*One of my fierce sisters from another mister & fellow land/forest/water protectors, Jocey Alec & her family from #Wetsuweten #FirstNation are in this #documentary.

The #BCNDP & #GovernmentOfCanada are both still trying to criminalize environmental & #IndigenousSovereignty activism. The #BCgovernment created #RCMPCIRG in 2017 to crackdown on protestors. They are strictly a corporate mercenaries branch serving industry interests not public interests. Citizens tax monies are being exploited by BC NDP to pay these militarized thugs to commit violence so #ecocide corporations can profit more.*

Is #Canada at a point of no return, suffering the effects of #ClimateChange and worsening #wildfire seasons? Two controversial pipelines, the #TransMountain Expansion Project #TMX and #CoastalGasLink #CGL are being expanded and threatening the natural home of historically oppressed First Nations in Canada. But several First Nations are leading the fight against these massive #pipelines and becoming key advocates for protecting #nature from climate change.

Being a #LandDefender comes at a cost: harassment, detentions by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
#RCMP and threats from private security. But, in the face of setbacks, these #Indigenous #activists press on: “We are still fighting. This dance is not over yet.” In this episode, we hear the stories of the #IndigenousCommunities on the receiving end of these huge pipelines and their fight for the protection of both humans and nature.

Lamenting the Death of Mauricio Pájaro, Defender and Former Political Prisoner of San Salvador Atenco

The People’s Front in Defense of the Land (FPDTA) of San Salvador Atenco mourned the death of its member Mauricio Pájaro Huerta, who participated in the defense of the territory against the imposition of the New International Airport of Mexico City (NAICM) and was a political prisoner for his peasant struggle in the State of Mexico.

“Mauricio Pájaro, a tireless fighter, the repression suffered in 2002 when he was imprisoned never made him desist, always faithful to his ideals of land, justice and freedom, an example of dedication and dignity. You will always be among us. Goodbye forever comrade!” the Front posted.

The leader and defender of the FPDTA, María Trinidad Ramírez, recalled that Pájaro Huerta was one of the most active leaders of the movement for 24 years, whose participation in the struggle for the land of Atenco “was until the end of his life.”

“For us it is very painful to lose one more comrade and the only thing we have left is to honor his memory, to honor that great human being and inhabitant of Atenco, and to honor him is not to abandon the struggle,” said Ramírez after the death of the defender, on February 23.

The members of the Front announced that in the coming days they will pay tribute to Mauricio Pájaro to remember his career in the defense of the community, where in July 2002 he was arrested along with Ignacio Valle during the repression of the movement against the airport in Atenco.

news.mongabay.com/short-articl

Canada’s first “#prisoner of conscience,” Chief Dsta’hyl of the Wet’suwet’en Nation #Indigenous territory, was #released in September after serving 60 days of house arrest. While the court order banning him from interfering with a natural #gas #pipeline project through his land in the province of British Columbia is still in place, he is appealing the conviction…

If you are able to, please donate to this dear Indigenous leader's fundraiser that some dear comrades have created to help with all the medical and related expenses she has been incurring this year, because of cancer and other health issues. One of our cofounders has looked up to her so much all these years, and grown as a leader in their community from opportunities that she shared with them.

"Help Man Red start a farm camp
Make a donation to support the farm camp
Venmo - @ChristopherFrancisco2021
Cash App - $manred2021
Indigenous land defender Man Red is going home to Shiprock, New Mexico to visit, with the intention of starting a farm camp there over the next few years that he's calling Ho`zho Camp. He hopes that the farm will become a place for his family and other frontliners seeking community and a place to heal. His long-term goal is to create an eco-village on the farm for healing and connection. He is looking for funding to cover the costs for travel, living expenses, and fixing a tractor that will be used on the farm.

See videos of his work at Ho`zho` Camp and supporting elders in the community at bit.ly/rezlife3 and bit.ly/rezlife4

To the media, social and human rights organizations

To the National Indigenous Congress

To the indigenous peoples of Mexico and the world

And to society at large

We demand the presentation of Sergio Rivera Hernandez alive and hold the Mexican state accountable.

On August 23, 2018, Sergio Rivera Hernandez, defender of water and land, an indigenous Nahua activist, was the victim of enforced disappearance in the Sierra Negra de Puebla. Sergio, a father of a family and mechanic by profession, dedicated his life to the defense of water and the environment, confronting the Coyolapa–Atzalan hydroelectric project, driven by the mining company Autlan, which poses a serious threat to the rivers and ecosystems of the region.

Sergio Rivera Hernandez was not only fighting for his community, but for the right of all indigenous peoples to decide on the use of their lands and natural resources. His disappearance is a tragic example of the systematic violence faced by human rights and environmental defenders in Mexico, where economic interests often prevail over people‘s lives and rights.

Before this situation, we demand:

1. The immediate presentation with life of Sergio Rivera Hernandez. We hold the Mexican State responsible for his disappearance and demand justice in the face of the obvious lack of impartiality and corruption that has allowed his captors to go unpunished. We demand his location and the punishment of those responsible.

2. The effective protection of all human rights and environmental defenders is indispensable to guarantee the safety of those who, like Sergio, risk their lives to protect their territories and resources against the constant harassment and threat of destructive megaprojects throughout the country.

