Indigenous Women Protecting Earth, Rights 
and Communities - New York City

April 26th, 2017 from 1:00-4:00 pm
United Nations Church Center - 777 United Nations Plaza #8g, New York City, NY

 
Indigenous women around the world are impacted first and worst by the effects of environmental destruction and a rapidly changing climate - their disproportionate vulnerability the result of a dangerous intersection of colonialism, racism, extractive economies and patriarchy. However despite all odds and against great challenges, it is these very same Indigenous women who are rising up, challenging the status quo, holding a vision, and taking action to build the vital solutions needed for a just and livable future for everyone. 

Join the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network and frontline Indigenous women leaders from countries around the world, as we gather to share stories, concerns, struggles and plans of action for change. Included in the event discussion will be resistance efforts from Standing Rock to the Amazon; Indigenous rights and frontline communities; the tenth anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; and women's leadership and calls for action within a climate justice framework. 

This public event will be held in parallel to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues happening in New York at this time, with the expressed purpose of ensuring that the vital voices of Indigenous women leaders are heard by the public, media and government representatives during the formal UN processes. We are thrilled to be presenting this event with the collaboration of MADRE and ClimateMama.

  • Casey Camp Horinek (Ponca Peoples; Ponca Nation Council Woman, WECAN Advisory Council Member, USA)
  • Kandi Mossett (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Peoples; Indigenous Environmental Network, USA)

Join the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network for 'Women Leading Solutions on the Frontlines of Climate Change - D.C.', a dynamic gathering with worldwide women leaders joined in solidarity to speak out against environmental and social injustice, draw attention to root causes of the climate crisis, and present the diverse array of visions and strategies with which they are working to shape a healthy and equitable world. 

This event is organized with the conviction that real forward movement towards climate justice depends on the full and equal participation of women in all stages of decision making and implementation, and that real change will come from women mobilizing and taking action at the local, national, and international level. Women have always been on the frontlines, now it is time for them to be at the forefront. 

Included in topic discussions will be resistance efforts from Standing Rock to the Amazon; Indigenous rights, environmental racism, and frontline communities; the intersection of gender and environment; and women's leadership and calls for action within a climate justice framework. We are thrilled to be presenting this event with the partnership of Impact Hub D.C.

Mohawk Nation News 'Serve and Protect Who?'


SERVE and PROTECT WHO?


Please post & distribute.
MNN. MAR. 30, 2017. Threats that World War 3 is coming abound in MSM, to keep everybody in fear. The US economy is breaking down. Police forces have all been militarized with “to serve and protect” on their cars. They dash to protect the elite and corporations, not the public, as seen at Standing Rock.
Trump comes from a business background, which corrupts differently from the politicians. He steals millions. They steal billions. They all have in common that whoever makes the most money makes the rules. “Money talks and bullshit walks”.
Trump is supposed to be commander-in-chief of the US armed forces. When Obama gave the order to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline construction at Standing Rock for further investigation, the corporation that controls the military and police forces ignored the presidential order. 
Trump promised to drain the swamp of corruption in Washington DC. He is now the swamp master covered in swamp mites. He is an actor following the script given to him by the puppet masters.
The reality is that the White House is controlled by the corporation through the military. The Federal Reserve prints the money and controls the interest rates. The Federal Reserve could turn his billions into worthless pieces of paper overnight and he could do nothing about it. That is the real swamp that needs to be drained.

ROTIKSTENHA KNOW THE PATH TO PEACE.

Don’t believe anything that comes out of the corporation. They want ownership of the world and everything in it.
This billionaire boys clubs writes and subverts all the countries’ histories. They believe, “He who controls the past, controls the future”. They put themselves above everyone else which shows how advanced the “owistah” [money] disease infects their minds.
The corporation continues on its destructive path trying to destroy mother earth. As they say, “Criminals come with a mask, a badge, a smile and a wave”.
As the Man in Black sings: “You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, sooner or later, god’ll cut you down. Tellthat long tongued liar, go and tell that midnight rider, tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter, tell them god’s gonna cut them down”.

Mohawk Nation News 'Line Up Your Prayers'

LINE UP YOUR PRAYERS


Please post & distribute.
MNN. Mar. 29, 2017. The United States was so happy when everybody prayed to stop the DAPL pipeline at Standing Rock.
In 1974 American Indian movement became famous throughout the world for its stand on corruption.
ROTISKENRAKETE. 
The Red Power movement started in Minneapolis in early 1970s when onkwe’hon:weh men started voluntarily patrolling the streets, fulfilling their responsibility to keep their people safe. This evolved into the American Indian Movement AIM.
Depravity and killings at Pine Ridge reached epic proportions. AIM was called in by the traditional people. AIM invited their allies and supporters. Then one of the men was killed by a government agent. The US and the corporations pushed for Pine Ridge Tribal CEO Bill Wilson and the Council to kick AIM out for exposing the depravity and corruption.
AIM was weakened because saboteurs infiltrated the movement. Doug Durham, close to the leaders, was an FBI agent.
Ward Churchill wrote “Agents of Repression” on how the US infiltrated and destroyed AIM, the Blacks and anyone trying to rightfully defend themselves.
Churchill was drummed out of University of Colorado and his reputation was slandered for criticizing the official US government story about the detonation of the Twin Towers in 2011.
Today our men wear the symbols of resistance. Some are even acting like the white man by killing, assaulting and robbing our own people.
Once again in 2016 the allies and supporters were invited to Standing Rock to stop the pipeline. Over 10,000 arrived.
People throughout the world became aware of the perils facing the Lakota. Again the tribal council at Standing Rock of the US government kicked out all the supporters.
With all this awareness, what did the water protectors protect? Prayers did not change anything. They wanted praise for something they did not do. Some wanted photo ops for being there.
Pipelines are being built. More prayers are being lined up. The earth is not being protected.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sing about “Stardust”: “Well I came upon a child of god. He was walking along the road. And I asked him, ”Tell me where you are going?” And this he told me, “I’m going down to Yasgur’s Farm. Gonna join in a rock and roll band. Got to get back to the land and set my soul free. We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon, and we got to get ourselves back to the garden.”
