MNN. 30 May 2019. Scalping natives is lucrative. Lawyers are getting filthy rich hunting down native victims from Canada’s numerous genocide programs. Different compensation is offered for deliberately maiming different parts of our minds, bodies and energy. A paltry $10,000 and “sorry” for beating up, strapping little kids, more for knocking us out, lifelong impairment, hospitalization, emotional and mental abuse, raping, impregnation, sterilization, loss of language, culture and self-esteem, scientific experimentation and death.

On May 9, several collectives, organizations, adherents to the Sixth Declaration of the Selva Lacandona and networks of support of the Indigenous Council of Government (CIG) met to agree on actions against the increase of the military presence and paramilitary in Zapatista territories.
These groups also spoke out against the recent increase in aggressions that include the assassination of members of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI), particularly in the state of Guerrero and Oaxaca.
For these reasons, the organizations agreed to hold a Global Action on May 31 against militarization in Zapatista territory and in defense of the land, territory and autonomy of the indigenous peoples and communities of the CIG-CNI.
