  1. Traditional #Wojapi Recipe – #NativeAmerican Berry Sauce Made Simple

    By Corinne Griffith
    June 4, 2025

    "Wojapi (pronounced WO-jah-pee) is a cherished Native American berry sauce rooted in #Lakota and #Dakota traditions. Made from wild berries and gently sweetened, this rich, velvety sauce was traditionally served with fry bread but today pairs beautifully with pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, and even ice cream.Dairy & Eggs

    "Whether you’re exploring Indigenous cuisine for the first time or rekindling a family favorite, this simple recipe is a perfect introduction to the beauty of ancestral cooking.

    Why I Love This Recipe

    "There’s a deep simplicity and warmth to Wojapi that makes it feel like a hug in sauce form. It’s naturally sweet, full of bold berry flavor, and comes together in minutes using fresh or frozen fruit. What I love most is that it’s endlessly versatile—use it as a topping, a dip, or even a glaze.

    "It’s the kind of recipe you can make in one pot, with five ingredients or fewer, and still have something that feels rich with history and meaning. It has the same joyful, flexible vibe as Caramel Apple Nachos, but with deep cultural roots.

    Ingredients

    - 2 cups fresh or frozen berries
    (traditional choices: #blueberries, #chokecherries, or #blackberries)
    - 1/2 cup water
    - 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
    - 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker consistency)
    - 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

    Optional Swaps & Tips

    - Sweeteners: Maple syrup adds a subtle woodsy note, but honey is more traditional in some versions.
    - Berries: Mix and match what you have. #Raspberries and #strawberries work too, but for authenticity, lean toward wild berries.
    Cornstarch: Skip it for a thinner, more rustic sauce. Use it if you want a pudding-like consistency.
    Citrus: A touch of lemon juice balances the sweetness and brings out the berry flavors."

  3. #Minneapolis: #Dakota and #Lakota #Oyate Set Up Lodges Outside #WhippleBuilding

    By #NiskíthePrayerCamp, #CensoredNews, Feb. 10, 2026

    "Niskíthe Prayer Camp is honored to have been asked to share our tipis for this endeavor and we plan to work to supply our Dakota relatives in Minneapolis with supplies that they will need to continue this occupation and fulfill their demands for the return of #FortSnelling.

    "Despite being visited yesterday by both state park rangers and Minneapolis police, our Dakota relatives survived their first night in the tipi encampment at Fort Snelling, a former internment (read 'concentration') camp for Indigenous people upon which the federal #ICE detention center in the Whipple Building is now situated. The Dakota want it back, and we plan to help them!

    The Red Lake Nation said, 'The Dakota and Lakota Oyate have set up lodges outside the Whipple Building.' "

  4. Dispatches from Joye: The Beginning of #Resistance to #DakotaAccessPipeline, Spring of 2016

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 25, 2025

    MANDAN, North Dakota -- "We travel back in time to the beginning of the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. Jury selection is underway in the case of #EnergyTransfer v #Greenpeace and #RedWarriorSociety, and oral arguments are to begin tomorrow, in #NorthDakota District Court.

    "Energy Transfer, the owner of Dakota Access Pipeline, seeks to erase the fact that this is, and has always been, an #Indigenous-led movement, Greenpeace said.

    "On March 29, 2016 -- five months before hundreds, and then thousands arrived at the Standing Rock camps -- #JoyeBraun, #CheyenneRiverLakota, sent Censored News the announcement of the resistance.

    "'It must be stopped,' Joye said in the media statement.

    "#LaDonnaBravebullAllard, working then in the #StandingRock #HistoricPreservationOffice, released the statement with Joye.

    "The headline read, 'Tribal Citizens Rise Up Against #BakkenOilPipeline: #HorseRide and #SpiritualCamp to be Held Along Proposed Route of Dakota Access Pipeline.'

    "With the dateline of Cannonball, the statement says, 'On April 1st, 2016, tribal citizens of the #StandingRockLakota Nation and ally #Lakota, #Nakota, and #Dakota citizens, under the group name
    Chante tin'sa kinanzi Po will have a #HorseRide to celebrate the founding of a #SpiritCamp that will be erected along the proposed route of the Bakken oil pipeline, Dakota Access."

