"They didn't tell us the rock was dangerous. They said they would use it to make weapons, to use against the Asians. But it came back on us."

This is the voice of a Dine' grandmother, speaking in Dine'.

STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBAL CHAIRWOMAN JANET ALKIRE STATEMENT ON THE JURY VERDICT AGAINST GREENPEACE

By Standing Rock Chairwoman Janet Alkire

Censored News, March 27, 2025

Translation into French by Christine Prat 

https://chrisp.lautre.net/wpblog/?p=8592

As Chairwoman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, I take offense to the jury verdict in the Energy Transfer SLAPP lawsuit against Greenpeace. We expect more from North Dakota judges and members of the jury from our neighboring communities.

Energy Transfer’s claims in this case were ridiculous. They were wholly disrespectful of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, our ancestors, and our youth, who started the movement in 2016 to protect our water from an oil spill from DAPL. Neither Greenpeace nor anyone else paid or persuaded Standing Rock to oppose DAPL.

On the Frontline of Land Defense in the Amazon in Brazil

Defending Land Rights in the Amazon in Brazil

The land defenders say they will remain mobilized until their rights are guaranteed. “We will not leave. We left our homes, we have children, young people and the elderly here. This is to resist. We will not give up our territory."

The Temporal Framework thesis establishes that indigenous peoples can only claim lands that they occupied or disputed on the date of the promulgation of the Federal Constitution , on October 5, 1988. The proposal, however, was considered unconstitutional by the STF, in September 2023.

A Morton County jury on Wednesday ordered Greenpeace to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline, finding that the environmental group incited illegal behavior by anti-pipeline protesters and defamed the company.

The nine-person jury delivered a verdict in favor of Energy Transfer on most counts, awarding more than $660 million in damages to Energy Transfer and Dakota Access LLC.
