Lakota Language Advocate Prevails in Attack on Teaching License

 



Lakota Language Advocate Prevails in Attack on Teaching License

Austrian and Czech heads of the Lakota Language Consortium were unable to take away the teaching license of Ray Taken Alive, Lakota language teacher. The LLC was already banned by the Standing Rock Lakota Nation in North Dakota. LLC believes it owns the images and words of Lakotas, including Ray's grandmother. Read the statement just released by Ray's attorneys Big Fire. Ray had to raise funds after LLC went after his license in an effort to silence him.

Ray said, "In 2020, My Grandmother, Delores Taken Alive, passed away from Covid and since then we’ve been working to reclaim all rights to her Lakota language materials from the Lakota Language Consortium (LLC). The LLC Board Chairman, Wilhelm Meya, is of Austrian descent and receives a salary of over 6 figures selling our language, including materials that belong to my Grandmother ... They have wielded the power of 'copyright' over me twice by accusing me, a Lakota language instructor, of copyright infringement."

Search dogs find signs of human remains as Mohawk Mothers pursue justice at CIA torture site


One teen girl who survived the CIA's MK Ultra torture experiments in Montreal, Canada, lived to tell the truth. She saw Indigenous children in the hospital who were fellow victims of mind control and torture experiments. She saw hospital staff digging graves at night. Mohawk Mothers went to court, representing themselves with The Great Law, to secure the site search and honor the children. Search dogs have now indicated human remains at the former hospital site at McGill University in Montreal. -- Censored News.

After Murdering Raymond Mattia, U.S. Border Patrol Stalks and Intimidates Tohono O'odham in Community

Most Censored: US Border Patrol running drugs



The U.S. Border Patrol with surveillance directed at traditional Tohono O'odham homes, near the home of Raymond Mattia ten years ago, before he was murdered by the U.S. Border Patrol.

While US Border Patrol agents escort cartels into the US, 'securing' the border means cash for corporations and their politicians

Ten Years Later

When I talked with Raymond Mattia in 2013, on the border by his home, Ray described how he videotaped U.S. Border Patrol agents escorting the drug cartels across the border with their loads. When he submitted the evidence to authorities, the video disappeared. Raymond was murdered by Border Patrol agents coming out the front door of his home.

Mohawk Nation News 'New/Old Band Council Hustle'

NEW/OLD BAND COUNCIL HUSTLE

Mohawk Nation News

https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2023/06/27/new-old-band-council-hustle/

MNN. June 27,  2023.


Here’s how it goes. A band council entity is set up. They offer to help their people. Somebody or a community group get some monies to “benefit the community”, but the band council or its nominee own all the assets from it and can tell us what we can or cannot do. The band council and its entities use our funds to ingratiate,  enrich themselves, get into conflict of interest situations and possible fraud.

Leonard Peltier's statement to the 24th Annual Oglala Commemoration 48th Anniversary of the 1975 Oglala Fight

Statement from Leonard Peltier
26 June 2023
French translation by Christine Prat

Greetings my relatives, friends, supporters, loved ones. I want you to understand that after all these years in prison, I may not think like you, I may not talk in a way you think I should talk, but times like these wear on you.

You get old. Your knees hurt. Your back hurts. Everything hurts.

You get to a point where you see things as they really are, past the flowery words that people use to make you feel good about things that are irrelevant.
