"if this is the season to harvest
we harvest what we have grown
our teethe like daggers
our nails sharpened on stoneour enemies surround us
there is a symmetry in this cycle
the land and the seasons
are weapons of our survivalin this war there are more than two sides
can’t you see the the blood in my eyes?we’ve gone to war with empty hands before
like thousands of arrows, lightening crashing down
we’ve gone to war with empty hands before
with darkness and mother earth, we stand this sacred ground…in this war there are more than two sides
can’t you see the the blood in my eyes?"from The Unsustainable Sessions, released November 26, 2019

Statement from #JacobJohns about the plea deal, saying:
"'This was a #HateCrime. This is a continuation of #colonial violence. Unfortunately, this criminal process is reflective of the systemic #WhiteSupremacy that Indigenous peoples face. The shooter motivated by hatred got 9.5 years, but will actually be in prison for half that time. Just imagine if I shot a person at a MAGA rally or a Christian prayer service I’d be put away for life. And all we were doing was having a peaceful sunrise ceremony – we went there to pray and our prayers were answered because the Oñate statue still does not stand.
"We live in a sick society where a man with a MAGA hat would come with a loaded gun and commit political and racial violence; though the police were on notice of that violence they weren’t there to protect us.
"The lifelong scars and injuries, loss of an internal organ, mental anguish and trauma will be with me forever – and in a couple of years Martinez will live free.
"I don’t want to end with the anger I feel inside. I want to express that Indigenous prayers and lifeways work. Pueblo people will always stand together and maintain a continuity of resistance to white supremacy and the destruction of the Earth."

Man sentenced after pleading no contest to charges in #Oñate protest shooting [of #JacobJohns]
Jonathan Fjeld, Updated: October 8, 2024
ESPAÑOLA, N.M. — "A plea deal has been reached in the case of a man accused of a shooting last year at a protest over a Juan de Oñate statue.
"Ryan Martinez pleaded no contest Monday to aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A judge subsequently sentenced him to 9.5 years, which includes a firearm enhancement. Martinez will serve a minimum of four years as a result of his plea to a serious violent offense.
"The state agreed to dismiss a possible hate crime enhancement as a part of the plea deal.
"The court scheduled jury selection to begin Monday for Martinez’s trial. Prosecutors accused him of shooting and wounding Jacob Johns at a protest last September in Española.

#NativeAmerican artist's new show includes painting of man accused of shooting him
By Nicholas Gilmore, Jul 9, 2024
"For #JacobJohns, painting a portrait of the man accused of trying to kill him was a sort of exercise in healing.
"The Spokane, Wash.-based artist and activist on Tuesday afternoon stood next to his own five-foot-tall painting of Ryan Martinez, who is accused of having shot Johns last September at a protest in Española.
"The plan, Johns said, is to turn the painting into a work of collaborative art by leaving markers next to the portrait and encouraging visitors to the exhibition to contribute to it."
