#OnThisDayInHistory: May 28, 1830, #AndrewJackson Signs #IndianRemovalAct
by Levi Rickert May 28, 2026
"On this day in 1830 — 196 years ago — President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act into law.
"The Act created a process that allowed the president to exchange lands west of the Mississippi River for the homelands of Native tribes in the eastern United States. In return, tribes were promised financial assistance, supplies for relocation, and the guarantee that they could live on their new lands under the protection of the United States government “forever.”
"In practice, however, the Indian Removal Act became a tool of #coercion and #dispossession. Under Jackson and his supporters, #NativeNations were pressured, bribed, and forced into signing #RemovalTreaties that stripped them of their ancestral territories across the Southeast.
"By the end of his presidency, Jackson had signed nearly 70 removal treaties, leading to the forced relocation of approximately 50,000 #NativeAmericans to what was then called #IndianTerritory, in present-day #Oklahoma. Entire nations were uprooted from lands they had inhabited for generations and pushed into unfamiliar territory designated by the federal government.
"The policy culminated in the Trail of Tears — one of the darkest chapters in American history. Thousands of Native people died from disease, #starvation, and exposure during the forced marches west, including nearly one-quarter of the #CherokeeNation.
"Because of his central role in Native removal and the suffering it caused, many Native Americans remember Jackson as the '#IndianKiller' president and continue to oppose efforts to honor him, including his image remaining on the twenty-dollar bill."

#MontanaTribe Opposes ‘Slap on the Wrist’ Fine for #IllegalMining That Polluted #WaterSource
by Elyse Wild May 26, 2026
"The #FortBelknap Indian Community is opposing a settlement between the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and mining companies that illegally mined on the tribes’ ancestral homeland, harming crucial water sources for the reservation.
"From 2020 to 2022, #BlueArcLLC and #LegacyMiningLLC conducted mining activities at the #ZortmanMine in the #LittleRockyMountains without permits, licenses, or performance bonds, resulting in damage to ongoing environmental reclamation efforts.
"The #ZortmanLanduskyMine opened in 1979 and was operated by #PegasusGoldCorp. until it filed for bankruptcy in 1998. Two decades of mining activities caused widespread surface and #GroundwaterContamination, and in 1999, the DEQ and Bureau of Land Management took over the site. In 2001, Luke Ployhar, owner of Blue Arc LLC, bought the land out of the bankruptcy under the condition that the #DEQ had ongoing access to conduct #reclamation activities.
"The two agencies spent approximately $85 million cleaning up the area, according to the consent order. The site needs #WaterTreatment in perpetuity, meaning the additional cost to #taxpayers could exceed hundreds of millions of dollars.
"The illegal mining activities damaged the continuous #environmental cleanup and caused contaminated water to flow downstream to the #FortBelknapIndianCommunity, polluting its water.
In 2022, the state proposed a $516,567 penalty for Blue Arc LLC and Legacy Mining LLC. On Friday, May 22, the DEQ reached a settlement with the companies for $200,000, to be paid over five years. The agreement does not require an admission of wrongdoing."

Lawsuit challenges cancellation of federal grants for #Tribal agricultural programs
Tribal groups join lawsuit seeking restoration of $127 million in canceled farm grants
In March, the USDA canceled 49 grants, including at least three supporting Montana projects designed to support ‘underserved’ farmers and ranchers.
Wednesday, May 27, 2026
By Nora Mabie, Montana Free Press"Twenty-four organizations, including one that serves tribes in Montana and the surrounding region, on Tuesday joined a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, alleging that grants supporting farmers and ranchers were unlawfully terminated.
"In March, the USDA canceled 49 of 50 Increasing Land, Capital and Market Access Program grants designed to support 'underserved' farmers and ranchers.
"At least three projects in Montana were affected: #PiikaniLodgeHealthInstitute, headquartered on the #Blackfeet Reservation, lost a nearly $9 million grant to improve operations for farmers and ranchers in the region. The #ChippewaCree Tribe in north-central Montana lost a nearly $6 million award to purchase land and train young farmers and ranchers how to manage it. And #SouthDakota-based #FourBandsCommunityFund lost an $8.5 million grant to train and financially support at least 25 #LowIncome agricultural producers in #Montana, #NorthDakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. At the time, Montana-based awardees described the terminations as 'devastating.' "

Hype for the Future 206I: Menominee County, Wisconsin
Overview Menominee County is a notable county in the State of Wisconsin as a county created in the northeastern portion of the State south of Antigo and Langlade County designed to counter the issue of federal Native American reservation termination in the area. The Menominee Reservation is approximately coterminous with the county and is the largest reservation by area east of the Mississippi River.

Book Review: Cahokia: Ancient America’s Great City on the Mississippi by Timothy R. Pauketat
Author: Timothy R. Pauketat
Title: Cahokia: Ancient America’s Great City on the Mississippi
Narrator: George K. Wilson
Publication Info: Recorded Books, Inc., 2010
Summary/Review:I’ve long been fascinated by Cahokia, the name give to a series of mounds constructed by prehistoric indigenous people in the vicinity of modern day St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois. Archaeologists have determined that culture thrived at Cahokia circa 1050–1350 CE with 120 earthworks constructed within a 6 square mile area. Between 15,000 and 20,000 people inhabited Cahokia.
The unfortunate part of the Cahokia story is that it’s been overlooked due prejudice and stereotypes of indigenous North Americans. Even more positive traits such as the assumption that indigenous people were stewards of the environment and peaceful people so that researchers assumed they would never build a large city. As a result many of the mounds were destroyed for highway building and other developments.
Pauketat, a former Illinois State Archaeologist, spent much of his career researching Cahokia. Early in this work he creates a narrative of what it may have been like to walk through Cahokia at its peak. Much of the rest of the work is the history of archaeological research at the site going back to 19th century settlers. From the archaeological work at Cahokia, researchers have learned not only about the activities at the site but also Cahokia’s cultural influence elsewhere in North America and modern descendants of the Cahokians.

Summary/Review:I’ve long been fascinated by Cahokia, the name give to a series of mounds constructed by prehistoric indigenous people in the vicinity of modern day St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois. Archaeologists have determined that culture thrived at Cahokia circa 1050–1350 CE with 120 earthworks constructed within a 6 square mile area. Between 15,000 and 20,000 people inhabited Cahokia.
The unfortunate part of the Cahokia story is that it’s been overlooked due prejudice and stereotypes of indigenous North Americans. Even more positive traits such as the assumption that indigenous people were stewards of the environment and peaceful people so that researchers assumed they would never build a large city. As a result many of the mounds were destroyed for highway building and other developments.
Pauketat, a former Illinois State Archaeologist, spent much of his career researching Cahokia. Early in this work he creates a narrative of what it may have been like to walk through Cahokia at its peak. Much of the rest of the work is the history of archaeological research at the site going back to 19th century settlers. From the archaeological work at Cahokia, researchers have learned not only about the activities at the site but also Cahokia’s cultural influence elsewhere in North America and modern descendants of the Cahokians.

U.S. is Dynamiting #Kumeyaay #SacredMountain for #BorderWall Expansion
Kumeyaay's sacred mountain is being dynamited at the same time Hia-Ced #Oodham's sacred place is being bulldozed for this border wall on the #Arizona border.
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, May 15, 2026
"The United States government is dynamiting the sacred place of Kumeyaay, who live on both sides of the border, and blasted two sacred monoliths that were 60 to 120 million years old. The U.S. began blasting #CerroCuchumá in early April, a historic and #SacredSite where their #MedicinePeople carry out ceremonies, without consultation as required by U.S. federal law."
