‘BEFORE THE MEN CAN GO TO WAR, THE WOMEN MUST MAKE THEIR MOCCASINS.”

In the tradition of our ancestors, it was customary for the women to make the moccasins worn by the men who were going to war. If the women did not want war, they did not make the moccasins. Our ancestors belonged to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Europeans called us Iroquois.

Russia Rebuked for Calling Indigenous People 'Mentally Ill' at U.N. Permanent Forum

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, April 22, 2026

Dine' (Navajo) Jean Whitehorse told the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues today that she was a victim of the U.S. sterilization program, denying her the right to have more children. Whitehorse said she is a survivor of the boarding school and relocation systems of the colonized U.S. government. At Gallup Indian Medical Center in New Mexico in 1972 she was sterilized without her consent by an Indian Health Service doctor. "I wanted more children," Whitehorse told the U.N.  Describing the impact on the culture and future of the Dine' people, Whitehorse said, "There is no Navajo term for sterilization. In our culture, true wealth is our children. They are the Guardians of our Heritage." Whitehorse said the sterilizations by U.S. doctors is not only an individual loss, but the loss of generations. She said it is a violation of international rights. Speaking as a representative of AIM West, Whitehorse points out Indigenous women have been sterilized in countries from Canada to South America and their struggle for justice continues.

Breaking News -- During this morning's session of the U.N. Permanent Forum, an Indigenous representative responded to the International Fund of Russia's representative who called the majority of Russia's Indigenous Peoples "mentally ill." She said this not only insulted Indigenous people as inferior, but it is "psychological violence," which creates collective trauma and discredits entire cultures. She said this man has been turning the protection of human rights into money making by way of NGOs and personal businesses, and the money is being stolen through schemes. She said he is being prosecuted for the theft of funds for elderly and others in need. "This person is guilty of economic crimes." She points out that this man is a former expert of the U.N. Permanent Forum.

Apache Stronghold Wendsler Nosie 'Save the Earth from Destruction for Profit'

Apache Stronghold Wendsler Nosie 'Save the Earth from Destruction for Profit'

Statement from Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr., Censored News, April 22, 2026

Today, we continue our struggle to save Oak Flat. Through all our past visits to court, we have learned the reach of capitalism and its influence on the efforts to save the earth from destruction for profit, has reached the worry of our judges, who are the ultimate influencers of fair laws for all people and for the earth itself.

We, thank all those who have supported us to save Oak Flat. This struggle touches you and everyone with issues that go beyond just religion. Resolution Copper and the U.S. government have pushed making money and have influenced all to believe they are working in the best interests of all U.S. citizens. It began with efforts to bypass U.S. laws using the plenary powers of the senate, discounting U.S. treaty obligations, devaluing copper on exchange value and pushing all to believe the destruction of Oak Flat was because of an urgent need of American people. These actions validated that you could write anything on a piece of paper as long as you can keep it still. Today, on Earth Day, we pray the District Court will hear our case to right this wrong.

Thank you to all Apache people, all tribes, all religions, and all faith leaders who support Native American religious rights, all organizations including the National Congress of American Indians, the Intertribal Association of Arizona, the Advisory Council of Historic Preservation, all the supporting labor unions and indigenous groups, etc., those who are on the right side of justice.

We ask all to light a candle in prayer for this court case filed today. On Earth Day, although every second of all our days rely on Mother Earth daily for our existence.

Respectfully,

Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr., Ph.D.
Founder of the Apache Stronghold
Former Chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe

Coalition demands federal court reverse illegal transfer of sacred site to Chinese-owned mining giant


By Becket Fund, Censored News, April 22, 2026

Media Contact Ryan Colby media@becketfund.org


WASHINGTON – A coalition of Western Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies filed an updated lawsuit in federal district court today seeking to halt the planned destruction of Oak Flat, an invaluable Native American sacred site, by a Chinese-owned mining giant.

In Apache Stronghold v. United States, Apache Stronghold is challenging the government’s recent decision to give Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, a Chinese-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive two-mile-wide, 1,100-foot-deep crater that would end essential Apache religious practices forever. (Watch this short video to learn more.)

