INDIAN DAY SCHOOL GENOCIDE CONTINUES Audio & PDF | Mohawk Nation News

AOC024 MNN. APRIL 21, 2021. Somebody is making money on this class action suit and it isn’t us. Gowling WLG and Deloitte are taking $55 million and $44 million respectively off the top of the settlement and giving as little as possible to the native victims. It is all our funds. Their windfall is based on the torture and debasement of indigenous children by the agents of the corporation of the government of Canada.



THESE LAWYERS ARE GOING TO JAIL FOR THEIR CRIMES AND LEAVING TURTLE ISLAND FOR GOOD.

Standing Rock water protector Steve Martinez has been released after more than 60 days behind bars for refusing to give testimony to a federal grand jury. Martinez was summoned as a witness in the case of Sophia Wilansky, a water protector whose arm was severely wounded during a police crackdown on anti-pipeline protests in 2016. Prosecutors were attempting to shift blame for Wilansky’s injuries from law enforcement to water protectors. The campaign to free Steve Martinez blasted the use of grand juries as a “divisive and cruel tool of repression.”

Journalism and the NO DAPL Movement: On Being Present and Censorship

Censored News

Journalism. There is no substitute for being present. Thanks to Govinda Dalton, Censored News was able to provide live coverage of tribal police creating a roadblock to prevent Lakota women and children on the NO DAPL Walk from entering the tribal compound of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation in New Town, North Dakota.

The solidarity walkers were just over 20 Lakotas, mostly women, and young children, from Standing Rock and Cheyenne River, along with local tribal members on April 8.

PAGE, Arizona – Loren Reed, a 26-year-old Diné (Navajo) man, is set for trial on May 4, 2021 for a trumped-up federal charge of "Threats to Damage and Destroy a Building by Means of Fire" after he engaged in a heated debate over Black Lives Matter protest tactics[1] in a private Facebook chat group created to organize a local police brutality protest.

Reed has been held in federal pretrial detention without bail for ten months after a prior high school acquaintance reported him to the police for a different satirical social media post about planning a protest or 'riot' at the courthouse that never actually happened.
