"Disrobing Junipero Serra- Saint or Monster?"
Public welcome to discussion on Sainthood of Junipero Serra
And the real history of California missions
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., On Saturday May 30, 2015, In opposition of the Pope's plans to grant Serra sainthood and the Catholic church's continued failure to address the real story of the California missions, the Barbareno Chumash Tribal Council “'iyalmuwič” and The American Indian Movement of Southern California, have brought together some of the Native community's most notable academics and leaders to lead discussions in two thought provoking panels. The Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara is hosting this as a free event at 1535 Santa Barbara St. Santa Barbara, CA. 93101
The First panel begins at 9:30 a.m., with the topic of the International Ramifications of Canonization. The sainthood of Junipero Serra will have global repercussions. This issue affects the entire Western Hemisphere. This panel will expose the iconic California Mission systems, which has long been held by the Catholic church as a golden era- a unique storyline that created a myth of it's own. Subjects to include; The Doctrine of Discovery, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Human rights, religious, spiritual, environmental, economic and social justices issues of today. Panelists include:
- Facilitator- Marcus Lopez, Sr. Co-Chair of the Barbareno Chumash Tribal Council, “'iyalmuwič”;
- Elias Castillo, author, A Cross of Thorns, The Enslavement of California’s Indians by the Spanish Missions';
- -Valentin Lopez, Chairman, the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Costanoan/Ohlone Indians;
- Tia Oros Peters-Zuni, Executive Director of the 7th Generation Fund for Indigenous Development;
- Deana Dartt-Newton - Chumash, doctor of Anthropology;
- Roberta Cordero - Chumash Elder, Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation;
- Shannon Rivers, Akimel O'otham, former co-chair of the Global Indigenous Peoples -Caucus United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues;
- Kanyon Sayers-Roods, Costanoan Ohlone, Chumash, Director of CIR- Indian Canyon;
- Fuifuilupe Niumeitolu, Tongan, PhD Candidate, Dept. of Ethnic Studies, University of California, Berkeley.
Panel two begins at 1:00 p.m. with the topic of Catholic and Christians against canonization. The issue of Junipero Serra's impending sainthood, should not be a "Native Vs. Catholic" issue. This has been an emotional issue of major proportions. Many people from the Christian and Catholic faith have been reaching out, and organizing against Pope Francis' decision for Junipero Serra's sainthood. Subjects will include: How does one become a saint? Did Serra meet those requirements? How is the Catholic Church justifying the Junipero Sainthood? What is and what is not implied by Sainthood? How does this involve historical trauma and self - determination?
Confirmed panels include:
- Facilitator- Valentin Lopez, Chairman, the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Constantan/Ohlone Indians,
- Georgiana Valoyce Sanchez- Chumash, O'odham Elder Retired Professor of American Indian Literature Cal-State Long Beach;
- Donna Schindler, MD Cross-Cultural Psychiatry Historical Trauma Focus,
- Mary Valdemar, Former Catholic Youth of the Year, LA Archdiocese, Co-Founder of CHICCCAA, Coalition Member, Indigenous DRUM,

Zapatistas: In Times of Elections, Organize Resistance
ON THE ELECTIONS: ORGANIZE
April 2015

By Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés
To the compas of the Sixth:
To those who are reading because it interests them, even though they’re not part of the Sixth:
These days, every time that this thing they call the “electoral process” happens, we hear and see the stuff that comes out saying that the EZLN calls for abstention, that the EZLN says that people shouldn’t vote. They say this and other idiocies, these big-headed people who don’t study history or even try to understand. And they even put these absurdities into history books and biographies, and then charge for them. That is to say, they charge for these lies. Like politicians.
Of course, you know that we’re not interested in these things that those above make up in order to try to convince those below that they’re concerned about them.
As Zapatistas, we don’t call for people not to vote, nor do we call for them to vote. As Zapatistas, every time we get the chance we tell people that they should organize to resist and to struggle for what they need.

MOHAWK NATION NEWS 'MASONIC PIMPLE BURSTING AT 6 NAY'
MASONIC PIMPLE BURSTING AT 6 NAY
Please post & distribute. Nia:wen.
MNN. 13 May 2015. Red-X, the timeless, far-seeing, many dimensional, worldly ongwe’hon:weh gave an exclusive message to MNN. Before boarding his silver eagle to return to his cave high in the mountain where the sun never sets, he said, “When I leave, the gariwiio pimple will burst! Our great mother will provide no ongwe’hon:weh herbs to save it. Allan McNaughton was deposed in 1966. He always sat illegally as a passive chief. Captain Aaron Detlor brought in an arsenal of sharp objects to keep Allen in line.
Aaron, do you have to do it in the longhouse?
“Those guilty of purposely violating the Great Law will throw themselves into the abys never to be seen again by the ongwe’hon:weh. The tree of peace will stand strong again. Our visitors from other lands will fall on the ground and crawl on board their leaky ships and shaky birds, to be washed away never to be seen again by the ongwe’hon:weh.
Red-X advises, “Follow our true teacher, not false prophets like Skaniatariio and Captain Brant.
“Brant [1743–1807], a prominent Free Mason, was expelled completely from the Confederacy for treasonously selling our land and other malfeasance. Detlor also revealed himself and no one will give him shelter. He will flee while the going is good. But the Great Law will pursue him forever.
Aaron, you can run, disguise yourself, but the Great Law will find you!
“The white serpent of Free Masonry has always slithered invisibly beneath society, coiled up under our benches waiting to strike. Those who joined need to speak about their affiliation. The Great Peace longhouses have a duty to help reinstate the kaia’nereh:kowa, the true natural law of Ono’ware:geh, Great Turtle Island.
“Dekanawida brought us three things: the good message, which is here on earth; all living things have the same mother and the power to unite our minds; and to create the Peace.
“The instigators need a pretext to bring in the military to commit a treasonous act” just like in Onondaga in 1997. Red-X instructed, “Detlor and his cohorts should be challenged in an open council, using the perimeters of the natural law.
I’ll believe anything! We’re covering the wrath of the clan mothers & elders!
Red-X reminded us, “When they are ready, they may burn tobacco and call all our communities to come to one mind.” Finally he said, “The sun never sets on the Great Peace. The Eagle on top of the tree will always have a keen eye to see afar.” Then he boarded his silver eagle. Before flying off, Red-X said, “When you need news, who are you gonna call?” He heads off with the Fifth Dimension singing, “When the moon is in the 7th house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planet, and love will steer the stars. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius.
