    #StandingRock and #Sisseton Wahpeton #Lakotas Seized by #ICE in Minnesota

    #NativeAmericans are being detained throughout the United States illegally. Protests continue after the murders of #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti by federal agents in Minneapolis.

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 25, 2026

    "The Standing Rock Lakota Nation reports that a tribal member is being detained after being seized by ICE in Minnesota. Another #Lakota, Sisseton Wahpeton #Oyate, was arrested by ICE. He was located safe, but bruised. He was standing near the site where Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was murdered by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. The Sisseton tribal member was among those present who was arrested. He was released without being charged with any crime.

    "Other witnesses standing near the site of the crime, the murder of Alex Pretti, say they fear for their lives, and have gone into hiding. Federal agents are reported hunting down the #witnesses to arrest them.

    "Northern Cheyenne President Gene Small in Montana reports back from the Minneapolis Indian community."

    #OglalaLakota President Refuses #ICE Manipulation and Deal -- as Three #Lakota Remain #Disappeared at #FortSnelling

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 15, 2026

    MINNEAPOLIS -- "ICE's violence continued on Wednesday night with another #ICEShooting. Three #Lakotas arrested by ICE remain disappeared at Fort Snelling, the long time site of the genocide of #Dakota people.

    "In the search for the three disappeared Lakotas, Oglala Lakota President #FrankStarComesOut says he refuses to cut a deal with ICE, which ICE is demanding to release more information.

    "Meanwhile, a whistleblower has leaked the secret ICE operations underway -- including the targeting of #activists, recruiting informants in jail, and 'Operation A' exploiting migrants for intelligence.

    "Both the #TohonoOodham Nation government, and #Navajo President #BuuNygren, play roles by recruiting and promoting ICE agents."

    [Thread] Unfortunately, South Dakota #HB1258 was defeated [which would have put more restrictions on #LithiumMining ]... And I knew Burgum would betray #NativeAmericans (even though he promised not to).

    ‘Unleashing American Energy’: Mining and Drilling Accelerated Under Trump Administration

    By Angelica (Angie) Solloa • February 12, 2025

    "You may have heard that #DebHaaland (Laguna Pueblo) transitioned out of her role as the US Secretary of the Department of Interior and announced her candidacy for Governor New Mexico. Her successor, former North Dakota Governor #DougBurgum, is steadfast in carrying out Trump’s Executive Order 14154 ' #UnleashingAmericanEnergy ' which aims to accelerate #mining and #drilling on federal and #TribalLands.

    "On February 3rd, Doug Burgum released this document which outlines all the revoked projects and programs intended to protect land and the people; giving a pathway for #MiningCompanies to hit the ground running across Turtle Island.

    "In the #BlackHills, the #SacredLands of the #Lakota Peoples’, mining and drilling companies aren’t hesitating to cash out. Currently, South Dakota House Bill 1258 is under consideration by the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, where it will come to a vote this Thursday, February 13th. Community members and citizens of the area were given just six days’ notice.

    WHAT IS HB 1258?

    "The passage of South Dakota House Bill 1258 would hold lithium mining to the same standards and laws as silver and gold. Under the current law, lithium mining is treated like mining for sand and gravel, and there are not enough protections for human #health, #food systems, #water, #wildlife, and the #land.

    " #HB1258 would offer more accountability and appropriate processes for mining companies that would better protect the land, the people, and the economy of the #Ȟesápa. #NDNCollective, alongside partner the #BlackHillsCleanWaterAlliance, collaborated to spread the word as fast as possible, calling on relatives to swiftly take action ahead of Thursday, February 13th."

    #Sundance2025 Lineup Highlights Powerful #Indigenous Stories, Including '#FreeLeonardPeltier’ and ‘#ElNorte'

    By Kaili Berg, December 17, 2024

    "The Sundance Institute recently unveiled the lineup for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, which will showcase 87 feature films and six episodic projects that promise daring storytelling and global perspectives.

    "Among the films in this year’s lineup are powerful portrayals of Indigenous experiences, including El Norte and Free Leonard Peltier.

    "Sundance Institute Senior Programmer Heidi Zwicker told Native News Online that the selection of films underscores diverse narratives in Native films.

    "'The films that we have this year indicate how much you can’t define what an Indigenous film should be like,' Zwicker said. 'There’s such multiplicity in the stories and worlds these filmmakers present, even within a single community.'

    "The Festival will take place from January 23 to February 2, 2025, with screenings in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as a curated online program accessible to audiences nationwide from January 30 to February 2.

    "Free Leonard Peltier, co-directed by #JesseShortBull (#Oglala #Lakota) and #DavidFrance, is a documentary that dives into the life and legacy of Leonard Peltier, a leader of the #AmericanIndianMovement who has been imprisoned for 50 years following a controversial conviction.

    "Zwicker described the film as 'rich, well-researched, and deeply emotional,' emphasizing its timeliness as Peltier’s case gains renewed attention in the fight for clemency.

    "#GregoryNava’s El Norte follows Indigneous siblings Rosa and Enrique as they flee #Guatemala after their family is murdered in a government-led massacre during the #GuatemalanCivilWar. Their journey to the U.S. becomes a struggle for survival amid the realities of #immigrant life.

