Wendsler Nosie, Tracker of Evil at Santa Fe Plaza



Wendsler Nosie, Tracker of Evil at the Santa Fe Plaza

Frances Madeson
Special to Censored News

This interview was conducted on Saturday, September 9, 2017
San Carlos Apache activist Wendsler Nosie came to Santa Fe to participate in the third annual street protest against the public Entrada costume pageant on September 8, which depicts Spanish Conquistadores reconquering the city 12 years after being forcibly expelled during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. When Censored News caught up with Mr. Nosie, evil was on his mind.

What happened yesterday in the plaza?

I felt the unrest feeling, and I didn't know why I was feeling that way. It was cold, something was wrong with that place. And then I was told about the 70 executions of Pueblo people ordered by Don Diego de Vargas in 1693. There was a wrong that occurred there, and it has to be healed. The true history has to be told, and that place should be treated like a cemetery, a memorial, where the losses are respected.

EDGEMONT, South Dakota -- The Seismic Testing Project is at work everyday for another month. Every day is another day of attack to the Sacred Black Hills and Wind Cave​ Structures below, which have been mapped at 300 miles.
The permit process is illegal because none of the tribes were notified.

The same Cultural Relevance attack is holding, Dewey Burdock Uranium project is in the same area of Edgemont, South Dakota.

As for Crow Butte Uranium Expansion, our Oglala Sioux Tribal Attorney Steve Gun did not want to pursue anything because he said there are no grounds, because the process is already done
So we are looking for any legal help.

Tonia Stands said, "They never mentioned any Nations connected to the Sacred Black Hills. National Forest Service ignores us all. Instead they go to private archaelogical consultants and SHPO (State Historic Preservation Officer) plus the District Ranger, then sign off on our Indigenous Rights.
We need all Warriors, Land Defenders, Sacred Site Protectors, Akicita, Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Oyate to come and join us in a opposition against this illegal Seismic Testing Project."

Stop Energy Transfer Partners National Campaign Rally at Pipeline Headquarters in Dallas

DALLAS -- On Friday Sept 8, 2017 members of the Society of Native Nations, an indigenous led, non-profit organization in Texas, organized a rally at Energy Transfer Partners in Dallas, Texas.
This event was created to stand in solidarity with the national campaign to Stop ETP, and events that were held on Sept 9, 2017, across the US.
Members of the Indigenous Environmental Network and representatives from other pipeline resistance that Energy Transfer Partners is building, came to show their support as well.
Native and Non Native communities came together to stand in solidarity against Energy Transfer Partners and all fossil fuel companies, to demand accountability to the destruction of our Mother Earth and their contribution to climate change.
We must make the changes necessary in order to protect the future by prioritizing and protecting the sacred Mother Earth, sacred land, sacred air, and sacred water now before it's too late.

Kelcy Warren's Energy Transfer Partners is owner of Dakota Access Pipeline. The crude oil now threatens the Missouri River and the drinking water of millions. The resistance to the pipeline at Standing Rock revealed thousands taking a prayerful stand against the pipeline, even though they were subjected to excessive force and brutality by police. Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and their allies, were shot with rubber bullets and projectiles, gassed with tear gas, and jailed in dog kennels by Morton County, North Dakota, Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, with numbers written on their arm as was done by the Nazis.
