  1. Some background about #PeSla

    Pe’ Sla Controversial Drilling Project

    GABRIELLE NELSON, March 25, 2026

    Excerpt: "The decision memo doesn’t mention Pe’ Sla. Gubble says in the memo, 'There are no known Native American or Alaska Native religious or cultural sites within the project area.' The USDA spokesperson told #BuffalosFire in an email, 'No activities are planned on Tribal trust lands, including Pe’ Sla.'

    "The #BlackHills #CleanWaterAlliance says otherwise. The map provided by #PeteLien & Sons shows the project’s drilling sites outside of Pe’ Sla boundaries, which were agreed upon in a Memorandum of Understanding between the Forest Service and tribes in 2024. But a map of the proposed drilling operations made by the alliance using coordinates provided by Pete Lien & Sons shows one site within those boundaries.

    "Plus, the alliance says the actual area that needs to be protected from #drilling operations, which includes #noise, lights and traffic (usually 24 hours a day), should be larger. The alliance shows a two-mile buffer on its map. Most drilling sites are within that buffer zone. Yet, the alliance emphasized it is opposed to all drilling in the Black Hills, even outside this two-mile buffer.

    "Protected Indian trust land also lies within the Pe’ Sla boundaries. In 2012, four #Sioux tribes — #Rosebud, #CrowCreek, #ShakopeeMdewakanton and #StandingRock — raised $9 million to purchase nearly 2,000 acres of Pe’ Sla. In 2016, the Bureau of Indian Affairs placed that land (plus 200 acres) into federal Indian trust status to protect the land from development.

    " 'They recognized that due to the unique cultural significance of the Pe’ Sla area that this situation was different, that this is a special place,' said Gunhammer. 'But now, unfortunately, the Forest Service, Black Hills National Forest, has managed to look past all of this very, very well documented history.'

    "Lilias Jarding, executive director of the Black Hills Clean Water Alliance, told Buffalo’s Fire that the project is 'obviously not OK' because of its proximity to Pe’ Sla. She said the Forest Service ignored this when they approved the project without an environmental assessment."

  7. 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.

  9. Native People Rush to Feed the People

    "The #BlackfeetNation brought in a load of produce from the #YakamaNation, and #FortPeck announced buffalo distribution. #GilaRiver is giving tribal members $1,000 in hardship funds, as the government shut-down continues.

    "Blackfeet Tribal Council Member Mike Comes At Night brought in a load of produce from the Yakama Nation in Washington State for the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. 'We made it home safely from the Yakama Nation with a generous load of produce for the Blackfeet People. I am honored, as a Councilman, to serve our people. I’ve traveled hundreds of miles to help
    bring food home, and at the end of the day, I know I am doing my job. I also want to thank all the farmers who helped us with this food — may the Creator bless them and their families," Comes at
    Night said.

    "#FortPeck's #Assiniboine and #Sioux Tribes are distributing buffalo meat, and gathering groceries, after declaring a state of emergency in Montana.

    "In California, the #Yurok Tribal Council approved $300 food assistance cards for Yurok because of the disruptions in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program #SNAP, and #CalFresh benefits, due to the federal government shutdown.
    'Our goal is to help our most vulnerable citizens get through this challenging time,' said Yurok Chairman Joseph L. James, who said the tribe is working to mitigate the hardships on families from
    the federal shutdown.

    "In #Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the #CherokeeNation announced a $6.5 million response package. This includes cash payments of up to $185 per individual Cherokee Nation citizens on SNAP. It also includes over $1.25 million to support food banks and other non-profit food programs.

    "The Cherokee Nation's expanded emergency declaration includes tribal members who are currently on SNAP living anywhere in the United States. The Cherokee Nation has over 470,000 citizens living in all fifty states. Cherokee Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. said the Cherokee's network of 27 “at-large” organizations located in urban areas could access grants of $5,000 to address local food shortages.

    "The #GilaRiverIndianCommunity, south of #Phoenix in #Arizona, is distributing $1,000 hardship payments to all adult tribal members, regardless of whether or not they are SNAP recipients.

    "Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis said, 'We want to make sure that, as a sovereign nation, we take care of our members during this unprecedented shutdown.'

    " 'I hope that this payment brings some peace of mind during this time of uncertainty at the federal
    level.' "

  10. …But the #BlackHills have long been the subject of disputes between #SouthDakota & its tribes. The 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie recognized that the Black Hills belong to the #Sioux people, but the US government seized the #land less than a decade later to mine for gold. A 1980 #SCOTUS decision found that the US violated the treaty, but the tribes refused the $1.3B in compensation they were offered & maintained their rights to the land.

