Colonialism Created These Fires: Solidarity with the Karuk Tribe in California
Posted on November 2, 2020


“Fear of fire is what brought us to this place we are at…We have to re-establish a positive relationship with fire. Fire suppression has failed. The more time goes on that we don’t put fire back on these landscapes at the time and at the scale that we need to, then it will do it, not on our terms.”
-Karuk ceremonial leader Leaf Hillman

Comments of the Principal Man Ian Zabarte of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians and Secretary of the Native Community Action Council--November 3, 2020 on the NUREG-2239--Environmental Impact Statement for Interim Storage Partners LLC’s License Application for a Consolidated Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel in Andrews County, Texas Docket ID NRC-2016-0231

Submitted to US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff: WCS_CISF_EIS@nrc.gov.

COMMENTS:

The Native Community Action Council recommends the No-Action Alternative because the proposed action is illegal since the Nuclear Regulatory Commission makes an unconstitutional assumption of a proposed permanent repository at Yucca Mountain where the Treaty of Ruby Valley (Consolidated Treaty Series Vol. 127 (1863) is in full force and effect, thereby controlling any matter touching Shoshone country at Yucca Mountain.

The proposed Yucca Mountain site is unconstitutional and therefore illegal under law.

MNN. Nov. 3rd, 2020. The New World Order NWO is polluting the Finger Lakes, which is the source of all major rivers in northeastern United States. It is also the source of the greatest true democracy in the world that came from the Iroquois Confederacy. The Confederacy and its allies still maintain unceded sovereignty over the Western Hemisphere. Obviously Hunter Biden wants to show by his tattoo of the Finger Lakes on his back that he is part of the source of the pollution that is entering the water systems in eastern United States.  [See story below].

The orator thanks all that helps human life, the trees, water, winds, and so on and the power that produces them; they express their gratitude to the Earth where men dwell, to the streams of water, the pools and the lakes, to the maise and the fruits, to the medicinal herbs, to the animals that serve as food and give their pelts for clothing, to the thunderers; to the Sun, the mighty warrior, to the moon helper of all female life; to all the messengers of Creation that provide health and life.

MNN, Oct. 29, 2020. The human race has been prepared for a long time to accept the brutality that’s necessary for the takeover of the the financial industry worldwide. People are being bored to death and distracted with confusing oppression.  The human race could be taken out of it with the snap of a finger by somebody who can show people the truth. The blinders must be removed.

On Crow Voices Radio, Govinda interviewed Ofelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham, live from Montana today. Ofelia described the opposition to the Israeli spy towers of Elbit Systems, now being constructed on her Tohono O'odham Nation homeland.

Along with the spy towers, integrated fixed towers, the vehicle barrier now prevents animals from migrating. The towers allow the U.S. government to watch and listen to traditional O'odham in their home communities.

Rivas said the Tohono O'odham Nation government's opposition to the border wall is just rhetoric because the elected tribal government does not want to jeopardize its federal funding.

Traditional O'odham continue their prayers for the protection of the water and Quitobaquito Springs.

"We do need each others help to protect our lives and appreciation of Mother Earth," Rivas said.

"We are all going through a lot of changes."

Rivas said she is in a grieving mode, because there is a lot of destruction, and not just because of the pandemic. "The destruction of the sacred mountain affects our way of life."

O'odham remember their ancestors and hold them dear.

"If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be sitting here today."

As the number of O'odham communities on the south side of the border decreases, she said the Mexican government has not supported the O'odham on the south side. Rivas has been delivering water and food to O'odham.

"We meet at that fence," she said, of deliveries to O'odham on the south side.

"Stay strong, and be healthy, and be happy," she said.

Welcome home message to Evo Morales, from Ofelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham

Censored News

Sending him my going home song and all the flowers for his walk to his community, to his family. Our prayer offerings are wonderfully fulfilled that no harm will come to the only Indigenous president of this world. I was a guest in his homelands and the people were so beautiful and they love President Juan Evo Morales Ayma. -- Ofelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham

Bolivian President Evo Morales invited members of the international press to join him at his mountain homeland in Bolivia, during the gathering in 2010. Here, he shared a traditional meal with us, fresh fish, purple potatoes and boiled corn on clay dishes, after Morales played a game of soccer. 
-- Brenda Norrell, Censored News

Democracy Now! reports: "In Bolivia, a court in La Paz has dismissed terrorism charges and annulled an arrest warrant against Evo Morales, arguing the former president’s rights and due process had been violated. The charges were issued following a right-wing coup last year that overthrew Morales. This comes as Morales has vowed to return to Bolivia after Luis Arce of Morales’s MAS party won last week’s presidential election by a landslide. Morales has been in exile for nearly one year."
