Joy Rides into the Stratosphere, and Military Intelligence: Helium Balloons over Navajo and Lakota Nations, Indian Country

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Sept. 5, 2024

Joy rides into the stratosphere, and military surveillance, are two of the purposes for the helium balloons over the Navajo Nation, Lakota Nations in South Dakota, and most of Indian country, according to the owners of the helium balloons.

The Guardian exposed the helium balloons spying platforms and the ACLU in South Dakota warned of this surveillance. The balloons are capable of video recording vehicles traveling to protests, and can reveal where the vehicles arrived from. It's spying without a warrant.

Going to the Shiprock Fair, Klee Benally Remembered the Uranium Dump on the Banks of the San Juan River

Translated into French by Christine Prat

SHIPROCK, Navajo Nation -- In his book published shortly before his passing, Klee Benally writes of going to the Northern Navajo Fair and the uranium dump in Shiprock that no one talks about. It is along the San Juan River, the same river that flooded here this week, now eight months after Klee's passing.

"The Northern Navajo Fair at Tsé Bit A'í (Shiprock, New Mexico) has been held for more than one hundred years," Klee writes in 'No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred.'

Klee describes how the fair each fall marks the changing of the seasons and the harvest. He describes the neon glow of the carnival in the cold, dusty nights, and the juniper fires that burn.
