Personally, I'd love to see #LandBack here in "New England", especially #Maine (#Wabanakik / #Dawnland). I don't have a problem with NOT polluting #MotherEarth, or having to abide by #Wabanaki laws. I know what the #WabanakiAlliance is all about and fully support their decisions and governance.

Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?
by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025
"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.
"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.
"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.
"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.
"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.
"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

#OnionLake #CreeNation to proceed with its legal challenge of #Alberta sovereignty act
By Lisa Johnson The Canadian Press, May 15, 2025
EDMONTON - "Alberta’s bill lowering the bar for a separation referendum has spurred a #FirstNation to push ahead with a legal challenge against the premier’s flagship sovereignty act.
"Danielle Smith has said her Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act is needed to push back on what the province believes is unconstitutional federal encroachment into provincial jurisdiction.
"But Onion Lake Cree Nation Chief #HenryLewis said that law has always been about undermining federal authority and asserting provincial control, which goes against his community’s #Treaty6 relationship with the Crown." 'I want to respectfully remind the premier that this land that we stand on today is #Treaty land and is not yours to take or make sweeping decisions about,” he said at a news conference in Edmonton on Thursday.
"He announced the legal challenge is moving forward a day after Smith’s government passed a bill significantly lowering the threshold for citizens to prompt a referendum, including one on seceding from Canada."

Albertans Could Soon Vote on Whether to Separate From Canada. Here’s What to Know
by Chantelle Lee, May 5, 2026
"Many Albertans have slammed the federal Liberal government for blocking #pipeline projects and canceling oil and gas projects. The province’s economy is largely driven by its #OilAndGas extraction, as well as #mining and #quarrying."

#micCheck and a BIG #askfedi for my next Replicate project.
Tangata whenua, Traditional Owners, Turtle Island, Sámi, Palestinian, Gàidheal, and all cousins from all parts are wanted to lend a voice to a track on an upcoming project. The track will be an aggressive cover and adaptation of a classic and scathing #hiphop ripper.
Helpful if you are but you need not be a singer or a rapper or a musician. Just keen to speak, rap or yell a word, or a line, or a verse in any tongue. We'll build the production to accommodate. Caveat, or feature not a bug, it will be updated for the times to be as very #fuckGenocide, #fuckTechBros, #fuckAI, #landback as we need it to be.
Calling any and all first peoples and carriers of colonisation, removals, enslaved, language shift, and oppressed generational trauma for a bit of #camaraderie and hopefully fun and cathartic sonic resistance.
I realise much fedi discourse skews VERY heavily to the so called "global north" but would be amazed and delighted if we could link up with some cousins outside the dominant echo chamber. I am 100% welcoming VIP clicktivism in this instance.
DM for more details if you are keen.
Urram, whakarangatira, vrakkueckv!

*I think Eby's the current, problematic BC politician in Premier power role. The core problem is that #BCNDP haven't really respected #IndigenousRights for a long time. Their caucus became too whipped under Horgan & that's continued under Eby - who was groomed by the former neoliberal in charge of BC policies.*
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs says the NDP has a “colossal” leadership problem, and if it doesn’t move on from Premier David Eby, the party could be doomed for decades. “I think the problem is Premier Eby,” he said at a Friday morning news conference in Vancouver held by Indigenous leaders opposed to a proposed suspension of parts of the Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples Act (DRIPA).
Phillip spoke alongside the #FirstNations Leadership Council, which is made up of members of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, the First Nations Summit and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. The groups held a joint news conference in Vancouver on Friday (April 10), slamming the B.C. NDP government’s DRIPA suspension plan, a move the council had called a “unilateral betrayal” on Thursday. #DRIPA is a 2019 B.C. law that formally commits the province to aligning its laws with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ( #UNDRIP ), which affirms the right to #SelfDetermination for #Indigenous peoples worldwide.

So, yes, it is a little bit of a Judy Tenuta* but not a BIG one...
And consider:
Ending the occupations includes arms for the Palestinians, eventually
And then it's bye bye #settlements and #landback and #RiteOfReturn
*It could happen -

And what set me off? The cuts to the #ForestService! Don't get me wrong. I'm angry about a lot of what #TrumpSucks does. But this... Selling off that which does not belong to #Colonists to begin with... If it were up to me, I'd give all of the #LandBack to its rightful caretakers!

March 24, 2026: "This show features Evan Richert and Roger Milliken Jr., two longtime leaders in land use, planning, and conservation in Maine.
"They took a close look at the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act to answer a key question: who is right—the State or the #WabanakiNations?
"Their conclusion is clear—the Wabanaki Nations’ interpretation is correct, and the State’s position deserves closer scrutiny.
"We’ll talk about what they found, why Maine stands apart on Tribal sovereignty, and what it means for the future of justice in our state."

