“This photo from the 1870s shows a man proudly standing in front of a mountain of tens of thousands of bison skulls - an iconic American species that was systematically slaughtered by the millions as European Americans colonized the west.
The US Army actively endorsed the wholesale slaughter of these animals for two main reasons: to remove any competition with cattle, and to starve Native American tribes who greatly depended on the bison for food. Without the bison, the resisting tribes of the Great Plains would either be forced to leave or die of starvation.”

Police aren’t suddenly declaring open season on black folks.. It’s been like this… We just have social media which connects people in real time to the murders… Imagine how many have been killed and their stories disappeared… Imagine how many, even in the light of social media, are being killed but we’ll never hear about them…

Police murdering black people is continued acts of genocide still being committed in the u.s. I have heard many white people say genocide is over in the u.s. and yet police officers are murdering innocent black people without getting in trouble for it. We know the definition of genocide, we know that it is not only murder but forced assimilation, relocation, the destruction of a culture, rape, and murder. And black people are still being murdered 28-31 times more than white people by the police and we aren’t calling this a genocide?
Black lives MATTER!

The Atikamekw First Nation says it will not allow any forestry work on its territory in Quebec unless it has given prior approval. Th
“The Atikamekw nation asserting its sovereignty and is targeting forestry companies
In a statement, the Atikamekw prevent any logging operation will be allowed on its territory without the operating companies without obtaining prior consent.
This new salvo comes as several forest companies must obtain re-registration in the forest management of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) system. It is precisely on this point that intend to address the Atikamekw to block the operation on their territory Opitciwan.”
In preparation for today’s UN Summit discussing climate change, its implications, and steps to tackle the problem, the People’s Climate March took place on Sunday, September 21st at locations around the world.
New York City’s march was said to have a turnout of over 400,000 making this the largest climate march in history. The indigenous people took the lead of this march as those that are most affected by climate change.
Among them was the Lakota People’s Law Project’s own Madonna Thunder Hawk who marched and spoke at the AIM-West UN Press Conference on Sept. 19th. At the press conference, Thunder Hawk kept her focus on the illegal taking of Lakota children by the state of South Dakota, “The state of South Dakota is still trafficking Lakota children. They get millions of dollars in federal money every year for their so-called child welfare services.” For a clip of Thunder Hawk’s presentation, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBypaR8QCf0&feature=youtu.be .

The Secretary of the Interior on Wednesday decided against releasing water down the Trinity River to ensure the survival of the salmon runs expected this month. The virtual trickle of water is low, too warm, and clogged with moss, while corporate farms in California’s Central Valley are receiving the government subsidized water. The people of the Hoopa Valley Tribe and Yurok Tribe on the Trinity-Klamath Rivers are very worried that they will face another massive fish kill, as happened in 2002 under the same conditions.

Genocide of indigenous peoples, Boarding Schools, experimenting on First Nations children in hospitals, forced sterilization of indigenous women, seizure of indigenous children into the foster care system, breaking treaties with indigenous people, taking land from indigenous peoples and paying them below market value (if they’re compensated at all), exploitation of indigenous lands, exploitation of indigenous peoples, destruction of the environments in indigenous lands, the racism against Muslims and attempts to ban headscarves.