  11. Officials in #SouthDakota are pushing hard to build #Trump‘s proposed National Garden of American Heroes in the #BlackHills near #MountRushmore, but the effort has sparked a backlash from #Indigenous groups who see the area as #sacred.

    A #mining company has offered to donate 40 acres (16 hectares) less than a mile from Mount Rushmore, where massive sculptures of 4 of the nation’s most prominent presidents are carved out of granite.

  12. 'People are scared': #FortPeck #TribalChair urges members to carry IDs to avoid #deportation

    by Nora Mabie Jan 24, 2025

    "#FortPeckAssiniboine and #Sioux Tribal Chairman #JustinGrayHawk on Friday issued a statement urging tribal members to carry their tribal IDs amid growing concern over President Donald #Trump’s recent executive orders.

    "Gray Hawk wrote that community members feared the possibility of '(deporting) #NativeAmericans along with Mexicans in the hope that nobody can tell the difference.'

    "When asked if the tribal enrollment office had received an uptick in calls after Trump’s inauguration, Enrollment Officer Twyla Red Eagle said, 'Yes. Yes. Yes.'
    'Just this afternoon, we had 15 people in here,' she said. 'And people are calling from out-of-state where they had deportations already. … People are scared.'

    "Fort Belknap Indian Community Vice President Judy King on Friday issued a similar statement, advising members to 'keep a copy of your tribal identification card on you at all times.'

    "#NavajoNation Council delegates said they'd been contacted by tribal members in #Arizona who said they were detained by #ICE, according to the Arizona Republic.

    "On his first day in office, Trump issued a slew of executive orders related to #immigration. He declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and said he plans to send U.S. troops to support agents, according to The Associated Press.

    "Trump issued an executive order denying #USCitizenship to the children born in the states of parents living in the U.S. illegally. A U.S. District Judge temporarily blocked the order and as of Jan. 21, 22 states had sued to block the move, according to The Associated Press.
    To request a #TribalID, visit the Fort Peck Tribes’ enrollment department or call 406-768-2311. The Fort Belknap Indian Community enrollment office can be reached at 406-353-8531 or 406-353-8532."

    1891: A Heart-Rending Account of the Massacre at #WoundedKnee

    By International Herald Tribune February 12, 2016

    "On Dec. 29, 1890, American soldiers killed men, women and children on the #PineRidgeReservation in #SouthDakota. Two #Sioux leaders, #TurningHawk and #AmericanHorse, spoke of the massacre’s horrors at a conference in Washington D.C. in 1891. Below is an excerpt from their account that appeared in the European edition of The New York Herald:

    "A most pathetic story was told at the Sioux Indian Conference yesterday [Feb. 11], by Turning Hawk and American Horse. According to them, many Indian men, women and children were mercilessly slaughtered in the so-called fight at Wounded Knee.

    "Soon after the firing began, they said, the soldiers turned their guns upon #women in the lodges, standing there under a flag of #truce, the result being a general stampede, the men fleeing in one direction and the women in two different directions. As they fled with babes on their backs, several women and #children were shot right through, some falling near the flag of truce, and others being despatched as they ran through the circular village.

    "One woman was shot down with her infant as her arms almost touched the flag, and a sad sight then was seen, the mother dead and the innocent child still suckling.

    "But worse was yet to come, for after this inhuman #massacre the cry was raised that all not killed or wounded should come forth and would be safe. Little boys and girls not wounded came out of places of refuge, and as soon as they came in sight a number of soldiers surrounded and butchered them."

    Native Passion

    Jacob Johns is an artist and activist who does a little of everything

    By Carrie Scozzaro, November 03, 2016

    "Jacob Johns has lived multiple lives, many of them wrung to the last drop of bitter and sweet, sometimes in equal measure. As an artist, musician, DJ and hairdresser, he's also an activist, passionate about #NativeAmerican issues and #environmental concerns.

    "'I don't have to be confined to one thing,' says Johns, who is of the Hopi and Akimel O'odham nations.

    "In addition to #SierraClub rallies and protests against #oil and #coal train traffic, Johns has made several supply runs to the #StandingRock #Sioux camp since September, where he joined #DakotaAccessPipeline protesters and was interviewed by #DemocracyNow's Amy Goodman, documenting his scuffle with guards who had unleashed dogs on the protesters. Amidst that ugliness, Johns still found beauty.

    "'Being in that area was such solidarity, such clarity. Everyone was taking care of each other,' he says.

    "[As an artist, Johns uses] spray paint, pencil, marker, acrylic and other two-dimensional media, Johns creates works that often combine facial portraits and sacred geometry with gestural expressions of color and graffiti-like stylings. He often donates his time, work or both, such as designing the logo for the recent One Heart Native Arts and Film Festival and participating in auctions benefiting such organizations as Spokane's American Indian Community Center."
