First Nations in Epstein Files: Dubai's Shipping Head Cooked for First Nations to Gain Access for Prince Rupert Port

By Brenda Norrell, (c) Censored News, Feb. 17, 2026

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.

The Northern View reported on Sulayem's meeting with the First Nations on June 9, 2016.

"DP World chairman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem landed in Prince Rupert on Tuesday as part of his tour of the company’s installations and holdings around the globe.

"Bin Sulayem spent much of Wednesday involved in a number of meetings with the Prince Rupert Port Authority, DP World Prince Rupert, representatives from Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams as well as the City of Prince Rupert and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union," Northern View reported.

“Not only were there meetings but there was also a cultural exchange, which took place at Fairview Terminal at 2 p.m. on Wednesday involving coast Tsimshian dancers performing a welcome dance and a traditional meal from Dubai that was served for the participants in the cultural exchange,” said Michael Gurney, the manager of corporate communications for the Prince Rupert Port Authority. 

“During the meeting, (Bin Sulayem) outlined DP World operations both around the world and in Prince Rupert as it relates to Fairview Terminal and potential expansion,” Shaun Thomas, communications coordinator for the Metlakatla First Nation, said.

Epstein's and Sulayem's E-mails

During the years of e-mails, Epstein e-mailed Sulayem in 2005, "Dear sultan Jeffrey is wondering what time you would like your massage today in new york." 

Epstein asks Sulayem, "Are you going to the Clinton Forum? I see that the Secretary General is scheduled to attend. If so, we can go to my island after the forum."

Sulayem then discusses Sulayem's plan to visit Epstein's island.

Epstein also connected Sulayem to Joi Ito, director of MIT Media Labs who was later on the Navajo Nation.

Epstein tells Joi Ito, "sultan has amazing energy, sleeps little. has many viagra type connoctions. china, india, etc."

The Epstein Files are being described as an "autopsy" of world events and business dealings. The files reveal the trafficking of girls, alarming facts while Indigenous Peoples are missing and murdered. 

The Sultan's e-mails with Epstein discuss girls and women, training of a private masseuse and a meeting with Prince Andrew.

Sulayem tells Epstein he will visit him at his home in the Virgin Islands.

Epstein responds with a question as to whether to invite 'Ehud,' Israel's former Prime Minister Ehud Barak. 

Censored News discovered the emails regarding the First Nations and the port while reading the new releases of the Epstein Files.

Epstein's e-mails are further revealed by Wikipedia.

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was named as a co-conspirator in the child sex trafficking ring led by Jeffrey Epstein in the public release of the Epstein files in February 2026, however, he has not been criminally charged.^[1][2][3]

In emails with Epstein, Bin Sulayem shared his sexual experiences and appeared to send attachments of images with Epstein.[23] On 24 April 2009, Epstein sent him an email stating "where are you? are you ok I loved the torture video". 

In 2016, Great St. James was for sale. Epstein already owned Little St. James, but the owner of the larger island did not want to sell it to him, because he was a registered sex offender. To buy it in secret, Epstein created a limited liability company in bin Sulayem's name to make the $22.5 million purchase.[22][34]

According to a spokesperson from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), bin Sulayem's name appears in the documents more than 4,700 times.[29]

Although there are claims now that Epstein was an Israeli asset, it is unclear who his actual handlers were.

The State of New Mexico is now launching a probe of Epstein's Zorro Ranch, south of Santa Fe. The ranch was never searched. The Epstein Files say two foreign victims are buried there. Victims of Epstein described being abused there. Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was accused by a teen victim of being abused at the ranch. She also described abuse by Prince Andrew in London and elsewhere.

Epstein said he chose the location in New Mexico to be near Santa Fe, which would give him access to nuclear scientists at the Los Alamas Labs. Epstein says in an e-mail that he is at Los Alamos attending a conference.

Los Alamos Labs, north of Santa Fe in the heart of the Pueblos, is central in the making of the first atomic bomb.

Today, the state of New Mexico began its probe into Epstein's Zorro Ranch. The New Mexico Epstein Truth Commission said today it will issue subpoenas. The Commission also said it will seek testimony from victims who will be heard in private.

Epstein's e-mails reveal his pattern of inviting people to lunches and dinners, including Gov. Richardson, Woody Allen and his step-daughter that he married, Prince Andrew and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud.

