While the Navajo Nation Council focuses on new mining, Dine' volunteers like Bitahnii Wilson haul water to Dine' sick, elderly and isolated families with no water. It is very difficult to survive the coronavirus without water. 

Today Navajos protest during the spring session of the Navajo Council.

Dine'/Zuni Pueblo reporter Marley Shebala is live on Facebook at the protest outside the Council. Videos posted from this morning.

For too long, oil and gas companies have been allowed to waste the natural resources of tribal nations through the wasteful practice of routine venting and flaring methane, which costs tribes millions of dollars in tax revenue and royalties, pollutes our air and threatens our climate.

MNN. Apr. 16, 2022. Update by thahoketoteh, MNN court reporter. The mohawk mothers were ready to proceed without lawyers with the case on April 14, 2022. For various reasons the court meeting has been postponed to May 30, 2022. The mothers continue to monitor the entire Royal Victoria Project while the case is in court. All proposed renovations continue to be challenged by the the kahnistensera, the caretakers of the unceded land in question. No work is being carried out at this time.

INDIGENOUS WOMEN LEAD FIGHT FOR LAND 

On May 30 there will be a Calling of the Roll” and case management.  Then the kahnistensera can present their case.

The Attorney General of Quebec has been notified that the case has crucial constitutional and public interest importance to both Canada and Quebec and has joined the case, i.e. indigenous lands and crimes against humanity regarding the unmarked graves. Defendant SQI has appointed new lawyers.

The rotiskenraketeh [men’s fire] will follow their duty and will carry out the women’s bidding as per the kaianerekowa.

As Billie Holiday sings about something that’s being delayed: “I’ll be seeing you in old familiar places, that this heart of mine embraces. I’ll see you in the morning sun and when the night is through. I’ll be looking at the moon and I’ll be seeing you” [on May 30].

Journalism Takes a Hit -- While a New Brand of Carpetbaggers Emerge


The Intercept: Standing Rock series

Journalism Takes a Hit, While a New Brand of Carpetbaggers Emerge

Journalism took a hit this week.

Alleen Brown, who did the extremely difficult and precise work of exposing TigerSwan and more at Standing Rock, was laid off by The Intercept this week.

It takes a great deal of courage, perseverance, and knowledge to do this type of reporting.

Equally troubling is the fact that Energy Transfer, owner of the Dakota Access Pipeline, is fighting The Intercept in court to halt the release of 16,000 TigerSwan documents that North Dakota already has.
