- AP

Deb Haaland's BIA and BLM were part of a joint terrorism task force that stalked Paiute and Shoshone as they prayed at the Paiute Massacre Site, Peehee Mu'huh, Thacker Pass. Haaland was head of the Interior Department during the years of secret surveillance. The government agencies and law enforcement met in Reno in 2022 and targeted Thacker Pass protectors, new documents reveal.

The BIA and BLM were part of 10 agencies in a joint terrorism task force stalking defenders of Peehee Mu-huh, Thacker Pass, new documents reveal. The surveillance intensified when Myron Dewey supported. The Nevada Sheriff said there could be "another Standing Rock," and called in a "spin master" to discredit Water Protectors, as he had done at Standing Rock. ProPublica and Nevada Independent expose the surveillance. Censored News tracks back on the timeline. Interior Sec. Deb Haaland's BIA was part of the joint terrorism task force targeting the defenders of Peehee Mu-huh.

THACKER PASS, Nevada -- While descendants of the survivors of the massacre of Paiutes at Peehee Mu'huh struggled to protect the sacred remains from the digging of a lithium mine, owned by Lithium Americas on Canada -- law enforcement had a spider web of surveillance.

The law enforcement surveillance of defenders of Peehee Mu'huh, Thacker Pass, began before Myron Dewey was killed, and continued afterwards.

ProPublica and Nevada Independent expose the spy trail of law enforcement and private security of Lithium Americas. The surveillance web of 10 agencies included the BIA, and a counter-terrorism task force.

STANDING ROCK LAKOTA NATION, North Dakota -- In her latest podcast, Alleen Brown takes a boat ride out to Dakota Access Pipeline, and describes the leak that no one was supposed to know about -- except the court accidentally posted it online.

Alleen talks with Doug Crow Ghost, and Avis Red Bear about Dakota Access Pipeline spills, concern over the safety of their drinking water, and the secrecy that brought a jury award of more than $660 million to the pipeline, in the case of Energy Transfer v Greenpeace.

If you look at all the sealed documents online in the case, you'll see that the North Dakota District Court in Morton County, and North Dakota Supreme Court, really didn't want the truth to get out.

STOP REDACTING THE GENOCIDE

https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2025/08/05/stop-redacting-the-genocide/

MNN. Stop redacting Canada’s past and current genocide policy. Redact is to remove words or information from a text before it is made available to the public. In other words. lying. The latest is Prime Minister Carney’s Bill C5, the “One Canadian Economy Act” of the colony of Canada to take indigenous land and resources without consulting us, the land owners and caregivers. We allowed them to live here by agreeing to follow the teiohateh Two Row and kaianerekowa Great Peace. They reneged on the agreement and so are now in breach of it.

PREMEDITATED GRAND THEFT OF TURTLE ISLAND

Posted on August 2, 2025 by Kan1enkehaka

https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2025/08/02/premeditated-grand-theft-of-turtle-island/\


MNN. JULY 26, 2025. We don’t trust Canada. Prime Minister Carney’s Bill C5 is fraud. For us there is no freedom of speech in Canada. Our voices are deliberately not heard. Every person has a right to speak about the violations of their freedom of speech without all kinds of procedural rules or lack of funds being used to interfere with that right. At the end of a treaty on indigenous land transfer there is a section that specifies that only the government can buy the land. There is a reference to taxation as “property” tax. The government taxes their subjects for indigenous land they don’t own. If the property tax is not paid yearly, the government seizes the indigenous land along with any dwellings on it. All turtle island is tax free indian land. The government cannot collect taxes from an Indian. New Prime Minister of Canada Carney pushed his C5 bill through Parliament to fill the pockets of federal and provincial governments and trillionaire shysters on Wall Street.

The U.N. Permanent Forum: The Sterilization of Native American Women and Destructive Mining are Priorities in Final Report

A representative of Indigenous in Morocco said the world must hold the Moroccan government responsible for not restoring and rebuilding the schools and communities, following the devastating 2023 earthquake in Morocco. Indigenous Amazigh communities in the High Atlas Mountains continue to suffer, nearly 500,000 Amazigh continue without homes and dignity. She urged the release of Indigenous prisoners in Morocco, arrested for peaceful protest of Indigenous rights. On the final day of the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in April of 2025, Indigenous women delivered powerful statements, including global voices for midwives, and demands for justice for Native American women sterilized by the U.S. government. During the final day, the U.S. government representative criticized China for the genocide of ethnic minorities -- but he did not describe the U.S. government's own genocide.