    "Profits from ticket sales directly support Sundance Institute’s year-round initiatives, including labs, residencies, fellowships, and educational programs through Sundance Collab. These programs empower thousands of artists annually.

    "Sundance’s Indigenous Program, led by #AdamPiron (#Kiowa / #Mohawk), is a vital part of this mission, providing ongoing support to #NativeFilmmakers."

    Es sind ganz andere Töne, die der Verein zur Unterstützung indianischer Jugend-, Kultur- und Menschenrechtsprojekte & LPSG (Tokata-LPSG RheinMain e. V.) dieser Tage zu dem indianischen Aktivisten und Langzeitgefangenen Leonard #Peltier vernimmt. Und das, obwohl das FBI sich weiterhin in einem »emotionsgesteuerten Rachefeldzug« gegen den indigenen früheren Aktivisten befindet, so die ehemalige #FBI-Mitarbeiterin Coleen Rowley. Der amtierende FBI-Direktor Christopher Wray bezeichnet den Langzeitgefangenen nach wie vor als »unbarmherzigen Mörder«, ohne dass es bis heute belastbare Beweise für eine Schuld Peltiers an der Erschießung zweier FBI-Agenten 1975 gibt.

    Die Stimmen anlässlich von Peltiers 80. Geburtstag kommen aus »dem anderen Amerika«. Sie zeichnen das Bild jenes Mannes, der für die einen ein brutaler, kaltherziger und reueloser Killer ist und für die anderen ein Nelson #Mandela. Im Folgenden zitieren wir aus Statements, Kommentaren, aber auch Gebeten für den politischen Gefangenen. Sie sind vor allem gekennzeichnet durch Achtung, Respekt, Dankbarkeit und dem Wunsch nach Freiheit.

    Mitch Walking Elk, #Cheyenne-#Arapaho, Musiker, Autor und Aktivist des American Indian Movement (AIM): »Leonards fortgesetzte Inhaftierung zeigt wie unter einem Mikroskop die Behandlung der #Ureinwohner dieses Landes durch die US-Regierung … Wir segnen dich für dein Leben und unterstützen dich in deiner Freiheit. Danke, Leonard.«

    Wade Fernandez, Menominee, Musiker: »Ich weiß, dass Leonard innerhalb der Gefängnismauern einigen jungen Menschen als Mentor dienen konnte, aber jedes Enkelkind sollte die Freiheit haben, an der Seite seines Großvaters auf diesem Land zu wandeln. Bringt Leonard nach Hause.«

    Keith Rabin, Aktivist: »Wir können nie genug für all das tun, was er uns gegeben hat.«

    Berta Benally, Musikerin, Aktivistin, Mutter der #Navajo-Musiker von #Blackfire & #Sihasin: »Lieber Leonard, es ist sehr traurig, dass du immer noch im Gefängnis sitzt, aber du bist mit deinen schönen Worten eine Inspiration für uns alle. Ich danke dir.«

    Mato is’na’la, #Lakota-Aktivist: »Leonard war sehr bodenständig, optimistisch, positiv, fürsorglich, unterstützend und durchsetzungsfähig. Er ist ein traditioneller Krieger, der das Gewicht der Ungerechtigkeiten, des Chaos, der Opfer unseres Volkes ohne Zögern auf sich nahm, mit dem Wunsch zu helfen.«

    Henry Red Cloud, #Oglala-Lakota-Chief, Umweltaktivist: »Leonard ist seit fast fünfzig Jahren unschuldig inhaftiert. Nun wird er 80 und sollte sofort freikommen, damit er seine restliche Lebenszeit noch mit Familie, Freunden und vor allem seinen Enkeln verbringen kann.«

    Dawn Lawson, Leonard Peltier Official Ad Hoc Committee: »Hinter Gittern hat er mehr für die indigenen Gemeinschaften getan, als sich die meisten Menschen je hätten träumen lassen. Er ist besorgt über den anhaltenden Völkermord an seinem Volk … Er macht sich Sorgen, dass Mutter Erde zerstört wird und sie den Ureinwohnern mehr Land nehmen, weil sie die Ressourcen nutzen wollen.«

    The #AmericanBuffalo
    A New Documentary from #KenBurns Now Streaming

    "The American #Buffalo, a new two-part, four-hour series, takes viewers on a journey through more than 10,000 years of North American history and across some of the continent’s most iconic landscapes, tracing the animal’s evolution, its significance to the #IndigenousPeople and landscape of the #GreatPlains, its near extinction, and the efforts to bring the magnificent mammals back from the brink.

    "For thousands of generations, buffalo (species #bison bison) have evolved alongside #IndigenousPeople who relied on them for food and shelter, and, in exchange for killing them, revered the animal. The stories of Native people anchor the series, including the #Kiowa, #Comanche, and #Cheyenne of the Southern Plains; the #Lakota, #Salish, #Kootenai, #Mandan-#Hidatsa, and #Blackfeet from the Northern Plains; and others."