“We will never stop fighting,” said Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. of Apache Stronghold. “This is a struggle for the soul of our people. Oak Flat is where generations of Native peoples have come to connect with the Creator and Mother Earth. We pray the court reverses this illegal land grab so we can continue those time-honored traditions.”

Epstein's Rolodex, the short list of his contacts, is among his final emails.

Before being arrested on his flight arrival in New York, Epstein sent a media man a list of his prime targets and friends.

On this short list, among the so-called royalty, and former presidents of world governments, was Bill Richardson's name. It shows that Richardson wasn't just an e-mail buddy, he was a prime player in Epstein's world.

Gary Farmer, actor and musician, tells Bioneers, “American society has never been able to overcome the paternal view that leads the nation. I often wonder in my senior years what kind of world we could have lived in if the national builders of the American empire had accepted Indigenous people as equals.”

Farmer describes how the Haudenosaunee shared their foods and methodologies of the natural world to survive -- instead of manipulating the mineral resources for profit.

Today, Robert Free shares his photos from "Revolution from the Heart of Nature," Bioneers 2026. Robert was on the Trail of Broken Treaties, at the takeover of the BIA building in Washington, and at the Occupation of Wounded Knee. At the Occupation of Alcatraz, Robert's teepee was a monument to the struggle. Robert said, "In the early days the Sierra Club and environmental organizations didn't want input from Indigenous Peoples, in regards to national parks and monuments." Today, this is changing.

During Bioneers annual conference in Berkeley, Indigenous youths shared their struggles, from the Eastern Cherokee to the Klamath on the west coast, to Hawaii, as Native youths reclaim their waters and rivers, and rise to defend the natural world.

But we will never stop fighting to protect Oak Flat and each place that is sacred to our people. And we are still fighting—in the courts, in Congress, and, most importantly, spiritually.

Epstein's Associates were on the Navajo Nation

Epstein's Associates were on the Navajo Nation

(Above) These two men were both on the Navajo Nation, and both have resigned after their connections with Epstein were exposed. Miroslav Lajčák, Slovakian, was President of the U.N. General Assembly when he was in Monument Valley and told Epstein of his travel plans there. His emails with Epstein are lewd discussions about available women. Joi Ito, Japanese American, told Epstein that he was on the Navajo Nation. Joi was director of MIT Media Lab and funded by Epstein. MIT carried out a health screening of preschoolers on the western Navajo Nation after Joi was there, according to Censored News research.

Newly released Epstein Files Reveal Epstein Associates on the Navajo Nation, and E-mails of Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson

By Brenda Norrell, (c) Censored News, Feb. 20, 2026 Updated March 9, 2026

Update: The U.S. removed 2,000 of Joi Ito's emails, which now number 8,000.

The newly released Epstein files reveal that Jeffrey Epstein's associates were on the Navajo Nation and that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson kept Epstein informed of his dealings with Navajo President Ben Shelly.

The Epstein files reveal two of Epstein's associates were on the Navajo Nation and told Epstein of their plans after he was convicted of sex crimes in 2008. The President of the United Nations General Assembly, Slovakian, shared his travel plans with Epstein to go to Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation.

Another of Epstein's associates, Joi Ito, headed up the tech media of MIT and told Epstein he was on the Navajo Nation.

The year after Joi was on the Navajo Nation, MIT carried out screening of preschool children on the western portion of the Navajo Nation in Shonto, Tuba City and Monument Valley, a disturbing fact coming after the release of the Epstein Files.

Further, an unverified email claims that a Navajo held the key to all of Epstein's vaults. Those vaults contained the photos and videos of the sexual abuse of children were reportedly used to blackmail the leaders of the world as a method of control.

Following the release of more than 2 million of Epstein Files, Censored News is now researching these files for ties to the Navajo Nation and Indian country.

The Epstein e-mails reveal his circle of friends. There is Kathy Ruemmler, President Obama's legal counsel when the first permits were issued for the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota in the spring of 2014.

New Mexico Gov. Richardson's name appears nearly 1,000 times, showing he was at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, and island properties. Richardson kept Epstein advised of negotiations with Navajo President Ben Shelly. Richardson is accused as an abuser.

It comes as no surprise that Customs and Border Patrol agents were easily bribed with trinkets and gifts that Epstein gave them, and looked the other way when the island trafficking flights arrived at his home.

