LUMMI NATION, Washington -- The Lummi Nation pulled out of the controversial AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine study this week, after a volunteer in the trial became ill with a neurological disorder.

Lawrence Solomon, Chairman of the Lummi Indian Business Council said, “We will continue to look for ways to protect our people from this virus. But after consultation with the Lummi Public Health Department, it was clear that the AstraZeneca vaccine trial was not a good fit.”

Johns Hopkins University researchers on the Navajo Nation responded in general to our questions but has not responded to the most important questions regarding the past 40 years of vaccine experiments on Navajos and White Mountain Apache. We have asked a second time: "Have any Navajos or Apaches become sick or died as a result of Johns Hopkins experimental medicines or treatments? (2) Are blood and DNA of Navajo or Apache stored, how are they used, and who has access to these?"

WINDOW ROCK, Arizona -- Johns Hopkins University researchers have been carrying out medical research on Navajos on the Navajo Nation for 40 years. During those years, very little has been made public about the vaccine and medical research which was carried out in Indian Health Service Hospitals on the Navajo Nation.

Now, Johns Hopkins medical researchers are leading the controversial coronavirus vaccine experiments on Navajos and the Navajo government is pushing the vaccine experiments.

A Nation in Denial

The need for the rewriting of history books has never been more obvious, as the true history of this land is revealed. The current politicians are like a homeopathic cure -- a little poison to cure the disease of racism and oppression.

It is a disease rooted in the genocide and slavery which this nation of deception was built on. Many are too young to remember the oppression and manipulation by the border town media 40 years ago, when Native people were often tortured and murdered in the border towns of Rapid City, South Dakota, Farmington and Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff, Arizona and elsewhere.

The censorship and media spin continue today, as does the murder of the innocents.

It is a nation in denial. 

Notes: The need for authentic history books:

This column serves as an encouragement to Native and African American authors to write the true histories, revealing the truth of the United States history of the genocide of Native Americans and kidnapping and slavery of African Americans, as well as the current government-encouraged racism and terror.

Parents, home schools and independent schools will have these books for future generations, regardless of the decisions by public schools.

There is a need for more authentic history books written for preschool through high school, books that are written in common language.

'Rethinking Columbus' is a great collection that was censored by Tucson schools. The authors in the blacklisted book include Buffy Sainte Marie, Cree, and Rosalie Little Thunder, Lakota. The books were loaded up and removed from classrooms. It took months, but I was able to locate a couple copies in libraries and book stores.

Rosalie Little Thunder's letter describes the massacre of buffalo at Yellowstone National Park. It includes a personal family story of massacre and survival and her arrest at Yellowstone. 
Above all, Little Thunder's letter describes the significance of the slaughter of buffalo. 

Buffy Sainte Marie was among those censored when Tucson schools blacklisted "Rethinking Columbus." This is the song by the same name:  https://youtu.be/bTqV1pnQoos

Buffy writes:

And yet where in your history books is the tale
Of the genocide basic to this country's birth?
Of the preachers who lied? And the people who died?
How a nation of patriots returned to their earth?
Where does it tell of the starvation hell?
As the children were herded, and raped and converted?
And how do we rescue the missing and murdered?
My country 'tis of thy people, you're dying

Read complete lyrics.

Buffy Sainte Marie was blacklisted and driven out of the music industry in the United States by Presidents Johnson and Reagan.