#LNG : Not in Our National Interest National Campaign Launch
📅 Tuesday, March 31, 2026
🕓 4:00 PM PT/ 7:00 PM ET
📍 Zoom Webinar
https://act.stand.earth/s/4775242/6bS5o8MM
[ We’re in pretty wild times right now. In the midst of global turmoil and another oil war, our Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing hard to fast-track new fossil fuel megaprojects.
Foreign investors are pitching LNG exports as an economic cure-all for Canada. But if LNG is such an economic engine, why do they need billions of our public dollars?
That’s why we’re starting a new national campaign to pressure Prime Minister Carney and his key ministers to stop the government from giving billions more of our taxpayer money to dirty energy megaprojects that mostly benefit foreign billionaires. We want the government to start to fund the clean, renewable economy instead
You’ll hear from movement leaders and experts to learn why these foreign-owned, high-cost projects will raise energy prices at home and harm Indigenous reconciliation. Showcasing how much better the clean, renewable economy is on every measure.
We’ll also share details of exciting in-person actions happening across the country for the Week of Action in mid-April. This is our chance to tell the Carney government that Canadians say NO to more free money for big polluters, and YES to funding the clean energy economy.]

#WabanakiAlliance: Spring 2026 Update
by #MaulianBryant, #PenobscotNation Citizen
March 27, 2026"We want to share some of the powerful stories highlighting our work since January. From the halls of the State House to #Maliseet homelands in #HoultonME, the movement for #Wabanaki #sovereignty is growing stronger every day.
Advocacy in Action
We recently held a Lobby Day focused on two critical pieces of legislation:#LD785: Restoring tribal self-government.
#LD395: Ensuring #WabanakiNations have access to future federal laws.The bills have since been amended and, while they do not represent the original form, the Chiefs agreed the amendment from the governor’s office provided for incremental but important movement forward.
[...]
We remain committed to ensuring that people across our homelands now called Maine understand why it is vital that Wabanaki Nations are no longer treated differently than the other 570+ federally recognized tribes."

I hate the constitution because they were never “the people” it was always crap from treaty-breakers. You don’t write “we the people” if you’re NOT the people.

From 2022: #NSW Police Use #AntProtest Laws to Monitor Tour Groups
by Paul Gregoire & Ugur Nedim,13 Oct 2022
Excerpt: "#SilencingDissent
"Back in 2014, then NSW premier Mike Baird told a NSW mining industry dinner that his government was going to 'crackdown' on those who choose to break the law when they protest. And he singled out '#protesters who unlawfully enter #mining sites.'
"A little over a year later, the Coalition government followed through with the premier’s promise when it passed a series of harsh #AntiProtestLaws, under the Inclosed Lands, Crimes and Law Enforcement Legislation Amendment (Interference) Bill 2016.
"The legislation created the new offence of aggravated unlawful entry on inclosed lands. Section 4B of the #InclosedLand Protection Act 1901 provides that interfering, or attempts to interfere, with the conduct of a business on enclosed land can land a #protester with a fine of up to $5,500.
"Under the provisions of the bill, police were provided with additional powers to stop, search, detain, and seize the property of protesters, as well as being given the power to shutdown a peaceful protest if it is #ObstructingTraffic.
"And the bill also inserted a definition of #mine into section 201 of the #CrimesAct 1900, so that the offence of interfering with a mine includes #coal seam #gas exploration and extraction sites. This offence carries a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment.
"The #WilpinjongThree
"Bev Smiles, Bruce Hughes and Stephanie Luce are the first people to be up on protesting charges since the laws were changed. In April last year, the three were arrested for protesting outside the #Wilpinjong #CoalMine in #Wollar.
"The three are up on charges of rendering a road belonging to a mine useless and hindering the working equipment belonging to a mine. These are both offences that carry the penalty of seven years imprisonment.
"When the trio appeared at Mudgee Local Court on February 9, the presiding magistrate rejected police claims that the Wollar-Ulan Road, where the defendants were arrested, actually belonged to the mining company.
" 'They have pleaded not guilty, and are awaiting a judgment on the case,' Mr Phillips explained. 'The outcome of that case will be important.” If the three have 'the book thrown at them' then it’s likely to discourage the protesting of coal mines in NSW."

"When the trio appeared at Mudgee Local Court on February 9, the presiding magistrate rejected police claims that the Wollar-Ulan Road, where the defendants were arrested, actually belonged to the mining company.
" 'They have pleaded not guilty, and are awaiting a judgment on the case,' Mr Phillips explained. 'The outcome of that case will be important.” If the three have 'the book thrown at them' then it’s likely to discourage the protesting of coal mines in NSW."

From 2022: #NSW Police Use #AntProtest Laws to Monitor Tour Groups
by Paul Gregoire & Ugur Nedim,13 Oct 2022
Excerpt: "#SilencingDissent
"Back in 2014, then NSW premier Mike Baird told a NSW mining industry dinner that his government was going to 'crackdown' on those who choose to break the law when they protest. And he singled out '#protesters who unlawfully enter #mining sites.'
"A little over a year later, the Coalition government followed through with the premier’s promise when it passed a series of harsh #AntiProtestLaws, under the Inclosed Lands, Crimes and Law Enforcement Legislation Amendment (Interference) Bill 2016.
"The legislation created the new offence of aggravated unlawful entry on inclosed lands. Section 4B of the #InclosedLand Protection Act 1901 provides that interfering, or attempts to interfere, with the conduct of a business on enclosed land can land a #protester with a fine of up to $5,500.
"Under the provisions of the bill, police were provided with additional powers to stop, search, detain, and seize the property of protesters, as well as being given the power to shutdown a peaceful protest if it is #ObstructingTraffic.
"And the bill also inserted a definition of #mine into section 201 of the #CrimesAct 1900, so that the offence of interfering with a mine includes #coal seam #gas exploration and extraction sites. This offence carries a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment.