The probes now focus on the hidden cameras at Epstein's ranch and islands, which recorded horrific abuse of children, and how the secret recordings were used as leverage to control world leaders, and assure outcomes.

Epstein Associate from MIT on the Navajo Nation

Joi Ito (Joichi Ito), Japanese-American, and former director of the MIT Media Lab, wrote to Epstein that he was on the Navajo Nation in 2015. Joi and MIT were funded by Epstein after his conviction for sex offenses, and MIT connected Epstein with Bitcoin. Joi was also involved in Epstein and non-profit funders at Arizona State University, which involved genetics.

Joi was on the Navajo Nation and wrote Epstein on May 21, 2015:

"And don't ask me what I'm doing in Navajo Nation." Joi's e-mails to Epstein said Joi was visiting "Navajo Indians." Joi's e-mails also discuss his Bitcoin projects.

Censored News research reveals that MIT hosted a program involving Navajo preschoolers the following year, in 2016.

It is a disturbing fact which comes after the Epstein Files reveal horrific abuse and torture of young children on Epstein's properties.

On the Navajo Nation, Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology carried out health screening clinics for preschoolers in Shonto, Tuba City, and Kayenta, on the western portion of the Navajo Nation in the summer of 2016. 

The health screenings were at the Navajo Nation Head Start and included taking blood samples from the preschoolers. Some of the MIT students were studying genomics and DNA.  link

Buddhist Monk Tenzin, who works at MIT, with Dalai Lama. 

Joi Ito also wrote Epstein and sent Epstein an invitation to a presentation with a disciple of the Dalai Lama. Both Ito and the Dalai Lama's close associate worked at MIT. The connection with the Dalai Lama's disciple Tenzin, a Buddhist Monk, was viewed as a way of connecting with the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama's office said in a statement, “We can unequivocally confirm that His Holiness has never met Jeffrey Epstein or authorized any meeting or interaction with him by anyone on his Holiness’ behalf."

Joi Ito resigned after his connection with Epstein was revealed. Epstein funded Joi, and they discussed Bitcoin and AI, which Joi promoted.

Tenzin is the founding director and CEO of The Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT. Tenzin link

Slovakian and President of U.N. General Assembly at Monument Valley

Epstein received the travel plans of his associate Miroslav Lajčák, Slovakian and President of the U.S. General Assembly from 2017 -- 2018. Epstein received his plans to be at Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation, during a trip on July 22 -- 26, in 2018.

Lajčák stayed in Mexican Hat in Utah, and then took a Navajo-guided tour of Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation, and afterwards went to Lake Powell and Antelope Canyon, the travel plan shows.

Lajčák resigned his position as an advisor to Slovakia's head of national security on Jan. 31, 2026, after the Epstein documents revealed his messages with Epstein about available girls, and diplomacy.

The disturbing relationship between the Epstein and Miroslav Lajčák, comes after many years of the U.N. ignoring the desperate testimony of Indigenous women.

In recent testimony, Indigenous women in Peru asked the U.N. for help, as the women and children defending their land from mining were being shot from Army helicopters. The U.N. took no action to help them.

In the Epstein files, Miroslav Lajčák, UN President of the General Assembly that 2017 -- 2018, shared his travel plans with Epstein to be at Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation.

Epstein's emails show he was arranging dinners with Miroslav Lajčák, while he headed the U.N. General Assembly. The dinner plans at Epstein's home in New York included the two and Israel's former prime minister Ehud Barak. Epstein also arranged dinners with the U.N. head at his home with Woody Allen, and Soon Yi, Woody's step daughter that Woody married.

In a text exchange from October 2018 - when Lajčák was serving as Slovakia's foreign minister - Lajčák and Epstein could be seen lightheartedly discussing women and a forthcoming meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, reports BBC.

After Epstein sent an image, which cannot be seen in the record, Lajčák replies: "Why don't you invite me for these games? I would take the 'MI' girl."

"Who wouldn't," Epstein texts back. "You can have them both, I am not possessive. And their sisters."

Later on in the conversation, Epstein can be seen imploring Lajčák to ask Lavrov to get him a t-shirt featuring Lavrov and Viltaly Churkin, a Russian ambassador to the UN who had died the previous year.

