  2. Making hostile spaces The dispersal of non consumers

    * At an intersection of numerous car parks, retail industry and an amusement industrial complex in Coffs Harbour there is a small green space with benches and birds. People and birds rest there and have their lunch.

    Some time ago the amusement & drink giant piped ongoing unpleasant, loud music over the small green island and the abundant car parks.

    The intention of the outdoor speakers distributing noise pollution is/was to engage in then 'dispersal' of ‘loitering' non customers.

    This loud and repetitive ‘music’ is also known as "aggressive" or "defensive" architecture. This design in mostly public spaces is intended as a form of 'organised abandonment' (Ruth Wilson Gilmore) of the poor and the unhoused.

    Often the exclusionary design acoustic ('steady-state spam’) is combined with other anti homeless devices (anti-homeless spikes furniture) which function to keep members of the public out of public spaces.

    With increasing inequality, that is non spending consumers, the system is increasingly employing hostile practices. Privately owned public spaces such as walkways, plazas, arcades and small parks have to ensure the safety of their customers and staff. Non-consumers have no place in this scheme.

    * "Woolworths has installed outdoor speakers at its Darwin city store to play the supermarket's 'Fresh Food People' jingle on repeat in a bid to deter loitering.” >>

    * "The NSW Police Force is currently running an Australian-first trial in Moree (an area with a high Indigenous population) using rooftop drones to "fight crime" in the area, controlled by people hundreds of kilometres away at Bankstown Airport." >>

  3. Mowing down children and the racist feeding frenzy that followed.
    Alabama in the 1930s?

    "* Two children, who were riding a motorised pushbike and left with serious injuries, were allegedly pursued and mowed down by 56-year-old Gol Gol man Andrew Brien.."

    "Mr Brien allegedly pursued the children through the pedestrian-only mall in the belief they were involved in vandalism at his partner's real estate business. However, the court heard the children were "blameless" of any offending on the night."

    "The amount and volume of racist and violent comments surged after the incident, with hundreds of social media posts laying blame on the boys and praising the driver."

    "The act alone was shocking, but what followed on social media revealed a distressing and damaging ugliness...What we've seen lately in terms of social media is that anger is coming out in really primal responses, in ideas and thoughts and beliefs which do not have a place in a civilised society."

    "It is not OK to hurt children. It is never OK to hurt children. It's not OK to call this man a hero."

    "No-one should see violence against their children or community being celebrated or joked about...I don't want to see comments that I think would be better placed in 1930s Alabama". >>

    * "A 24-year-old hit and run driver who injured two pedestrians, one of them fatally, sped away and then bragged about it to his friends has been spared jail time in Darwin."

  4. Seasonal Food Clinics & Tribal Health Blueprint for Maine

    The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians could turn autumn surplus into a year‑round health asset. Two‑week harvest clinics would let members preserve produce, receive dietary counseling, and complete wellness screens, creating winter food boxes for elders and a data set for diabetes‑related cost reductions.

  5. Seasonal One‑Stop Health Intake for the Nulhegan Band

    The Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation holds state‑recognized reservation land in Barton, Vermont, a rural corner of the Northeast Kingdom where the nearest hospital is often a thirty‑minute drive & public transportation is scarce.

  6. Unseen Japan: Hokkaido University Apologizes for a Century of Ainu Remains Research. “On July 27, 2026, Hokkaido University issued its first-ever proper apology for a prewar research program. The medical school collected and studied more than 1,000 sets of Ainu remains. The university expressed that the work ‘deeply wounded the dignity of the Ainu people.'”

  7. Nevada Water Wealth: A Sovereignty Lever
    Fort McDermitt sits on the Quinn River watershed, but its water rights are unquantified.
    Tribal offices are siloed—resources, development, culture—so no unified plan.
    Hostile state law and slow quantification lawsuits stall water security.

  8. Cultural Compact: Abenaki Arts Cooperative Boost

    The Abenaki Nation can harness the state’s forest‑based craft scene by forming a tribal cooperative that aggregates orders for fibers, kiln services, and marketing tools, securing bulk discounts and shared logistics to link cultural production with sovereign land‑revenue.

  9. Watershed Data Sovereignty as Tribal Sovereignty Infrastructure — A Proposal for the Klamath Tribes

    The Klamath Tribes in southern Oregon command some of the most senior water rights in the Upper Klamath Basin, yet they lack the institutional infrastructure to turn those legal entitlements into economic or political power.

  10. #Indigenous at the #UnitedNations Expose #AIDatacenters and Racially-Biased #Misinformation

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, July 14, 2026

    GENEVA -- "The mediocre, middle-of-the-road approach to #AI at the United Nations was countered by testimony today from #IndigenousPeoples pointing out that #ArtificialIntelligence is not a solution, and is doing great harm to Indigenous with derogatory misinformation and massive #datacenters that are poisoning the #land, #water and #air.

    "#JaimieWilliams, #MiamiNation in #Indiana, speaking on behalf of the Society of Native Nations, at the U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, responded to the A.I. summary presented this morning. Williams said the summary does not reflect the true impact of artificial intelligence, particularly in the way the technology is powered.

    " 'AI data centers are rapidly being constructed on the land of Indigenous Peoples without free, prior and #InformedConsent from us.'

    " 'My people came out of the water, the #SaintJosephRiver in the southeast of #LakeMichigan, along that river there are several data centers,' she said, pointing out that Indigenous across #TurtleIsland share similar stories.

    " 'These sacred waterways and lands are being used for A.I. data centers.'

    " 'I was once convinced artificial intelligence could help my tribe build our language and culture, but AI is not a sustainable solution.'

    " 'There is currently no available technology available to power A.I. without poisoning the water, drying up the rivers and causing further contamination in the territories of Indigenous Peoples, who are already disproportionately affected.' "

  12. Salt Lake Tribune: New database unlocks the history of an LDS congregation unlike any other. “From 1880 to 1966, more than a thousand of these Indigenous members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints found ways to blend their Native identities with the young faith. In doing so, they left behind thousands of records — photos, letters, maps, personal histories and more — now all […]

  13. From Gold Rush to Green Rush
    The environmental consequences of cannabis cultivation

    * "Professor Kaitlin Reed (Yurok/Hupa/Oneida) argues that the state's booming cannabis industry can be situated squarely within other extractive settler colonial enterprises such as gold mining and overfishing."

    “The real gold is not gold, after all, but the land itself”

    Kaitlin P. Reed, "Settler Cannabis: From Gold Rush to Green Rush in Indigenous Northern California" (U Washington Press, 2023) >>
    read.dukeupress.edu/agricultur

    * Reed "connects California cannabis production to the violence and dispossession of Indigenous land and people."

    "Young countercultural back-to-the-land settlers flocked to northwestern California beginning in the 1960s, and by the 1970s, unregulated cannabis production proliferated on Indigenous lands."

University of Alberta: U of A linguist collaborates with community to preserve endangered language. “The structure of Sáliba, an Indigenous language spoken in Colombia, is still not well understood. But a number of audio recordings that include narratives, songs and procedural texts — along with handwritten annotations — made by Colombian linguist Jon Landaburu in the late 1960s could help […]
