#Oglala President Bans #ICE and U.S. Border Patrol from #OglalaLakota Nation, #PineRidge, South Dakota
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, January 28, 2026
"Oglala Lakota President #FrankStarComesOut issued a Presidential Proclamation today banning both ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol from the Oglala Lakota Nation. The #OglalaSioux Tribal Council banned ICE, and rejected an agreement to work with immigration officials, on January 21.
"President Star Comes Out points out in the Proclamation today that the U.S. Border Patrol is working with ICE in its 'unlawful conduct against Native people in #Minneapolis' -- which is within the Aboriginal Territory of the Great Sioux Nation.
"Calling it 'egregious conduct,' the President's Proclamation states that ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol are targeting minorities throughout the United States, and Native people are being detained and injured, in violation of Treaties and civil rights."

The president of #Oglala #Sioux Tribe in South Dakota on Tuesday called for the #immediate #release of tribal members who were detained at a homeless encampment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota last week.
“The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s memorandum makes clear that ⭐️‘tribal citizens are not aliens’ and are ♦️‘categorically outside immigration jurisdiction,’”
President Star Comes Out said.
“Enrolled tribal members are citizens of the United States by statute
and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty.”Three of the four Oglala Sioux Tribe members who were arrested in Minneapolis on Friday have been transferred to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling,
President Frank Star Comes Out said in a statement released with a memorandum sent to federal immigration authorities.

The end of an era... “First Voices Radio’s” Final Broadcast will be Sunday, July 6, 2025
Internationally-syndicated weekly all-Native hosted and all-Native produced radio program has been on the air for 33 years
By Liz Hill, First Voices Radio, via #CensoredNews
STONE RIDGE, New York -- July 3, 2025 — " 'First Voices Radio' will have its final broadcast on Sunday, July 6, 2025. The program, which was founded in 1992 by #TiokasinGhosthorse (#CheyenneRiverLakota) has explored global topics and issues of critical importance to the preservation and protection of #MotherEarth presented in the voices and from the perspective of the original peoples of the world.
" 'First Voices Radio' has been airing weekly for the past 33 years and has most recently been heard on Sundays from 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Radio Kingston #WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM in Kingston, New York. The final episode will air on Radio Kingston and will stream live at https://radiokingston.org/.
" 'First Voices Radio' — 'formerly First Voices Indigenous Radio' — was the first Indigenous radio program in the northeastern U.S. With more than 1 million annual online hits to its website, the program has become known for bringing to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives and struggles of Indigenous peoples worldwide whose exclusion from mainstream, progressive and alternative
media is deleterious to the whole of humanity."The program’s Host, Executive Producer and Founder Tiokasin Ghosthorse is from the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation in South Dakota and the bands of #ItazipcoMnicoujou and #Oglala. He is an author, activist and accomplished musician of the Lakota flute. #Tiokasin has been described as 'a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator.' #LizHill (#RedLakeOjibwe) has been the show’s producer since 2012."

Heute ist mir bewusst geworden,
wie Böses immer wieder Böses,
wie Gewalt immer wieder Gewalt hervorbringt,
wenn niemand es schafft,
den Kreislauf der Gewalt zu durchbrechen.Das ist bis heute sichtbar in den USA.
Das ist heute sichtbar in Israel.
Und in Kolonien.Und: Jede Tat der Versöhnung und der Freundlichkeit führt zu mehr Freundlichkeit und Liebe.
Auch das ist wahr.#NativeAmericans #Oglala #Israel

#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."

"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."

Buried in Time: #BIA Takeover Documents Included #Sterilizations, #PineRidge #Uranium, and #WaterRights
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 15, 2024
"Buried in Time: When the #TrailOfBrokenTreaties arrived in Washington and took over the BIA headquarters, the documents discovered in the BIA file cabinets altered the course of history. In the caravans from the west coast and northwest were activists from local #Indigenous frontline struggles, from #PitRiver, #SurvivalAmericanIndian, and #Alcatraz.
"The BIA documents exposed the secret plan of #Oglala Chairman #DickWilson to turn over one-eighth of tribal land over to the federal government for #UraniumMining. In the ton of documents taken away in a U-Haul, the documents showed proof of the sterilization of Native women by Indian Health Service doctors.

"Hidden in these BIA files were the facts about the #WintersDoctrine, and the fact that #NativeAmerican Tribes are entitled to as much #water as they need. It is a fact that the BIA wanted hidden. Today, the states and federal government are attempting to do away with the water rights guaranteed in the Winters Doctrine with complex schemes and #WaterRights settlements.
"In the BIA files were documents showing #LandTheft and illegal leases of tribal lands across the country. Tribal members in the takeover took these back to their home communities.

