'Tohono O'odham Sacred Mountain Facing Demolishment' by Ophelia Rivas

By Ophelia Rivas, September 25, 2026

Our western sacred mountain is threatened by US-DHS border infrastructure development. Our long standing relative with its ceremonial footprints is facing desecration and demolishment for a backward deranged eurocentric ideology of security.

While destroying nature to build a foreign structure without regard to cultural and environmental consequences, this country builds their false sense of security.

This security from immigration is created by the same government to continue to rage authority and control beyond this southern border in their false sense of dominate economic wealth.

This mountain is less than a mile from our community Ali Jeg'k, (little clearing) of the
Gu Vo (big pond) district of the Tohono O'odham reservation.

Requesting your strong energy and morning offerings to protect ancient places.

US Military Surveillance After Federal Agents Take Control of Tohono O'odham Nation

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, September 23, 2026

The flight patterns of US military aircraft over the Tohono O'odham Nation leave questions unanswered.

The question is: With military surveillance from the air, and 10 spy towers built by Israel's Elbit Systems on tribal land -- why are so many migrants left to die on the Tohono O'odham Nation. Are the expensive surveillance systems failing, or is the United States involved in a crime against humanity.
