Live from Secwepemc Tiny House Warriors and the Trans Mountain Pipeline Resistance

Govinda is in Blue River, setting up a mobile and FM grassroots radio station on Secwepemc ancestral land. The beautiful land is being destroyed by the Trans Mountain pipeline, north of Kamloops, BC, and a man camp of trailer houses is just outside the doors of the Tiny House Warriors, where the resistance continues. Watch Govinda's video just shared.

“Like my grandpa George says, our culture flows from the land, our language flows from the land,” said Kanahus Manuel, who together with her twin sister Mayuk founded the Tiny House Warriors village in 2017. “When we resist and stand up and fight back, we’re saving ourselves from extinction.”

As much as the Tiny House Warriors village has been a hub for maintaining Indigenous culture, it has also been a hub of resistance. The homes sit on a road alongside a construction site related to a massive expansion of the federally owned Trans Mountain Pipeline, a 1,150-km (710-mile) pipeline that carries 300,000 barrels of tar sands diluted bitumen every day from Alberta through British Columbia to an endpoint on the Canadian coast outside Vancouver.

World Premiere at Tribeca: 'Lakota Nation vs United States'

LAKOTA NATION VS. UNITED STATES
Documentary
By Tribeca Film Festival

It is the most sacred place on earth, the birthplace of the Lakota that has shaped thought, identity and philosophy for the Očéti Šakówiŋ since time immemorial--the life-giving land known as the Black Hills.

Yet with the arrival of the first Europeans in 1492, the sacred land has been the site of conflict between the people it has nurtured and the settler state seeking to exploit and redefine it in its own image. Beginning with the Indian Wars of the 1800s, which saw the U.S. Army continually on the losing-end against Sioux and Arapaho warriors, and leading to the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 -- one of many broken treaties separating the Oyate from their land -- the Black Hills have witnessed a greed-driven gold rush, the systematic erasure of its original inhabitants, and the creation of a most ironic shrine to white supremacy, Mount Rushmore.

Cardinal and University of Arizona Denied Apache Sacred Way of Life and Built Telescope on Mount Graham

Mount Graham Sacred Run

Vatican's Observatory on Mount Graham violates the Apache way of life, destroyed natural habitat,  and now desecrates sacred Mount Graham

New York Times article fails to document the role of Cardinal Sodano and the University of Arizona in denying the Apaches' sacred way of life and constructing a telescope on sacred Mount Graham

Cardinal Sodano and the University of Arizona led the denial of Apache's religious way of life and constructed the Vatican's Observatory on Mount Graham after years of efforts to protect the sacred mountain. The New York Times has an article on Sodano, pointing out his role in covering up sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, but the article does not document Sodano's role in desecrating Mount Graham and denying the sacred Apache way of life.

The University of Arizona often concealed its role and went so far as to have university security arrest Wendsler Nosie for trespass when he was praying on Mount Graham.

While the University hid its role in the desecration of Mount Graham, the University of Arizona continued to solicit and receive millions of dollars each year in grants based on Native Americans' needs, struggles and research.

The Vatican currently has a telescope on Mount Graham.

Pearl Daniel-Means Passes to Spirit World

Our sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Pearl Means, who passed to the Spirit World far too young at 62. Pearl made her journey at the same that the film she co-produced, "End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock," announced premieres in Austria and Finland this summer. Pearl will be remembered for her elegance and grace, and as a companion to her late husband Russell Means during his transition to the realm beyond. -- Brenda, Censored News

PEARL DANIEL-MEANS, NAVAJO FILM PRODUCER, ACTIVIST, AND AUTHOR, TRANSCENDS AT 62

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Pearl Daniel-Means (Diné) has passed away at the age of 62. Born into the Ashiihi (Salt) Clan of the Navajo Nation, Means was a film producer, activist, and author who spoke around the world—from New Zealand to South Africa, and from Ecuador to Finland—on matters concerning Indigenous issues, human rights, and environmentalism. Her Lakota name, Iyoyanbya Izanzan Win, translates loosely to “Bright Light.”

Means walked alongside the late American Indian activist, author, artist, and actor Russell Means, as his wife, business manager, and collaborator. In recent years, she served on the board of directors of several Indigenous organizations, including Romero Institute, which works to confront the climate crisis. She was chair of the T.R.E.A.T.Y. Total Immersion Educational Endowment Fund from 2012 to 2020. In this capacity, she worked tirelessly in support of Indigenous culture, arts, education, and spirituality.

Means is co-producer of the feature documentary END OF THE LINE: THE WOMEN OF STANDING ROCK, about a small group of Indigenous women who establish a peaceful camp in protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline. It premieres on Peacock on June 2.

Means is survived by her father, Ernest Wayne Daniel; her sisters, Patricia Rose Daniel, Rebecca Ann Daniel, Naomi Kathleen Daniel, Roberta Lea Daniel-Trotter; her children, Tessica Dawn Baca, Trista Cheryal Baca, and Brandon James Norwick (Alexandrea); her granddaughter, Arya Kaya-Pearl Robertson; and her life partner, Dr. Edmund Keli’i Paki-Silva, Jr.