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.«

TODAY! #Supai, #Ute, #Dine', #Lakota Testify on #Uranium #Exploitation before Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights
by Brenda Norrell, #CensoredNews
February 28, 2024WASHINGTON -- "The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights will hear testimony from Navajo, Ute, and #Oglala Lakota, on the impacts on #IndigenousPeoples' human rights from uranium exploitation in Washington on Feb. 28, 2024.
"'#NahasdzáánShimá — #MotherEarth—provides everything we need to keep us alive—the four things we Navajos talk about —air, water, soil, and light—and it is our home,' said #EdithHood, President, of #RedWaterPondRoadCommunityAssociation.
"'We have been living with this silent killer without knowing the dangers. Once the #mining started, after the drilling, we didn’t realize we were being contaminated.'
"'When we were children playing and herding sheep we didn’t understand we were being exposed to dangerous #radiation,' Hood said.
Hood thanked the commission for the hearing and added, "Our own #Tribalgovernment doesn’t listen to us.'"The #InterAmericanCommission on Human Rights agreed to hold a thematic hearing on how U.S. uranium exploitation policies have resulted in human rights abuses in Indigenous communities across the country. This coincides with an upsurge in #UraniumMining, said the #NewMexico #EnvironmentalLawCenter.
"'As the United States doubles down on the misguided notion that #NuclearPower is a solution to the #ClimateCrisis, the uranium development industry is beginning to benefit from generous #taxpayer giveaways to the nuclear industry as a whole.'
"'Subsidies from the #Biden administration have spurred uranium mining production to restart in at least 3 mines in the last few months, in #Utah, #Wyoming, and in Arizona near the #GrandCanyon. As has been the case since the dawn of the #AtomicAge, the impacts of uranium mining are largely left out of the debate over nuclear power.'
"#EnergyFuels said it is increasing U.S. uranium production as prices reach a 16-year high. Energy Fuels said in December that it is ramping up uranium production at three mines #PinyonPlain in in the Grand Canyon, and #LaSal and #Pandora uranium mines in southeastern #Utah.
"Ore mined from the three mines during 2024 will be stockpiled at the Energy Fuels #WhiteMesaMill in Utah for processing in 2025. It is also preparing two mines, #Whirlwind in southeastern Utah, and #NicholsRanch in central Wyoming, to begin uranium production within one year, Energy Fuels said.
"Pinyon Plain began uranium mining and is now threatening the water of the #Havasupai in their homeland in the Grand Canyon. The mine is now endangering Navajo, #Hopi, Ute, and southwest residents, on the uranium haul route, from the Grand Canyon to the Energy Fuels mill in southeastern Utah.
"The White Mesa Mill is poisoning the water, land, and air of White Mesa Utes in southeastern Utah. It is now bringing in #radioactive waste from Europe. Nuclear waste at the site was transported here from the Nuclear Test Site in Nevada because it was too deadly to leave there. The Nevada site poisoned the ancestral land of #WesternShoshone."

A #SouthDakota tribe banned Gov. #KristiNoem from a reservation over her #USMexicoBorder remarks
By TRISHA AHMED
February 3, 2024"A South Dakota tribe has banned Republican Gov. Kristi Noem from the #PineRidgeReservation after she spoke this week about wanting to send #RazorWire and security personnel to #Texas to help deter immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and also said cartels are infiltrating the state’s reservations.
“'Due to the safety of the #Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the #OglalaSioux Tribe!” Tribe President #FrankStarComesOut said in a Friday statement addressed to Noem. “Oyate” is a word for people or nation.
"#StarComesOut accused Noem of trying to use the border issue to help get former U.S. President Donald Trump re-elected and boost her chances of becoming his running mate.
"Many of those arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are #IndigenousPeople from places like #ElSalvador, #Guatemala and #Mexico who come 'in search of jobs and a better life,' the tribal leader added.
"'They don’t need to be put in cages, separated from their children like during the Trump Administration, or be cut up by razor wire furnished by, of all places, South Dakota,' he said.
"Star Comes Out also addressed #Noem’s remarks in the speech to lawmakers Wednesday in which she said a gang calling itself the Ghost Dancers is murdering people on the Pine Ridge Reservation and is affiliated with border-crossing cartels that use South Dakota reservations to spread drugs throughout the Midwest.
"Star Comes Out said he took deep offense at her reference, saying the #GhostDance is one of the Oglala Sioux’s “most sacred ceremonies,' 'was used with blatant disrespect and is insulting to our Oyate.'"

#KristiNoem banned by two more #NativeAmerican tribes in #SouthDakota
Governor, plagued by dog-killing story, unwelcome in 20% of her state after she accused tribal leaders of benefiting from cartels
Dani Anguiano
Mon 13 May 2024 19.52 EDT"The move by the #YanktonSioux tribe and the #SissetonWahpetonOyate tribe last week follows criticism from the governor who has – without evidence – accused tribal leaders of 'personally benefiting
from drug cartels. The #Oglala, Rosebud, #CheyenneRiver and #StandingRockSioux tribes banished Noem earlier this year."In a statement announcing the ban in April, the #RosebudSioux said the decision was based not only on Noem’s recent comments but an 'ongoing strained relationship' with the governor, who took office in 2019.
"The tribe cited Noem’s support of the #KeystoneXLPipeline, her opposition to #checkpoints on reservation borders established by the #CheyenneRiverSioux and Oglala Sioux during the pandemic, and her support of the removal of 'significant sections' of #NativeAmerican history from state social-studies standards, among other issues.
"'Governor Noem claims she wants to establish meaningful relationships with tribes to provide solutions for systemic problems. However, her actions as governor show blatantly otherwise,' the tribe said in a statement.
"'Her disingenuous nature towards Native Americans to further her federal political ambitions is an attack on tribal sovereignty that the Rosebud Sioux tribe will not tolerate.'"

