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.

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, 2024

WASHINGTON -- "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.'"