Trees at Sand Creek Massacre. Longest Walk 2 Northern Route Photo by Brenda Norrell

The history of the Smithsonian Institution, like the history taught in US classrooms, is largely one of deception and fiction

The Smithsonian exploits Native American culture and covers up its history of grave robbing and paying bounty hunters for Native skulls -- while refusing to return Native American remains. Indian country media is part of the cover-up with its public relations spin promoting the Smithsonian.

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, March 16, 2011

The Smithsonian's dark history includes the collection of American Indian brains for a racist experiment that claimed to reveal the relationship between race and intelligence. Brains were collected for bounty.

One of the massacres where this sinister collection of skulls was carried out was at Sand Creek in Colorado, a brutal massacre where fleeing Cheyenne and Arapaho women and children were murdered in 1864. The following article is republished, so the facts will not be forgotten, with a special thank you to the late Pawnee professor James Riding In who provided much of the information.

After the publication of this article, I wrote the Smithsonian and asked if it was true that more than 10,000 Indian skulls remained at the Smithsonian. There was no response.

Dark Dollars: Epstein and The Slippery Slope of Non-Profits: Epstein's contacts in Phoenix and Tucson

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, March 1, 2026

Jeffrey Epstein's funding for Arizona's largest universities, funneled through non-profits, reveals the slippery slope of non-profits, academia and the media. The non-profit money flow reveals how Epstein, as a sex offender, hid his donations to colleges. These were donations to buy access and power, while promoting genetics, cyber currency, and A.I., artificial intelligence.

Before he was sent to prison, Epstein supported projects at Arizona State University in the Phoenix Valley, and was present at an ASU event. Meanwhile, in Tucson, Noam Chomsky, relied on Epstein for advice on financial matters, and met with Epstein.

In Epstein's world, the targets were from every arena, from Hollywood producers, to the head of the United Nations and academia. In Epstein's world, sex trafficking was both an industry and insurance for blackmail. Girls and women were disposables in a world of horror.

By Louis Karonhiaktajeh Hall of April 1989

Reprinted on Feb, 18, 2026 by Mohawk Nation News

of Kahnawake Mohawk territory, Feb. 18. 2026

It grows upon us that the Bering Strait theory, once a tongue and cheek propaganda to make the Indians think that they too are aliens in their own land, has caught on as Gospel truth. The whole business supports the belief that anything unprovable if said enough times, will become absolute gospel truth. What started as an attempt by the wwhite man to legitimize the robbery of the land of America from its rightful owners, the natives of America, has been relegated to holy bigotry.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem told Jeffrey Epstein he was traveling with his Irish girlfriend, and his cook, to Port Rupert in B.C., to cook for First Nations, so he can use their lands on Port Rupert for his shipping port operations.

Sulayem has now resigned as head of DP World, based in Dubai, after his years of friendship, and lewd e-mails about women sent to Epstein, were made public.

Sulayem wrote Epstein:

"I am travelling with my Irish girlfriend I have also Hadi and my cook because I will be meeting the chiefs of First Nation (Canadian Indian tribe) where they will cook for me and I need to cook for them and once we eat together we become friends and will facilitate my company to use their lands for my port operations in Prince Rupert Canada."

"I will also travel to St. John New Brunswick East coast of Canada. I can visit you in October as I am traveling to the Dominican Republic again so let me know which is more convenient so I can plan with my pilots," Sulayem said.

"We are planning to cook the 20 hours goat," Sulayem told Epstein in the e-mail about plans for Port Rupert on June 4, 2016.

Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Kennedy, Jr., were on a fossil-hunting trip on Pine Ridge, as shown in the documents just released in the Epstein case by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Epstein files also reveal former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson at the Epstein ranch in New Mexico.

On the fossil hunting trip on Pine Ridge, Epstein, Kennedy and others arrived in Rapid City, South Dakota. The exact location of the fossil hunting on Pine Ridge is not revealed.

However, in the resistance to dinosaur hunters, Lakotas' Tokala Society maintained a resistance camp on the Stronghold in the Badlands in 2003 to protect the Ceremonial area from dinosaur hunters who were planning to excavate the sacred ground. The Stronghold is where the people fled for Ceremony after the Massacre at Wounded Knee.
