After the protests and the library occupation at #Portland State, the university wanted police to monitor the 51st annual Naimuma Powwow, which was scheduled on campus for May 04. Organizers didn’t love that idea of having police there, so they rescheduled the powwow for May 25th.

Then something special happened: students and #Indigenous community members showed up on May 04 anyway, in the park blocks by the university, and held a spontaneous Powwow for #Palestine.

@IndigenousFoodSov "In other words, decolonizing work isn’t just for Indigenous peoples: We can all benefit from untangling ourselves from the web of colonialism." ❤️ 💗

"This July, I will turn 100 years old. I was born in 1924 in one of the last encampments and raised in Blacktail. When we were young girls, my sister, who was 10 at the time, and I, just 8 years old, attended a mission school for a year and a half."

Tribes have long been among the staunchest advocates of wildlife crossings. But grant funding stipulations, as well as some state agencies like the #NewMexico Dept. of Transportation, can work against them.

Nevertheless, tribes like the Stillaguamish, the Upper Skagit, the Santa Ana Pueblo, the Burns Paiute, and the Salish and Kootenai are taking the lead on connecting habitat and reducing the harms of American highways and interstates.

"If continues his current course, extraction of the lithium, copper, cobalt, nickel, graphite, and manganese vital for a green-energy transition will come at the cost of Indigenous lands and trust... it could also cost Biden the election."

I don't know who these Green New Deal people are that you're talking about.

But "Can't have it both ways" is a mantra I keep hearing from colonizers promoting a new manifest destiny.

@Misterhighwasted

Well

Since you're asking

the solution is probably . And that's why people keep talking about colonization. 🤷‍♀️

@ArrowbearMoore Haaland has not taken a clear public stance, to my knowledge, and I'd be interested to know what's going on behind the scenes, too.

From an AP story last year on Thacker Pass:

"Haaland, whose department oversees Thacker Pass, said that while she supports the right to peaceful protests, her agency is in favor of the mine because 'the need for our clean energy economy to move forward is definitely important.'”

@ZillaMon @1dalm Maybe they just think "THOSE PEOPLE" should roll over and stop resisting.

Somebody has to pay the price for white people's eco crimes. And it sure as hell isn't gonna be white people!

@ZillaMon Thank you, but this take belongs to Dr. Doliwura Zakaria.

@krystyna The empire wants you to believe you only have two options. Indigenous people know both options are empire.

@Toastie@journa.host avatar

@krystyna Also 'liberals can abuse #Indigenous people however they want because at least they're not fascists' is an unbelievably common shit take.

And it's why so many Indigenous people don't trust liberals.

@Toastie@journa.host avatar

@krystyna For you these might be purity tests. For Indigenous people, this is the unchecked pillaging of our lands---again.

Your democracy does not serve us.

Iron Gate Dam is now under demolition on the Klamath River in Northern .

"We make this place all new again in service of all the spirit people that exist on this earth, both human and non-human ancestors and relations," said Karuk elder Leaf Hillman.

Just a reminder that dam removal efforts began two decades ago with people having bake sales and getting laughed at in the face of monumental economic and political forces.
