We poured a lot into this new post on pigs, and who doesn't love learning more about these intelligent, sniffy, chonky beings? Check it out:

There's a LOT going on right now including us potentially needing to give up the land and move. If you're capable of upping your subscription to the paid tier it's just FIVE dollars a month and it helps us out a lot. We also still accept donations through our (currently slightly neglected) co-owner's ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/sigillosacro. We're offering a lot of good stuff for free and we do it because it needs to be done but also any contributions help us justify the time and energy we're spending doing this instead of other things that could keep us afloat.

Anyway. Love you all, stay safe out there, and thank you for reading and sharing if you do!

Native Survival Depends on Protecting Both Tribal and US Citizenship Rights

🚨 Breaking: Trump admin challenges Native Americans' birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, citing outdated laws. Critics warn it undermines sovereignty & constitutional rights. A judge blocked it, but the fight continues.

*This was a bad/evil investment from start! Canada violated #NativeSovereignty when buying it. RCMP sent to arrest/harass native activists.*

#Canada is amending regulations on how it manages state-owned #TransMountain #OilPipeline in order to facilitate its sale to #IndigenousGroups, according to official government notice published Weds.

Ottawa plans to sell the #pipeline now that it is complete & wants to enable #Indigenous communities along the route to buy a stake.

"What does the recent Supreme Court case upholding the #IndianChildWelfareAct (ICWA) mean for Indian adoption law? Is adoption of Indian Children based on child welfare or Tribal interests? We will explore why this is a false distinction. And why #ICWA is essential for preserving the tribes and their identity, and perhaps most importantly, their sovereignty."

Good morning, friends: There's no time better than now to call/email your representatives and ask them to codify #ICWA in your state. Protect Indigenous children and #NativeSovereignty.

"Some 82 tribes across the US from New York to Alaska now have more than 20,000 bison in 65 herds and that’s been growing in recent years along with the desire among Native Americans to reclaim stewardship of an animal their ancestors lived alongside and depended upon for millennia." Heartwarming stuff. And I love seeing any kids, #indigenous or otherwise, develop this kind of connection to where their food comes from.

While I’m on the topic of the American West, I’d like to highlight a new # book on my “to read” list: Carbon Sovereignty by #geographer Andrew Curley (Diné) about the history and present shift of the Navajo Nation from coal energy. https://uapress.arizona.edu/book/carbon-sovereignty #NativeSovereignty #coal #energy #energytransition #fossilfuels #geographers #scicomm #books #toread

I’m currently #reading Rebecca Solnit’s Savage Dreams and it’s a remarkable book. In this early book originally published by the Sierra Club, Solnit says she forged her particular style blending the historical, personal, and aesthetic. I highly recommend. #readingrecs #books #amreading #monday #yosemite #nevada #nevadatestsite #LandBack #NativeSovereignty