"You get the tee shirt. Then you get the girls," Epstein writes, to which Lajčák agrees.

Epstein then says: "No kidding their sisters are both swimming in the pool."

"That's not fair!" Lajčák responds.

"Though they're all under 30. So. Probably too young for you," Epstein adds. "Or should I say under 50."

"Don't be mean," Lajčák replies. "You don't know me in action."

In an email to Epstein in November 2017, Lajčák asks Epstein to help a female film producer get her movie on the shortlist for that year's Oscars.

Unverified Claim: 'Navajo Has Keys to Epstein Vault'

In the Epstein Files, a person claiming to be Maxwell Ghislaine's sister wrote:

"My name is . Ghislane is my older sister. The man in the photographs from the Navajo Nation was the code keeper got the vault accessable only by a general on an island in Akhail Beach India. He has the keys to all the rooms of Epstein's video tapes."

Ghislaine Maxwell, British, was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with the deceased American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In 2022, she was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment in the United States. 

In other Epstein files, Epstein requested an "Indian person" to explain the petroglyphs on his Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico.

Today's updates from the Epstein Files by Censored News, Feb. 16, 2026.

The Hyatt chairman resigned today because of his relationship with Epstein, as revealed in the Epstein files. Hyatt operates the hotel at Santa Ana Pueblo's casino in northern New Mexico, and Hyatt is in negotiations with a Rancheria in northern California for a hotel.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida was in negotiations with Epstein to sell him a helicopter, but it appears the Seminoles took the helicopter off the market. Epstein used helicopters to transport high profile people to his islands and properties.

Joi Ito, director of MIT Media Lab, who wrote to Epstein about being on the Navajo Nation, also sent Epstein an invitation to a presentation with a disciple of the Dalai Lama. Both Ito and the Dalai Lama's disciple worked at MIT. The connection with the Dalai Lama's disciple Tenzin, a close associate of the Dalai Lama, was viewed as a way of connecting with the Dalai Lama, which appears not to have happened.

Joi Ito resigned after his connection with Epstein was revealed. Epstein funded Joi, and they discussed Bitcoin and AI in their messages, which Joi was involved with promoting.

United Nations Fails to Include Own Involvement

U.N. experts state Epstein's role in exploiting and trafficking, and crimes against humanity -- but do not mention the U.N.'s own involvement with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The President of the U.N. General Assembly, Miroslav Lajčák, who was on the Navajo Nation, made lewd remarks about available women with Epstein, as revealed in the Epstein Files. Lajčák has resigned his current national security position in Slovakia.

Ghislaine spoke before the U.N. many times promoting her non-profit, the TerraMar Project, a false front for saving the oceans. Ghislaine is now in prison and a convicted child sex offender.

Ghislaine Maxwell spoke before the United Nations more than once in connection with her nonprofit organization, the TerraMar Project. On June 25, 2013, she spoke at the UN Headquarters in New York, alongside Ambassador Stuart Beck of Palau.

By the United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner

GENEVA – The so-called ‘Epstein Files’ contain disturbing and credible evidence of systematic and large-scale sexual abuse, trafficking and exploitation of women and girls, UN experts* said today.

According to the experts, these acts could amount to sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance, torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, and femicide.

“These crimes were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption, extreme misogyny, and the commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls from different parts of the world,” the experts said.

“The ‘Epstein Files’, which are suggestive of the existence of a global criminal enterprise have shocked the conscience of humanity and raised terrifying implications of the level of impunity for such crimes.”

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said.

Under international criminal law, crimes against humanity occur when acts such as sexual slavery, rape, enforced prostitution, trafficking, persecution, torture, or murder are committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population with, with knowledge of the attack. The experts warned the components reported patterns may meet this threshold and these crimes must be prosecuted in all competent national and international courts.

Background from news articles:

Survivor: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson

Virginia Giuffre accused former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson of sexual abuse in connection with Jeffrey Epstein in a deposition given in 2016.The specific accusation came during Giuffre's May 3, 2016, deposition as part of her defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell (filed in 2015 and settled in 2017). In the testimony, she alleged that Maxwell directed her to have sex with Richardson (by instructing her to give him a "massage") while she was underage and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell in the early 2000s. She mentioned being "sent to" New Mexico for this purpose but could not recall exact dates or locations precisely.
