The #Seneca Nation in upstate New York criticized #Trump’s decision to rename #LakeOntario as Lake America, saying it #violates a more than 225-year-old #treaty & shows a “blatant disrespect” for #Indigenous people who gave it its name
Renaming violated 1794 Treaty of #Canandaigua, signed by George #Washington & #Hudenosaunee confederacy promising perpetual #peace, friendship. Seneca are 1 of 6 #nations of confederacy, aka #Iroquois #Confederacy

Did you know that #climate played a part in finishing the 'Long #Turkish War'?
The #Ottoman Empire had battled with the Habsburgs & Co since 1526. In 1593, another 13 years of war ended in the only #Treaty that made the Habsburg #monarch & the Ottoman #sultan equals.
The 'Little Ice Age' had taken hold of #Europe in the late 16th c.; droughts & cold caused failed harvests & livestock deaths.
The Ottomans had had strong birth rates in the unusually warm period prior to the Little Ice Age & were now paying the price.
There was #famine, rinderpest & #rebellions. This resulted in a weakened Ottoman state.
The Empire was simply not prepared to withstand another defensive effort.
They recovered enough by 1669 to conquer #Crete & continue the war(s), all the way to 1791.

'#Aotearoa is facing its sharpest constitutional crisis in modern history, as the government professes adherence to Te Tiriti abroad while dismantling it at home, writes international legal practitioner Nicola #Hoobin.''In signing the landmark New Zealand-#India Free #Trade Agreement in April this year, the current #coalition #government exported the #Treaty yet again, embedding a dedicated “Cultural, Traditional Knowledge and Economic Cooperation Chapter” that requires all actions to be executed in a “manner consistent with the Treaty of #Waitangi”.
'.....the contradiction it presents to domestic strategy creates a fatal blind spot.
'In New Zealand public law, courts frequently look to international treaties signed by the executive as extrinsic evidence to interpret the scope of the Crown’s fiduciary obligations.
'So, for example, if #iwi launch #judicial #reviews against the rollbacks of the 19 targeted #statutes — which cover critical resource management, #biosecurity, and primary #industries — the #FTA texts become powerful legal levers.
'The Crown cannot easily look a High Court judge in the eye and argue that statutory Treaty obligations are vague, unworkable, or a threat to democratic certainty when the executive branch has formally executed international documents telling the UK and EU the exact opposite.
'The explicit acknowledgments in the EU and UK agreements effectively block the Crown from downplaying the constitutional status of Te Tiriti in a domestic courtroom.
'This inescapable double standard shifts the ultimate burden of accountability from global panels directly onto our domestic judiciary.
'Will the New Zealand courts now hold the Crown strictly accountable for its own #international admissions, enforcing the principle that a sovereign government can’t legally define Te Tiriti as a cornerstone of our constitution to the rest of the world while treating it as entirely disposable at home?...' -
It is 100% guaranteed these post-Bondi laws will be abused. And how do these laws actually relate to what happened in the first place? Why isn't more money going to community groups doing the actual useful work?

‘They #criminalize us’: how #felony charges are weaponized against #PipelineProtesters
Twenty states have passed laws that criminalize protesting, including on infrastructure including #pipelines. In #Minnesota, at least 66 felony theft charges against #Line3 protesters remain open
Alexandria Herr for Floodlight
Thu 10 Feb 2022"Last summer [2021] Sabine von Mering, a professor of German at Brandeis University, drove more than 1,500 miles from Boston to Minneapolis to protest against the replacement of the Line 3 #OilPipeline that stretches from #Canada’s #TarSands down to Minnesota.
"Along with another protester, she locked herself to a semi-truck in the middle of a roadway, according to a filed court brief, as a means of #peaceful #resistance. But when she was arrested, she was charged with a serious crime: felony theft, which carries up to five years in prison.
"'It’s very scary that they criminalize us like that, and to face jail time,' said Von Mering, 54, of her June arrest. 'But what can I do? I feel responsible to my kids and #FutureGenerations.'
"The felony charges come as more than a dozen states have passed laws to criminalize #FossilFuel protests, and as the federal government has ramped up its own tactics for surveilling and penalizing protesters.
"Von Mering is one of nearly 900 protesters who were arrested in Minnesota for protesting against the pipeline’s construction, with the vast majority of arrests taking place during the summer of 2021, and one of dozens facing felony charges. Construction on the Line 3 pipeline was finalized in October 2021 and carries 760,000 barrels of oil per day across northern Minnesota. But its construction for years has stoked fierce protests and legal challenges, led by #Indigenous activists in northern Minnesota who worried about potential impacts of oil spills and the pipeline’s threat to #treaty rights to gather wild rice. While most of the arrests have led to misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charges for crimes including 'disturbing the peace' and 'trespassing', felony charges like Von Mering’s mean protesters are facing years of jail time.
"Legal advocates say that in Minnesota the elevated charges are a novel tactic to challenge protest actions against pipeline construction. They see them as furthering evidence of close ties between Minnesota’s government and the #FossilFuelIndustry. It follows reporting by the Guardian that the Canadian pipeline company #Enbridge, which is building Line 3, reimbursed Minnesota’s #police department $2.4m for time spent arresting protesters and on equipment including ballistic helmets. Experts say the reimbursement strategy for arrests is a new technique in both Minnesota and across the US, and there’s concern it can be replicated.
"'I do a lot of representation for people in political protests and I’ve never seen anything like that,' said Jordan Kushner, a defense attorney representing clients charged in relation to Line 3 protests.
"Two of Kushner’s clients were charged with felony 'aiding attempted suicide' charges for crawling inside a pipe. The charge is for someone who 'intentionally advises, encourages, or assists another who attempts but fails to take the other’s own life', according to Minnesota law and carries up to a seven-year sentence. Authorities alleged that the protesters were endangering their lives by remaining inside the pipeline."

For any #Australian struggling with #voting #yes on October 14, read this.
It's a long read but it will explain what we #invaders owe the #Blackfellas. Why we need #truth. Why we need #treaty.
Please #boost the shit out of this. We all need to have this under our belts before we even contemplate #voting #no. I realise that many old people and #conservatives will argue, but this hasn't been touched by #NewsCorpse.
