The largest #GreenEnergy development in Washington was approved last week by state officials. It overlaps Yakama Nation ceremonial sites, the county's last habitat connectivity corridor, and the county's last intact sagebrush steppe.
The state has required project modifications to protect a threatened species of hawk, but has required no modifications to protect other tribal cultural resources.
#ÉlénaChoquette discusses her book #LandAndTheLiberalProject: #Canada's Violent Expansion
Choquette 'investigates the liberal concept that underpinned land appropriation and legitimized violence: #Indigenous territory and people were to be “improved,” the former by agrarian capitalism, the latter by so-called protection and enforced schooling.'

At the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northern New Mexico stands the Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States, over 1000 years old. Built from adobe, these multi-storied homes reflect centuries of tradition and resilience of the Taos people.

Can’t say Jason Mamoa didn’t put in the work to prepare for his role in “Chief of War,” the first major TV series featuring the language and culture of Hawaii’s Indigenous people. The actor used a coach to speak Hawaiian authentically. Did he achieve his goal? @AssociatedPress says, while imperfect, “it’s a successful global-scale contribution to revitalizing and normalizing a language that has endured erasure attempts amid colonization.”
As extractive “wildcrafting” has become popular, supposedly treaty-protected #Indigenous access to ancestral gathering sites has diminished, says Michelle Week (Sinixt, Arrow Lakes), who runs x̌ast sq̓it, an Indigenous foods farm near #Portland #Oregon.
“You have the privilege to go out and gather these things without fear of harassment, but my community, who’s native to this place, we just don’t have that luxury.”

I remember coming home from school and telling my mom Columbus "discovered" America. She told me it was a load of crap, and set me straight. Mom was a hippie who challenged the status quo. At the time, it embarrassed me, I'd get frustrated and just wanted her to be like the other parents.
I realized later how lucky I was, and do the same with my daughter.

"Oral, archaeological, and written evidence all show that large populations survived in all of these places by adjusting how they lived, by creating smaller scale societies that in many ways worked better for people and their environments."

Went to an Indigenous event yesterday in San Francisco where they built a fire with volcanic rocks to make acorn mush. The guy doing it said it’s important to get these round, tumbled rocks and they usually come from east of the Sierras. They ran a very inclusive event yesterday where different Indigenous groups came and asked the Yelamu people for permission to come ashore (into the Bay). Everyone shared their songs and stories. I learned a lot.
The latest in my ongoing #GreenColonialism investigation: a federal agency has moved forward with a renewable energy development on Yakama sacred lands, despite not having consulted with the Yakama Nation.
They cornered the Yakama Nation with an impossible choice: give up confidential cultural information, or waive the right to consult. Some experts say this is a disingenuous tactic, showing the lack of teeth tribal consultation really has.
I attended the Supreme Court of #Texas on Wednesday to help @deceleration cover a unique case involving #Indigenous religious freedom, pandemic restrictions on churches, and a cormorant rookery in a San Antonio park.

Uncontacted Amazon tribe photographed in unusual sighting near logging area in Peru
NBC News reports: "More than 750 people strong, [the Mashco Piro people] are believed to be the world’s largest uncontacted tribe, having survived massacres and enslavement during the rubber boom of the 19th century."
Across hundreds of Alaskan communities, public schools are often the safest buildings where people can take shelter during disasters.
After decades of state neglect, however, some have become emergencies themselves.

To know ourselves is the most profound and difficult endeavor. Though we are all made of the same questions, we have individual routes to the answers, or to reframing the questions. Why is there evil in the world? Why do people suf...