  5. South Dakota governor’s cabinet nomination raises tribal concerns

    Secretary of #HomelandSecurity nominee #KristiNoem has a long, complicated history with tribes in South Dakota.

    Amelia Schafer
    Nov 15, 2024

    RAPID CITY, S.D. – "Early Tuesday morning, news broke that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, a decision that’s raised red flags for Native people in South Dakota, but also may provide an avenue for change.

    "'We need to come together now, more than ever,' Oglala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out said during a public intertribal meeting Nov. 13. 'I’m hoping we have a better governor in South Dakota that will work with us because we have issues that we need to bring to the table with the state.'

    "Noem made South Dakota history earlier in May when she was banished from every reservation in the state following disparaging remarks made regarding alleged cartel activity on reservations and about Indian education. At one point Noem alleged tribal governments benefit from cartel presence and are failing their youth.

    "During a May press conference, Noem responded to the banishments by asking why tribes 'don’t ban the cartels.' She’s banned from all nine reservations in the state: the #PineRidge, #CheyenneRiver, #StandingRock, #LowerBrule, #Rosebud, #LakeTraverse, #CrowCreek, #Flandreau and #Yankton reservations. Standing Rock and Lake Traverse both span into North Dakota."

    [...]

    "Emergency management is another area where Noem and the #OcetiSakowin (#Lakota, #Nakota, #Dakota nations have struggled.

    "In December 2022, the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations were crippled by an extreme winter storm. Unable to get wood or propane, some households resorted to burning clothes and furniture to stay warm. A 12-year-old Sicangu Lakota boy, Honor Beauvais, died during the storm on the Rosebud Reservation, along with three other tribal citizens.

    "When banning the governor, the #RosebudSioux tribe cited a delayed emergency declaration from Noem. Noem did not activate the South Dakota National Guard until Dec. 22, nearly 10 days after the storm began.

    "The council also cited concerns with Noem’s support of the #KeystoneXL [#KXL] Pipeline in 2019 and an increase in penalties for pipeline protestors, referenced Noem’s opposition of #COVID19 checkpoints on the Pine Ridge and Cheyenne River Reservations, removal of teaching standards regarding #NativeAmericanHistory, legal threats to the #FlandreauSanteeSioux Tribe regarding its #MedicalCannabis operations and return of unused Emergency Rental Assistance funds in 2022 without consulting tribes."

  6. 132 Jahre Massaker am Wounded Knee

    Heute vor 131 Jahren, am 29. Dezember 1890 wurden Spotted Elk, auch bekannt als Chief Big Foot und zwischen 150 und 400 Menschen seines Stammes, der #Mniconjou #Lakota, zumeist Frauen, Kinder und Alte massakriert.

    14 Jahre zuvor wurde eben diese Armeeeinheit unter dem Kommando von General #Custer durch die vereinigten Stämmen der #Lakota, #Arapaho und #Cheyenne am Little Big Horn River aufgerieben.

    Seit dem 23. Dezember 1990 findet in Gedenken an das #Massaker ein Ritt auf derselben Route statt, die Chief Big Foots Stamm 1890 nahmen.

    Beginnend im Jahr 1986 wurde jedes Jahr der Si Tanka Wokiksuye (Big Foot Memorial Ride) als Erinnerung an die tragischen Ereignisse, die Chief Bigfoot und seinem Stamm bei Wounded Knee am 29. Dezember 1890 widerfuhr, was heute als das Massaker am Wounded Knee gekannt ist.

    Der Ritt ist für die teilnehmenden Menschen der Lakota, #Dakota, der #Nakota und weiterer Stämme ein spirituelles Unternehmen eine zeremonielle Voraussetzung dafür, die Tränen der Trauer um verlorene Angehörige und Freunde abwischen zu können. Ebenso wird damit um Stärke für die kommenden 7 Generationen, das traditionelle Leben weiterführen zu können, gebetet.

    Damit verbunden erhoffen sich die Teilnehmer, dass es nie wieder zu einem Wounded Knee kommt...
