#WinonaLaDuke: #DAPLPipeline Lawsuit Against #Greenpeace Aims to Silence #Indigenous #Protests, Too
#DemocracyNow, March 04, 2025"As the oil company Energy Transfer sues Greenpeace over the 2016 #StandingRock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, we speak with #IndigenousActivist Winona LaDuke, who took part in that historic uprising. LaDuke is an enrolled member of the Mississippi Band of #Anishinaabe who lives and works on the White Earth Nation Reservation and was among the thousands of people who joined the protests in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to protect water and Indigenous lands in North Dakota. She highlights the close links between North Dakota’s government and Energy Transfer and says that while the lawsuit targets Greenpeace, Indigenous water and land defenders are also on trial. 'North Dakota has really been trying to squash any kind of #resistance,' says LaDuke. 'If they can try to shut down Greenpeace, they’re going to shut down everybody.'"

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."

Gunman Wearing MAGA Hat Shoots #IndigenousActivist at New Mexico Protest over #Conquistador Statue
October 03, 2023
"In New Mexico, a 23-year-old gunman wearing a red MAGA hat opened fire last week on #JacobJohns and other Indigenous activists opposing plans to reinstall a statue honoring the 16th century conquistador Juan de Oñate, New Mexico’s first colonial governor. Johns, the prominent climate activist, was airlifted from Española to an Albuquerque hospital and required emergency surgery. We speak with Malaya Peixinho, who participated in Thursday’s gathering, about how the statue of the colonial leader has divided the local community. 'It is a really controversial thing to talk about #Oñate,' says Peixinho, who believes funds for the statue could go to social programs instead. 'That feels more important than funding a statue being resurrected.' The shooter, Ryan Martinez, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for shooting Johns and aiming the gun at Peixinho, who calls the charges 'fair' and blames police for not intervening. 'They didn’t show up for us,' says Peixinho."