Well, well... It seems #JanetMills is feeling the heat since #GrahamPlatner has made it very clear that he supports #Maine's #FirstNations!
#WabanakiNations, Mills are finding common ground
In the final chapter of the governor’s administration, she and tribal leaders are making progress on tribal priorities
Reuben M. Schafir, February 19, 2026
AUGUSTA — "#Wabanaki tribal leaders, state lawmakers and Gov. Janet Mills might not be entirely on the same page. But they’re reading the same book.
"Lawmakers on the Judiciary Committee heard from tribal leaders and their allies Thursday during a hearing on two bills that address the applicability of #FederalIndianLaw in Maine.
"Statements made by tribal chiefs and Mills’ representative hint at a tone shift in the ongoing dialogue between the tribes and the governor.
"Both bills are sponsored by Sen. #RachelTalbotRoss, D-Portland, and would make federal Indian law broadly applicable to the Wabanaki Nations. #LD785 would also make other changes recommended in 2020 by a task force of lawmakers and tribal leaders, including repealing restrictions on tribal land acquisition and the expansion of tribal authority over hunting and fishing on their lands."

This story has it all...! Alleged egalitarian vegan collectives, #WhiteNationalist con artists, amateur pornographers, confrontations with #Indigenous people... Wow! Posting some excerpts, but one should read the whole article...
White Nationalist leader in #Arkansas accused of #LandSwindle, attempted murder
by Jacqueline Froelich February 6, 2026
"#PeterCsere makes his living developing private intentional communities. In 2016 in #ElPangui, #Ecuador, he helped establish #FruitHavenEcovillage, a vegan decentralized egalitarian consensus-based collective carved into the edge of an Amazon rainforest.
"Seven years later, in 2023, Csere fled Fruit Haven, chased by allegations that he took others’ money with him. Csere has since broken ground on a controversial new #WhitesOnly development in the #Arkansas #Ozarks branded Return to the Land, currently occupied by a few dozen followers. He and partner #EricOrwoll, a California native and amateur #pornographer, purchased 160 acres of raw property in rural Sharp County to construct their prototype #WhiteNationalist compound. The private membership association last year drew international media attention, public condemnation and great admiration from #Extremist brethren.
[...]
"The most serious allegation cited by Fruit Haven residents is that Csere physically attacked members of the #ShuarNation, an #Amazonian #indigenous tribe, in a dispute over llegal mining. The #Shuar were panning for gold along a stream on Fruit Haven property, which they claim is their original tribal land base.
"According to Frost, Csere, by that point, had begun to dress in 'military-style clothing' and had become increasingly confrontational with locals.
[...]
“Members from the white nationalist and #WhiteIdentitarian community have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund #ReturnTotheLand projects in Arkansas including tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees,' Russell said. 'Yet there is no evidence that money is being used as promised. This is not a misunderstanding — it is deliberate donor deception.' "

#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.' "

I am a native Malaysian person, specifically from the Sabah region. It seems that, although I am a native of this land, it feels like nothing belongs to me here. Capitalists and cronies own the land; our rights to electricity are being denied, and our voices are constantly suppressed or harassed.

#IndigenousActor #ElaineMiles says #ICE called her #TribalID ‘fake’
By Kai Uyehara, Nov. 27, 2025 at 6:00 am Updated Nov. 28, 2025 at 6:12 pm
"Elaine Miles was walking to a bus stop in Redmond to go to Target, she said, when four men wearing masks and vests with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement label stepped out of two black SUVs with no front plates and pressed her for her ID.
"Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in '#NorthernExposure,' '#SmokeSignals,' '#Wyvern' and '#TheLast OfUs,' handed them her tribal ID from the #ConfederatedTribesOfTheUmatilla Indian Reservation in #Oregon.
"Federal government agencies recognize tribal ID as a valid form of identification, and Miles has used it to travel back and forth to Canada and Mexico without any issues.
"Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it 'fake.'
" 'Anyone can make that,' she recalled another agent saying.
"Reported encounters between immigration agents and Indigenous people like Miles’ remain rare [BULLSHIT!]. But as immigration enforcement has gotten more aggressive, including in the Seattle area, incidents like Miles’ are stoking fears beyond immigrant communities.
"Miles said her son and uncle were both detained by ICE agents who initially did not accept their tribal IDs before they were eventually let go.
" 'What we’re talking about here is #RacialProfiling,' said Seattle-based Indigenous rights attorney Gabriel Galanda, who does not represent Miles. 'People are getting pulled over or detained on the street because of the dark color of their skin.' "
