#Montana - #StoneChildCollege dedicates new #FlourMill
by Tim McGonigal, Sep 24, 2025
BOX ELDER — "A flour mill nearly a decade in the making was officially dedicated at Stone Child College on the #RockyBoyReservation on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, marking a significant milestone for tribal #FoodSovereignty and health initiatives.
"Tribal and state leaders joined agricultural experts for the ribbon cutting ceremony, celebrating the completion of a project that faced several delays, including disruptions from COVID.
"#BigSandy organic farmer Bob Quinn collaborated with tribal stakeholders to secure the grant funding that made the mill possible. Quinn specializes in ancient #KamutWheat, which is now being grown on the reservation and serves as the primary ingredient for the mill's flour production.
"The flour mill represents more than just agricultural infrastructure for the community. Leaders hope the locally-produced flour will contribute to improved health outcomes on the reservation, where #diabetes and other diet-related health issues are growing concerns.
"The project demonstrates the potential for tribal communities to develop #sustainable food systems that address both economic development and public health challenges through locally-controlled #agriculture.
" 'So we're able to actually grow it, bring it in, mill it, and now we're developing the food chain around it and getting it into the schools and getting it into the commodity program and into the lodge and to the casino. Any place where there's food distribution, we should be there with our with our food. And so #Kamut flour is just, one of the value added products that we're doing,' said Jason Belcourt, #RockyBoy Sustainability Coordinator."

In the Dirty Business of Faking Green, a Third #Arizona Tribe Sues #DebHaaland for Desecration
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
August 13, 2024"In the dirty business of faking #GreenEnergy, Interior Department head Deb Haaland is being sued by the #Hualapai Tribe for approval of a #LithiumMine targeting their #SacredSpring. It is the same lithium mine where an Australian company has hired the head of a #NavajoNation enterprise to lead the drilling for lithium and violating the sacred.
"Deb Haaland, #LagunaPueblo, is now being sued by three tribes in Arizona for ongoing destruction of religious and historic places, sacred places where #TohonoOodham, #SanCarlosApache , and Hualapai have offered their prayers since time immemorial.
"In the lawsuit, Hualapai tell of the drilling for lithium, and the way the Interior's Bureau of Land Management concealed the plans for the lithium mine."
[...]
"The Tohono O'odham and San Carlos Apache Nations filed for a restraining order on Haaland, which was denied by a Tucson federal judge, but the tribes continue the legal battle. Haaland, present at the groundbreaking of #PatternEnergy's wind project, is promoting the #SunZia transmission line to take wind energy from New Mexico to California, now cutting a path of destruction across pristine regions of the Southwest. Pattern Energy in San Francisco is owned by the #CanadaPensionFund.
"The mainstream media is also concealing the fact that the CEO of the #NavajoNation enterprise which claims to be transitioning to green energy is heading the project to desecrate Hualapai's sacred ceremonial place. The so-called #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany also owns #CoalMines in Wyoming and Montana.
"The Navajo Transitional Energy Company stated in March that it had signed the mining agreement and its CEO #Vern Lund would lead the mining operation for the Australian company."
