During President Trump's visit today to North Dakota, in promotion of a refinery, Native Americans brought the message of healing, and the vital message of the reality of climate change, as hurricanes and wildfires devastate the continent.
Linda Black Elk urges people to stand up and not be afraid. Take a stand for climate change, she urges.
"Resist. Resist Genocide with us."
This isn't just about Dakota Access Pipeline, Enbridge or the others.
Today, Trump supporters were spewing hate at Native American women who were present.
"Stand up against the hate," Black Elk said.
Black Elk said the people here have been working tirelessly to send supplies to the Gulf Coast, hit by Hurricane Harvey, and to those who are victims of wildfires in Montana.
Speaking of the resistance that began in response to the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock, Black Elk said the people here are multi-taskers working together.
Black Elk explains why the people here are standing against Trump.
Black Elk said Trump pulled us out of the climate agreement in Paris.
As Native Americans gathered to speak out for Mother Earth, clean water, clean air, and sacred lands, she said, "Can't you all see that our Mother is angry right now?"
Waste Win Young, Lakota and Dakota from Standing Rock, was among the Native women who took a stand today.
Waste said they were yelled at, and there was even a tree branch thrown at them.
Waste said, "We held our own today. We made our stand. Wopila to everyone who came and stood! Baby steps. We can change the world."

Linda Black Elk says they brought a healing message today, but others did not. Watch video above.

Leonard Peltier's Statement about Recovery

9/5/2017 8:07 am est Good Day, Everyone, Supporters, Friends and Family Slept in a little this a.m., my cells had the ac/air going so it wasn't only a little chilled but under the blankets it felt nice and warm and sort of cozy so I just laid there, thinking about life home and just freedom an all. I wish I could spend some time with my Great and grandchildren even some of my now middle-aged children, who believe they are the victims in this whole life. They even believe they should be given all of the attention. I keep trying to get them to understand you have to earn leadership, read a law book, some legal articles, something that can help you gain more intelligence but I get criticized for it, so I suggest videos about our history the U.S. history, world history and then you can become a good leader! Well This triple by pass operation was totally unexpected! I have had these other medical problems for over a couple of years now: Prostate and Hip problems. But this Triple By Pass, Wow! and believe me it wasn't a very pleasant operation at all. I guess it never is when your whole chest has been open. O.K. so now I'm in the recovery period. I'm now in a Handicap cell, the largest cell I have been in since I was in prison. I can NO longer touch one wall with one fingertip to the other wall. But this large cell might be over sooner than I thought. I just heard I'M being transferred to another cell block (A) which they are going to make into an Elderly Block! BUT now I need to work on getting well as the post-surgery period is the most serious healing period as you all know. Paulette and ILPDC will relocate the ILPDC closer to me and since no one even knew I was in the hospital until after I got out and was back in my assigned cell. I think it will be a good idea in many areas not only protection for me but to rebuild the ILPDC. And friends we will need some financial help to do this work. I don't have Any Personal funds, So I have to depend on you, the grass roots activist for help. Every little bit adds up so donations are needed, unless you can't afford it (of course:) don't need to be large just many. Framed Prints and original art work in your homes would be great talking subjects Just an idea, but purchase them from Kari Ann, the only ILPDC Art Director! O.K. I will try to keep you as updated as much as possible. Thanks to all of you brothers and Sisters, for all you help and concern over all of these yrs. I do Love you all. IN the Spirit of Crazy Horse. Doksha, Leonard Peltier. We from the commitee want to thank you all for your continued support. This surgery Uncle Leonard went through only shows how he will not be here forever. Please take the time to help with the legal fees. This is his last trimester in life and he needs your help to get this campaign moving.

OWE AKU -- ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND THE SURVIVAL OF A PEOPLE

URANIUM MINING & THE OGLALA LAKOTA PEOPLE

Link to the 40 page study on Environmental Justice & the Survival of a People:  Uranium Mining and the Oglala Lakota People Link to the 40 page study on Environmental Justice & the Survival of a People:  Uranium Mining and the Oglala Lakota People Owe Aku works to bring back our way of life which includes humanity's role in nature:  we are a part of it, not outside of it, not having dominion over it.  To achieve this Owe Aku works to stop mining that contaminates our water and land.  Owe Aku has reestablished programs that utilize the wisdom of our ancestors in combatting the effects of inter-generational trauma caused by colonization and the intentional attempts for hundreds of years to destroy our culture.   In the Lakota Language Owe Aku means Bring Back the Way.  In bringing back the way, we strive to offer alternatives, based on traditional knowledge, that respect the changing environmental conditions of Mother Earth, and which will ultimately benefit the peoples and ecosystems of the planet.  The environment, upon which we are all dependent, is no longer just an issue for Indigenous peoples.  On every continent, Indigenous cultures offer viable alternatives because we recognize the Earth, not as a commodity to be exploited, but as a relative that protects and preserves our very existence and the existence of future human generations.    Decisions are always made collectively first with the grassroots leaders of our tiyospaye (extended family or clan) and our direct allies.  The people of our tiyospaye founded Owe Aku Bring Back the Way and have continued to direct its activities and make decisions based on the traditional Lakota principle of consensus.   IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR WORK, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.OWEAKUINTERNATIONAL.ORG AND CLICK ON THE DONATE BUTTON ON THE HOME PAGE.  WOPILA!
