In Malaysia, the native community is being told to move away from their land. Natives are against this displacement plan.

A hotel owner openly banned Native Americans and still thought it was ok. A jury proved what was obvious. Racism is not opinion it is a crime. One dollar verdict but a loud record of shame. #NativeRights #Racism #CivilRights #APNews

After watching politics for a few decades, I now have a strong negative reaction to every suggestion that a new sports arena will/should/could be built, like this announcement (first pic) that the San Antonio Spurs want a new one. The history of major league #sports stadiums in the #usa is a shitshow of #corruption and theft.

The worst case I personally know (because I live in Western NY): In 2002, Buffalo and WNY residents rejected Hochul's request for $600M for a new #BuffaloBills stadium. A few very rich people really wanted that stadium (they got sweetheart deals for concessions, etc.), so she broke the law to appropriate "shared" funds from the Seneca Nation of Indians.

The conquest did not end. Occupation did not end. And I will not attend any events in that fucking stadium, even if I think #TheBills are about as cool as an #NFL team can be.

(Subtext: NY State is "blue" in particular ways. After I moved here one of my friends said that NY governors have a "D" by their name but you don't get elected NY Governor unless you behave like a mafia boss)

The San Antonio Spurs want to spend at least $500M on a new arena. Now they need help from voters

article excerpt:

When Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday that New York was ready to put up $600 million toward the $1.4 billion cost of a new Buffalo Bills stadium, she was talking football after a weekend spent playing hardball with the Seneca Nation.

And that hardball brought a Buffalo windfall, to the tune of $564 million.

A subpoena last Friday froze Seneca bank accounts and forced an end to a years-long dispute over revenue-sharing funds.

article excerpt:

The Seneca statement railed against the way the resolution came about.

"The accounts were unjustly targeted and frozen by in (sic) act of blatant aggression by New York State late last week, despite the State’s knowledge that the Nation’s secured account held more than sufficient funds to satisfy any Compact-related matters," the statement read.

The frozen accounts imperiled services to the Nation, the release said, "to the Seneca people, as well as the lives and livelihoods of thousands of Seneca and non-Seneca individuals and families across Western New York."

Tribal leaders had warned its members not to try to cash checks over the weekend.

Here's some really good news. I do like that beach, it's about 45 minutes from where I grew up - but it's also a tourist trap that has been exploited by local business to immense profit for generations. Respecting treaty rights is so important, and is one of the most important things Canadians can do to try to repair ther relationship with First Nations peoples.

Ellen Gabriel appears in this video, one of the first projects by Amplifier Films, recorded in the middle of the pandemic—just before we shifted our focus to working on Yintah full-time. Ellen was a spokesperson for Kanehsatà:ke during the 1990 Oka Crisis, which people from the community refer to as the Siege of Kanehsatà:ke. As we approach the 35th anniversary of that pivotal moment, we’re sharing a few reflections on its impact. The resistance at Kanehsatà:ke inspired Indigenous people not only in so-called Canada, but around the world. Still, the struggle for Indigenous sovereignty is far from over. Stay tuned for more videos exploring this important chapter in Indigenous resistance.

#Wetsuweten will be in court on August 21, 2025 as #Canada has filed a #MotionToStrike against their #climate #litigation case. Sound familiar? That’s because in July 2020, Canada filed a Motion to Strike against the Misdzi Yikh Charter challenge. Several years and an appeal hearing (that ended with the Federal Court of Appeal deciding that the section 7 of the Charter challenge was justiciable) later, Canada has filed for another Motion to Strike. Keep a lookout on RAVEN’s channels as we get closer to the hearing, we’ll be sharing lots of educational materials and actions to take to support Wet’suwet’en. Learn more about the #CharterCase and #donate to support the #legal action here.

About Murder by Decree

Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canada’s murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: – Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened – This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly “death quota” – Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 – The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.

I'm a longtime supporter of #RAVENTrust & their dedicated work for #Indigenous #justice.

"Supporting the assertion of the inherent and constitutionally-protected rights of Indigenous Peoples is a powerful pathway towards reconciliation and environmental justice. Working together we’ve raised millions of dollars to back some of the most groundbreaking legal challenges of our time.

Our First Nation partners have halted mines, stopped pipelines, and created better laws.

Take a stand for our common future. Join the RAVEN movement for Indigenous justice."

Back in 2018, Beaver Lake Cree filed for an #AdvancedCostOrder - #ACO - to secure funds from #Alberta and #Canada in order to continue accessing #justice for their #TreatyRights case, a case which will protect their people and territory from further expansion of the Alberta #TarSands and other #ResourceExtraction industries if successful. But, the cost of litigation for a case this momentous was more than the #FirstNation could front. That’s where the ACO comes in.

After six years, and reaching the #SupremeCourt of Canada ( #SCC ) — #BeaverLakeCree Nation will now receive $1.5 million annually from Alberta to continue their Treaty rights case!

The decision for a yearly contribution is a welcome relief, allowing the Beaver Lake #Cree Nation to move their case forwards while managing costs across their community needs.

Violence and Repression: #Indigenous from #Russia, #Algeria and #Nicaragua Appeal to the #UnitedNations

#CulturalSurvival: "#LatinAmerica is one of the most dangerous regions to be an #IndigenousRights and #environmental defender. Three out of four assassinations of environmental defenders take place in Latin America. Indigenous defenders face a double threat: defending rights and being Indigenous."

GENEVA -- "The #coal and #GoldMining in Russia has driven #IndigenousPeoples from their homes and poisoned their rivers. In Nicaragua, the assassinations and imprisonment of #LandDefenders has fractured families and communities, presenters told the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

"In Algeria, the people have barely survived 3,000 years of violent #colonization and #genocide.
'Other people should not undergo what we have experienced – which is the case now in #Palestine,' said the representative from the Algeria Association, Learned Society of scientific research, religious and mystical bodies. Describing the genocide in Algeria, he said France has thousands of bones and craniums of the people in French museums.

"An Indigenous woman from #Khakassia Republic in Siberia described the coal and gold mining: 'Coal is mined, despite mass protests, the government used land, private property for this, and citizens were driven out of their homes.' Now, she said, the conditions are no longer good for livestock breeding, which is their way of life.

"'The government is only interested in the presence of natural resources -- but we are a resource ourselves,' she told the #UnitedNations.

"'Our language is disappearing, and we only have one school in the republic where the language is taught. We are #Khakas but we do not govern #Khakassia.'

"'Nothing has been done to protect our land. The main priority is the mining for materials.'

"'I also note the #Shors are suffering from gold mining, they have territory for traditional nature management created by the Republic of Khakassia, traditionally they are fishers and hunters and so on.'

"'However, companies are #polluting rivers, and this water should be used for vital needs. This water flows through villages, however it is polluted, but companies do not put an end to their activities."

More than 50 members of an uncontacted #IndigenousTribe have been photographed on a riverbank in the remote #Peruvian #Amazon near an area where #logging companies have been granted concessions by the country's government.

The large group from the #MashcoPiro appeared in recent days near the southeastern village of #MonteSalvado, which belongs to the #Yine people. A smaller group of 17 appeared near a neighboring village.

The Yine, who speak a language related to that of the Mashco Piro, have previously reported that the #UncontactedTribe has been angry about the presence of #loggers on their land, according to the #IndigenousRights group #SurvivalInternational.

“This is irrefutable evidence that many Mashco Piro live in this area, which the government has not only failed to protect, but actually sold off to logging companies,” Alfredo Vargas Pio, president of the local Indigenous rights group #FENAMAD, said in a statement from Survival International.