3. The total cessation of the criminalization and repression of social movements that oppose extractive projects. We also demand an immediate end to the war against the Zapatista communities and unfettered respect for the rights of indigenous communities in the face of any threat.

4. The end of impunity in cases of enforced disappearances in Mexico. The Mexican State must comply with its international human rights obligations by investigating and punishing those responsible for these crimes with the full rigor of the law.

Sergio Rivera Hernandez is a victim of the war against indigenous peoples and the economic interests that prevail in our country. We demand justice and the presentation alive of our brother.

Because alive they took him away, alive we want him!

Attention,

Zapatista Indigenous Agrarian Movement

I was chosen for a consultation meeting today on housing/affordable housing. The organization who did it is trying to gauge public opinions on the topic.

I talked about how a local community garden which fed a lot of low-income people was bulldozed and an equipment yard put up in its stead. I talked about how a stand of old-growth trees were wood-chipped and now the animals that lived there are homeless.

I talked about how the land I live on is part of the Haldimand Tract and all development requests should be going through Six Nations because it is their land, but how that is obviously not happening and that treaties are regularly broken. I talked about how Haudenosaunee, Mohawk, and Anishinaabeg have been criminalized for defending their land at 1492 Land Back Lane, and even shot at by cops for doing so, and paired that with what happened during the Oka Crisis/Kanehsatà:ke Resistance.

I talked about how unhoused queer and trans youth moved into the Land Back Camp here because they had no other place to go.

I think I almost made the interviewer cry, which is not my intention.

I suspect I am the only person they have interviewed who is involved with #LandBack. I do my best to be a Land Defender. I think I gave them an entirely different perspective. #IndigenousMastodon #LandDefender #Housing #AffordableHousing #HaldimandTract #Treaty #SixNations

In Memory of #KleeBenally: An Interview with #Blackfire

January 3, 2024
via @CrimethInc

"Early on December 31, 2023, the #Diné land defender, organizer, author, and musician Klee Benally passed away at the age of 48. In his memory, we present an interview that we conducted in 2009 with Klee and his siblings in the punk band Blackfire. At that time, they had already been making music together for twenty years.

"A dedicated and demanding proponent of #IndigenousLiberation, Klee fought on a wide range of fronts, emphasizing the importance of both concrete and spiritual forms of #resistance and critically exploring the possibility of an #IndigenousAnarchy.

"As the eulogy published by Anarchist Agency recounts,

"'Klee was living in Flagstaff, Arizona at the time of his passing. He was born October 11, 1975 in #BlackMesa and worked nearly all his life at the front lines of struggles to protect #Indigenous sacred lands. Klee was a driven organizer with projects such as #IndigenousAction Media, #Kinlani #MutualAid, and #IndigenousMutualAid. He also helped establish #TáalaHooghan Infoshop, #ProtectThePeaks, and #OuttaYourBackpackMedia, and volunteered with #HaulNo.'

"'Haul No is a campaign against #UraniumMining in the #GrandCanyon. #LandDefense struggles were especially important to Klee.

"In addition to all this, Klee was a filmmaker and musician. You can view many of Klee’s films here. In addition to his decades in Blackfire, Klee also played in the band Appropriation and recorded various solo projects."

#KleeBenally, #CulturalAdvocate and #LandDefender, dies at 48

By Kianna Joe | Dec 31, 2023

KINŁÁNÍ-DOOK’O’OOSŁÍÍD – "Klee Benally died the morning of Dec. 31, 2023. He was 48.

"Benally’s family will be having a family meeting later today to share a formal announcement of Benally’s life, according to an #IndigenousAction social media post.

"Benally was from #Dziłyíjiin, Arizona. He was from the Tódích’íi’nii and #WanderingPeople clans. He relocated to #Kinłání, where he proudly stood tall with Dook’o’oosłííd.

"In his last interview with the Navajo Times on Dec. 7, Benally credited his father, #JonesBenally, a respected and known #hataałii, who shared the #Diné traditions and culture with him.

"Klee Benally’s teachings growing up laid a foundation for who he was as a Diné and led to him fighting for the sacred Dook’o’oosłííd.

"'For Diné people, it represents a part of our cosmology and being,' Benally said on Dec. 7.
'Each mountain is a part of our creation account set forward for our boundaries, Diné Bikéyah, where we walk around.'

"Benally described the mountains as leaders that hold and share teachings for Diné.

"Countless comments from people who knew and followed Benally shared their sudden sadness but described Benally as a 'one-of-a-kind' wise son, brother, uncle, or grandpa.

"Along with fighting for sacred elements, Benally was an #artist in many mediums, writer, musician, and filmmaker.

"On Thursday, Dec. 21, Benally launched his book, '#NoSpiritualSurrender,' released in November.

"The book delves into Benally’s experience fighting for sacred places and why he does it to protect #nahasdzáán.

"Benally recounted the many times he had been #arrested in the Dec. 7 interview, along with tying himself to heavy machinery to send a message that he wasn’t going anywhere for the land’s sake.

"Benally’s work reflected his dedication and understanding of fighting for land and its #IndigenousPeoples.

"Benally worked endlessly for the community and land, which are grateful to have been protected by a dedicated Diné."
