Sometimes we need to hear their voices, again.
Listen to the Indigenous Border Summit of the Americas on Tohono O'odham land 2007, and the voices of Kahentinetha, after the Mohawks saw the abuse of the US Border Patrol, spy towers, and cage for migrants on Tohono O'odham land at the border. 
Listen to Angie Ramon, O'odham, whose son was run over and killed by the US Border Patrol on O'odham land. Listen to Mike Wilson, Tohono O'odham, who has put out water for migrants and rescued migrant children for years, while being threatened by the tribal government. 
Listen to Jay Johnson from the Texas border who passed away in South America after this summit. Listen to Lenny Foster, Dine' and Professor Dr. Julian Kunnie. Listen to their voices and more. 
Thank you Govinda of Earthcycles for being there.

Secwepemc Ts’ka7 Warriors burn down Imperial Metals Ruddock Creek Mine Bridge

Secwepemc Ts’ka7 Warriors deactivate Imperial Metals Ruddock Creek mine road

International Statement, October 14, 2014
Censored News

With much discussion with Elders Councils and around Sacred fires and ceremonies the Secwepemc Ts’ka7 Warriors have acted out their collective responsibility and jurisdiction to and in the Ts’ka7 area by deactivating the Imperial Metals Ruddock Creek mine road.

Imperial Metals Corporation never asked for or received free, prior and informed consent to operate in Secwepemc Territory. The Imperial Metals Mount Polley mine disaster, in the area known as Yuct Ne Senxiymetkwe, the absolute destruction and devastation of our Territory has never been answered for.  No reparations have been made.   Instead Imperial Metals continues to force through another mine in our Territory while criminalizing the Klabona Keepers of the Tahltan Nation also exerting their jurisdictional and withholding consent from the same company.

Authored by the official Guerrero Truth Commission (Comverdad), the report will be presented to government officials at a session in the tense state capital of Chilpancingo.
