"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."

#Trump Bulldozed a 1,000-Year-Old #ArcheologicalSite to Make Room for a Second Border Wall
#DHS was in talks with the #WildlifeRefuge that hosts the ancient site to make sure it was protected, a local archeologist said.
Adam Federman
April 30 2026, 7:01 p.m."A rare archaeological site in the #SonoranDesert was bulldozed by a Department of Homeland Security contractor involved in building the latest sections of Donald Trump’s #BorderWall, according to multiple sources briefed on the incident.
"The area, in a remote corner of Arizona’s #CabezaPrieta #NationalWildlifeRefuge, is a nearly 280-by-50-foot etching in the desert sand known as an #intaglio.
"Last Friday, without any notice, a contractor working for DHS cut a roughly 60-foot swath across the middle of the intaglio, doing irreparable damage to the 1,000-year-old artifact.
"Cabeza Prieta, one of the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska, also encompasses lands sacred to the #TohonoOodham Nation, which borders the refuge to the east. The O’odham have fought to prevent border wall construction across their reservation and during Trump’s first term largely prevailed; they also managed to protect the intaglio and a nearby burial site that they consider to be part of their ancestral lands.
" 'I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines — something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting. Not destroying,' Rick Martynec, an archaeologist, said in a phone interview, referring to the hundreds of figures drawn into the deserts of southern Peru.
"The destruction was confirmed by a federal employee with direct knowledge of the incident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal."

I'm sharing a paper that I wrote about the story of Pia Machita, a Tohono O'odham elder who led his village in resisting military conscription from 1940-1941.
It is a powerful story and one that brings to mind other moments of Indigenous resistance to the draft, including the Oklahoma Green Corn Rebellion.
FYI- the paper was first written for a class at Tohono O'odham Community College, but I did some rewriting on it after I turned it in.

#ICE Terrorizing #Navajo, #Yaqui and #Shawnee in #Arizona and #Oklahoma
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews , Jan. 16, 2026
"ICE is terrorizing #NativeAmericans. A Navajo on his way to work in the #Phoenix Valley was grabbed by ICE on Monday. A #PascuaYaqui tribal member grabbed near #TohonoOodham's San Xavier District, bordering Tucson, reveals how federal agents are terrorizing U.S. citizens and migrants in detention. In Oklahoma, Absentee Shawnee are now being harassed and detained by ICE agents.
"Peter Yazzie, #Dine', was on his way to work in Peoria, in the Phoenix Valley, at 4 a.m., on Monday, when ICE grabbed him, ignoring his tribal ID and the fact that he is a U.S. citizen, reports Arlyssa D. Becenti, at the Arizona Republic.
"Peter Yazzie told ICE agents where they could locate his Certificate of Indian Blood, birth certificate and other documents proving that he was both a #USCitizen and #NativeAmerican. It made no difference. They aggressively placed him in the back of their vehicle and drove away early the morning of Monday, Jan. 12.'
"Yazzie was unaware that ICE was expanding operations throughout Phoenix and surrounding cities. Parked at a QT gas station between Peoria and Sun City near his job site, his morning began as usual, waking at 4 a.m. for his 5 a.m. shift."

#OglalaLakota President Refuses #ICE Manipulation and Deal -- as Three #Lakota Remain #Disappeared at #FortSnelling
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 15, 2026
MINNEAPOLIS -- "ICE's violence continued on Wednesday night with another #ICEShooting. Three #Lakotas arrested by ICE remain disappeared at Fort Snelling, the long time site of the genocide of #Dakota people.
"In the search for the three disappeared Lakotas, Oglala Lakota President #FrankStarComesOut says he refuses to cut a deal with ICE, which ICE is demanding to release more information.
"Meanwhile, a whistleblower has leaked the secret ICE operations underway -- including the targeting of #activists, recruiting informants in jail, and 'Operation A' exploiting migrants for intelligence.
"Both the #TohonoOodham Nation government, and #Navajo President #BuuNygren, play roles by recruiting and promoting ICE agents."

