CAJEME, Sonora, Mexico -- An arrest was made for the assassination of Yaqui Rights Leader Tomás Rojo Valencia, 54, whose remains were found on June 17 after his disappearance in May.

At a press conference Monday, the head of the Prosecutor's Office, Claudia Indira Contreras, said Francisco Hiram, 26, alias "El Morocho" was arrested. The investigation is continuing to others linked to Tomas' murder.

The Yoeme (Yaqui) at Vicam Pueblo have carried out highway blockades on their land -- in protest of gas lines, an aqueduct stealing Yaqui River water for the City of Hermosillo, and rail lines in Vicam territory. These were all constructed without consultation with Vicam Yaqui.

Pueblo of Zuni Letter to President Biden July 1, 2021

Val R. Panteah Sr.
Governor PUEBLO OF ZUNI
P. 0. Box 339

Carleton R. Bowekaty Zuni, New Mexico 87327

01 July 2021

Mr. President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. President,

The Pueblo of Zuni thanks the Biden and Harris Administration and the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) for the opportunity to provide productive, and hopefully long-lasting, input on material changes that are necessary to meaningfully and effectively advance equity and support by the government for underserved communities. We particularly seek to provide comments that address how opportunities in select governmental policies, regulations, and guidance can affirmatively and equitably be applied and programmatically operationalized to both address and provide solutions to some of the most intensive underlying causes of systemic inequities in American society for the A:shiwi, the Zuni people.
