The solar eclipse is a special time in the history of Indigenous nations. Founded in August 31, 1142, the history of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois) speaks of their founding under a full solar eclipse. Western scholars only verified it in the 1990s. As such, the Haudenosaunee are one of the world's longest lasting democracies
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.
To make the moon a graveyard goes against the beliefs of various human religions.
Here’s a look at what believers would say about this winter’s attempt to send a probe holding the remains of paying customers to the lunar surface

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.”

Juneteenth has #Indigenous history. When Black people who escaped slavery in Florida joined the Seminole Tribe, they became Black Seminoles. They're also called Mascogos b/c they migrated to Mexico, where slavery was already abolished. The Mascogos built the town El Nacimiento in 1852, but still interacted with Seminoles in Texas who brought them Juneteenth in the 1870s. Black Seminoles in Mexico had to survive slavery, the Trail of Tears, & the US-Mexico Border to celebrate #juneteenth #history

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."
In a first, botanists vote to remove offensive #plant names from hundreds of species
“Some have pushed to restore #Indigenous species names and change offensive ones, such as those in the genus Hibbertia, which was named in honor of English antiabolitionist and plantation owner George Hibbert.
A few #botanists have also proposed getting rid of eponyms honoring humans altogether.”

Just watched The Stand, a documentary about Haida blocking a logging company back in 1985 to protect their land. I cried, I laughed, clapped and swore. Truly inspired by their strength, tenacity and peaceful approach in negotiations (something I can learn from). More than ever, I'd like to visit Haida Gwaii and learn more there.

At tribal colleges, scholarships funded by a USDA grant have been suspended amid the Trump administration’s widespread cost-cutting.

Indigenous People's Day Gathering
Vancouver, B.C Canada
Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs.
A recent act of financial abuse has left them in crisis, forcing them to cover urgent costs for accommodation, relocation, and medical needs. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help them regain stability.
Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser widely. Solidarity is everything.

Trump Wants to Cut Tribal College Funding by Nearly 90%, Putting Them at Risk of Closing
—
ProPublica found that Congress was underfunding tribal colleges by a quarter-billion dollars per year. Rather than fixing the problem, proposed federal funding cuts unveiled this week would devastate the schools, tribal education leaders say.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said prepackaged foods have “mass poisoned” tribal communities.
But the Trump administration ended a program that tribal food banks relied on for fresh, locally produced food important to their traditions and cultures.
