#BloodInMyEyes by #KleeBenally

"if this is the season to harvest
we harvest what we have grown
our teethe like daggers
our nails sharpened on stone

our enemies surround us
there is a symmetry in this cycle
the land and the seasons
are weapons of our survival

in 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?"

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.

"One group was celebrating the postponement of the rededication of the Oñate statue. A smaller group stood by, arguing that officials were ignoring their culture and history. For the most part, they stayed separate, until one individual jumped a wall and ran toward the protesters.

"Video showed the Oñate protesters trying to tackle the man as he ran toward the group. The video showed protesters ripping off his 'Make America Great Again' hat as he jumped back over the wall. Then, the video showed that man firing one shot that hit a protester.

"Medics arrived about 10 minutes later and took the shooting victim to the hospital.

"Witnesses said the man drove away in a white Tesla. They identified him as 23-year-old Ryan Martinez. They also described him as a known online troll who often riled up crowds at protests. New Mexico State Police arrested him later that day and confirmed it was Martinez.

"A judge ruled to keep Martinez in jail until his trial."

Man sentenced after pleading no contest to charges in #Oñate protest shooting [of #JacobJohns]

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.

#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."

"The search for an energy alternative to #FossilFuels has renewed interest in #NuclearPower production across the globe. Despite nuclear boosters’ promotion of the energy source, Tim Judson of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service [#NIRS] calls #NuclearPower an 'elaborate #greenwashing scheme.' Nuclear is 'not carbon-free,' says Diné organizer #LeonaMorgan, who highlights the fuel costs and #EnvironmentalContamination — particularly within and around #IndigenousCommunities in the #SouthwestUnitedStates — of the #UraniumMining required to produce nuclear power. Because the carbon costs before and after nuclear generation are not factored into energy calculations, says Morgan, 'it’s really not going to solve the #EnergyCrisis.'"

[Photos] Protect Ha'Kamwe' Stop Big Sandy #LithiumMine Protest Walk
"#WaterIsLife!" #Hualapai say as they march today to protect their sacred ceremonial place Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.

"'Water is life!' Hualapai said as they marched to protect their sacred ceremonial place, Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.

"'For generations and through modern day, Tribal members have used Ha’Kamwe’ (also known as Cofer Hot Spring) for cultural and traditional purposes. It features prominently in tribal songs and stories about their history and connection to their land, including those known as the #SaltSongTrail,' the Hualapai Tribe said in its lawsuit filed against the U.S. Interior.

"Hualapai filed suit against Interior's #DebHalaand. The CEO of the so-called #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany, a tribal enterprise based in Farmington, New Mexico, was hired by an Australian company, #Hawkstone, aka #ArizonaLithium, to drill into Hualapai's sacred site for lithium.

"While sipping wine at the Sydney Opera House, #investors heard how much money they can make mining lithium in Arizona. The enthusiastic project manager was excited to tell them that Arizona loves mining, as can be seen with all its #CopperMines.

"'They are a mining friendly state,' says Paul Lloyd, managing director at Arizona Lithium, owned by #HawkstoneEnergy, in Perth, Australia. 'They are very pro-lithium production.'

"Federal judge #DianeHumetewa Hopi, granted a temporary restraining order. Humetewa is the first federal judge in Arizona to halt #Haaland's runaway train of permits for destruction.

"Hualapai's lawsuit said the Interior's #BureauOfLandManagement, BLM, never consulted Hualapai before authorizing #drilling."