Public Land on the U.S.-Mexico Border (includes Tribal land)
September 14, 2021"Prior to American and Mexican control, much of the region that would come to be known as the borderlands had been inhabited for thousands of years by various #NativeAmerican peoples such as the #TohonoOodham, the #Cocopah, and many others. Following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 and the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, the U.S.-Mexico border cut right through these and other tribal homelands. The governments of both countries relegated the once wide-ranging tribes to much smaller pieces of land along the border, where many of these groups still reside.These tribes value the land along the border for the historical and cultural connections they have in this region."

#Army control of #USMexicoBorder buffer zone may funnel migrants to 62-mile stretch of #TribalLand in #Arizona
Emma Paterson/Cronkite News
April 25, 2025WASHINGTON – "Some Arizona border officials have welcomed President Donald Trump’s order for a military takeover at the U.S-Mexico border.
"But migrant advocates fear that by sealing hundreds of miles of border in the Southwest, the troops will effectively funnel migrants to far more dangerous crossing points. And #environmentalists warn of damage to habitats that support nearly two dozen #endangered species.
" 'Militarizing the border has historically only ramped up deaths,' said James Holeman, founder of Battalion Search and Rescue, a group of volunteers who hike through desolate regions of Arizona and New Mexico searching for remains of migrants who couldn’t survive the desert.
" 'You’re talking about vulnerable people that are making very deadly choices,' he said.
"On April 11, Trump ordered the military to take control of the #RooseveltReservation – a 60-foot wide strip of federal land along the border from the Pacific Ocean to New Mexico.
"Turning the border into a military base would get around the 1878 #PosseComitatus Act, which prohibits the military from engaging directly in civilian law enforcement. #Migrants would be subject to military arrest for trespassing within the federal zone.
"That zone and Trump’s order cover Arizona’s four border counties – Yuma, Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise – except for a 62 mile stretch of Pima County controlled by the #TohonoOOdhamNation.
"Holeman, among others, expects that gap to become an even bigger magnet for human trafficking.
"The tribe’s ancestral lands span the border, and roughly 2,000 of 34,000 members live on the Mexican side.
"Tribal leaders declined opportunities to discuss the situation.
"Even before the military build-up to the east and west, the reservation was a hot spot for illegal crossings. The tribe’s stretch of border is relatively flat. And it’s secured with vehicle barriers and large-gapped cattle fencing that don’t impede people, because the tribe refused to allow wall construction during Trump’s first term."

"Ofelia shares how Ray's father was her spiritual mentor and taught her about O'odham ceremonies.
"'Raymond is my ceremony brother, and I have a lot of respect for him.'
"Ofelia describes the moments leading up to Ray's murder when about 25 U.S. Border Patrol trucks arrived. After murdering Raymond, Ofelia could hear the U.S. Border Patrol agents laughing about murdering him. The gunfire included two shots from the back, and U.S. Border Patrol agents bashed in Raymond's body after he was shot and dying."

U.S. Border Patrol Agents who Murdered #RaymondMattia, #TohonoOodham, Identified
Tucson Sentinel, reporter Paul Ingram, reports: "Three #BorderPatrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of a Tohono O'odham man in front of his home in 2023 were identified in legal filings on Friday.
"Earlier this year, the family of 58-year-old Raymond Mattia filed a lawsuit, accusing Border Patrol of excessive force and demanding the names of the agents who killed him."Attorneys Ryan Stitt and Marcus Bourassa filed an amended complaint, and on Friday issued a summons for Border Patrol Agents Scott Whitehouse, Dan Sifuentes, and Ivan Torralva, who they said 'shot and killed Raymond for no reason.'
"'Despite the lack of a threat and his compliance, at least three of the agents met his compliant calm demeanor with a hail of gunfire,' the attorneys wrote. Whitehouse, Sifuentes, and Torralva 'all fired their weapons at Mr. Mattia."

From 2012: The most censored in Indian country: #Drones, #SpyTowers and the militarization of Indian lands
by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, October 10, 2012
"The use of drones on the border, and the militarization of Tohono O’odham sovereign land, heads the list of the most censored issues in Indian country. Tohono O’odham activists who fight the militarization of their lands, and abuse by Border Patrol agents, are oppressed by the elected Tohono O’odham government, and targeted and abused by the US Border Patrol.
Among the most secret issues are spy towers and drones. Currently, Tohono O’odham are reporting drones in the skies, but very little is known about these drones.
"Censored News continues extensive research into the secrecy and militarization at the border."
