Emergency Gwich'in Gathering: Stand with Gwich'in to Protect the Arctic and Caribou

Statement from the Emergency Gwich’in Gathering in Vashraii K’oo (Arctic Village): We are calling upon our friends and allies to continue to stand with the Gwich’in in the fight to protect the Arctic Refuge from seismic testing and oil and gas development. It is more important now than ever that we work together to protect the sacred. Don’t forget that your voice matters — use it to educate people around you, to contact your elected leaders, and to take action whenever you have the chance.

Mahsi for standing with us!!!


The Birth of the Environmental Justice Movement, Dine' CARE, Dilkon, Navajo Nation, 1990



A tribute to those who came together on the Navajo Nation in 1990 and created the solidarity movement to protect the water, air and land, today's environmental justice movement. They came from the fishing rights struggle in the northwest, and the Seminoles came from Florida. Hopi Thomas Banyacya was there, and Jim Main from Gros Ventre in Montana, they came from Mohawk lands, and the border, and it was a beginning. They came from near and far -- Havasupai, Zuni Pueblo and Pine Ridge, and gave birth to the movement that has spanned the past 35 years.

Mohawk Nation News 'Knock, Knock, Canada!"


KNOCK, KNOCK, CANADA!

MNN. Sept. 6, 2025. Intruding into our homeland is an “act of war”. Using our power and authority against these land thieves to protect our land and people is a revolutionary act! The Atikamekw are one of the Indigenous people in Canada whose historic territory  is the  great white north. We are family!

Malcolm X, an African American revolutionary during the civil rights movement in the 1960s, said: “When you are fighting for your land, it is a revolution. All wars from day one have been over land. The court will take your land violently”, which is what the capitalist bloodsuckers did on turtle island. In Kanehsatake in 1990 our people stood up and said “No”!  All our land has been taken violently and physically. The only thing they fear are the ‘warriors’ of Ohsweken, Tyendinaga, Akwesasne, Kahnawake, Ganiengeh and all our brother and sisters on turtle island. He said, “We have to eradicate white thinking”.

Mohawk Nation News 'Lies For Profit'

LIES FOR PROFIT

https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2025/09/06/lies-for-profit/

MNN. The European illegal invaders want to protect themselves from what’s coming for their crime of genocide and other crimes against the indigenous of onowarekeh turtle island. They are facing a toxic Orwellian environment, where they voted for a situation that George Orwell described as being destructive to the welfare of what was thought to be a free and open society. 
We now know it is not. This regime is in fact The Western Roman Empire which was is incorporated in 902 A.D. and headquartered in the Vatican. They are the Friars of the Empire of Liars, and we require some dire solutions for the problems they’ve created. The want power but the truth stands in their way. All politicians are better liars the longer they stay in politics. Christmas is the biggest lie of the corporations called America and Canada. It destroys families and households. Today almost everybody in the world is enslaved by the corporate control grid placed involuntarily over our heads.
