Choking with grief, Myron Dewey's family described their loss, as court hands down minimal sentence

Update: The driver of the truck that killed Paiute journalist Myron Dewey is an engineer with the same Reno, Nevada, mining company that did the initial testing for lithium mining at Hualapai's ceremonial spring in Arizona. The Hualapai Nation filed a federal lawsuit against Interior Sec. Deb Haaland for the mining permit issued to Hawkstone Mining, an Australian company.

"Kappes, Cassidy and Associates (KCA) was selected for the test work in May 2018," states NS Energy Business, reporting on the lithium testing at the Big Sandy lithium project.

The Reno company, which has contracts and mining sites around the world on Indigenous lands, was forced out of Guatemala after Indigenous mining protesters were attacked and beaten. https://earthworks.org/blog/guatemalans-demand-right-to-say-no-to-a-nevada-owned-gold-mine/

Censored News honors the courage of Native People who stood in solidarity with Palestine and spoke out against genocide. During a year of genocide, most of the media in the United States published distractions and false narratives, aiding and abetting in war crimes and genocide.

Laveen Village, Gila River Indian Community, Arizona -- In the Gila River Indian Community, Biden claimed to be issuing an apology to Native children who were victims of U.S. boarding schools. His glory campaign was short-lived. As Biden spoke, an O'odham woman held up this sign: "There Are Still Babies in Mass Graves. Your Apology Means Nothing!! Land Back." Calling out to Biden, an O'odham woman yelled, "What about the people in Gaza! What about the people in Palestine!"

'Weird' Newspaper Could Taint Jury Pool in DAPL Case, Court Told

'Weird' Newspaper Could Taint Jury Pool in DAPL Case, Court Told

Update: North Dakota South Central Judge James Gion takes a 'wait and see' approach to whether the fossil-funded newspaper has tainted the jury pool. The newspaper, delivered in Morton County, seeks to criminalize water protectors in its articles, and promotes the sheriff. The trial, in Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace and Red Water Society, is slated for court in Mandan the third week of Feburary 2025. Greenpeace International says the Dakota Access Pipeline owner is trying to shut it down. Greenpeace says the $300 million SLAPP lawsuit seeks to deny that it was an Indigenous-led movement in Standing Rock 2016 -- 2017.

The Strange Case of Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace and Red Warrior Society

Update: Judge denies Greenpeace request to investigate mailer

By Mary Steurer, North Dakota Monitor, Jan. 3, 2025

In a Dec. 17 order, Gion seemed to agree with Greenpeace that the mailer may have been an effort to sway jurors.

“The Court takes an extremely dim view of attempts to influence a jury panel before the trial,” he wrote.

Still, the judge found it would not be appropriate to approve the discovery request without further evidence the mailer has had a measurable impact on the jury pool.

“There is only one way to determine if such an attempt is successful, and unfortunately the Court agrees with Energy Transfer that way is through the jury questionnaires and jury selection,” he wrote in the order. “If the Court cannot empanel a jury in Morton County, there will obviously be a delay in the trial and the Court can revisit this issue at that time.”