Tonia Stands, #Oglala #Lakota from #PineRidge, #SouthDakota: "'People come from all over the world to share the connection we have with the water, the land, and the silent relatives.'
"While describing the beauty of Lakota culture, Stands pointed out that #UraniumMining is resulting in increased heat in healing ceremonies and in #radiation contamination for those in ceremony. Now, there is the threat of new #UraniumMining.
"Stands said that while the piped-in water from the #MissouriRiver is supposed to save Lakota from their own contaminated water from uranium mining -- it is actually bringing in contaminated uranium water from Wyoming because of the lack of filters."

2020: How #NativeAmericans’ #RightToVote has been systematically violated for generations
In the new book Voting in Indian Country, Jean Reith Schroedel weaves together historical and contemporary voting rights conflicts as the election nears
by Nina Lakhani in New York
Fri 16 Oct 2020"#VoterSuppression has taken centre stage in the race to elect potentially the 46th president of the United States. But we’ve heard little about the 5.2 million #Native Americans whose ancestors have called this land home before there was a US president.
"The rights of indigenous communities – including the right to vote – have been systematically violated for generations with devastating consequences for access to #CleaAir and #water, #health, #education, economic opportunities, #housing and #sovereignty. Voter turnout for Native Americans and Alaskan Natives is the lowest in the country, and about one in three eligible voters (1.2 million people) are not registered to vote, according to the National Congress of American Indians.
"In a new book, Voting in Indian County: The View from the Trenches, Jean Reith Schroedel, professor emerita of political science at Claremont Graduate University, weaves together historical and contemporary voting rights conflicts.
"Is the right to vote struggle for Native Americans distinct from the wider struggle faced by marginalized groups in the US?
"One thing few Americans understand is that American Indians and #NativeAlaskans were the last group in the #UnitedStates to get #citizenship and to get the #vote. Even after the civil war and the Reconstruction (13th, 14th and 15th) amendments there was a supreme court decision that said #IndigenousPeople could never become US citizens, and some laws used to disenfranchise them were still in place in 1975. In fact first-generation violations used to deny – not just dilute voting rights – were in place for much longer for Native Americans than any other group. It’s impossible to understand contemporary voter suppression in Indian Country without understanding this historical context.
"Why didn’t the #AmericanIndianCitizenshipAct 1924 nor the #VotingRightsAct (#VRA) 1965 guarantee Native Americans equal access to the ballot box?
"The motivation for the VRA was the egregious treatment of #black people in the south, and for the first 10 years there was a question over whether it even applied to #AmericanIndian and Native Alaskan populations. It wasn’t really discussed until a #CivilRights commission report in 1975 which included cases from #SouthDakota and #Arizona that showed equally egregious #discrimination and absolute denial of right to vote towards Native Americans – and also #Latinos.
"When voter suppression is discussed by politicians, advocates and journalists, it’s mostly about African American voters, and to a lesser degree Latinos. Why are Native Americans still excluded from the conversation?
"Firstly they are a small population and secondly most of the most egregious abuses routinely occur in rural isolated parts of #IndianCountry where there is little media focus. But it’s happening – take Jackson county in South Dakota, a state where the governor has done little to protect people from #Covid. The county council has just decided to close the legally mandated early voting centre on the #PineRidgeReservation, citing concerns about Covid, but not in the voting site in #Kadoka, where the white people go. Regardless of the intent, this will absolutely have a detrimental effect on Native people’s ability to vote. And South Dakota, like many other states, is also a very hard place for Native people to vote by mail. In the primary, the number of people who registered to #VoteByMail increased by 1,000% overall but there was no increase among reservation communities. In #Oglala county, which includes the eastern part of Pine Ridge, turnout was about 10%.
"The right to vote by mail is a hot political and civil rights issue in the 2020 election – could it help increase turnout in Indian Country?
"No, voting by mail is very challenging for Native Americans for multiple reasons. First and foremost, most reservations do not have home mail delivery. Instead, people need to travel to post offices or postal provide sites – little places that offer minimal mail services and are located in places like gas stations and mini-marts. Take the Navajo Nation that encompasses 27,425 square miles – it’s larger than West Virginia, yet there are only 40 places where people can send and receive mail. In West Virginia, there are 725. Not a single PO box on the Navajo Nation has 24-hour access."
