WA Proposed Ballot Measures “An Attack On All Peoples’ Bodily Autonomy”
Two initiatives on the ballot this November have been called anti-#2SLGBTQIA+ by opponents of the measures, including the #AffiliatedTribes of #NorthwestIndians.
by Lyric Aquino, Underscore Native News + Report for America and Nika Bartoo-Smith, Underscore Native News + ICT October 9, 2026
Excerpt: " #WashingtonState is one of five states — along with #Arizona, #Colorado, #Missouri and #Nebraska — with #AntiTransgender initiatives on the November ballot. There are two measures on the ballot in Washington that would be consequential for 2SLGBTQIA+ students.
"Washington #Initiative638 aims to ban trans girls from girls’ sports, and Washington #Initiative001 would threaten the privacy and safety of 2SLGBTQIA+ students by opening up access to all school records to parents, including medical and mental health records. Opponents of the measure say it could force school staff to out students who may not be accepted at home.
"The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians , a nonprofit organization representing 57 tribal governments, passed a resolution at its annual September convention opposing both ballot measures.
" 'Therefore, be it resolved, that #ATNI strongly opposes Washington Initiatives I-001 and I-638 and finds that these measures are inconsistent with the Tribes’ commitment to protecting children, strengthening families, and ensuring the well-being of all young people,' the text of the resolution reads.
"This is a clear assertion of #TribalSovereignty, said #ShelbyChestnut, a citizen of the #AssiniboineNation on the #FortPeckReservation and executive director of the #TransgenderLawCenter.
" 'It is saying not only are we not standing for hate in our state and in our region, but we’re saying our Two-Spirit and trans community members are valued assets of our community,' Chestnut said.
"More anti-trans bills are likely to come in following years, Chestnut told Underscore Native News and ICT, based on the trajectory of this presidential administration. Other opponents of the anti-trans initiatives are also worried that Washington is being used as a blueprint for other states across the country."

Our community’s elders are the backbone of daily life along Alabama’s fast‑growing Gulf Coast corridor, yet they face long drives to distant clinics and shrinking rural hospitals. The Poarch Band of Creek Indians—Alabama’s only federally recognized tribe—sits right in the middle of this challenge.

What If the Passamaquoddy Tribe Turned Winter Heat Loss into a Path to Sovereignty?
What if the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point could turn the brutal winters of Washington County, Maine, into a catalyst for self‑determination? The tribe occupies a narrow peninsula in Washington County, Maine, a region where the economy leans heavily on fishing, wild blueberry harvesting, & seasonal tourism.

Border agents pepper-spray #Arizona border 'tree sit' #protesters, arrest activist who locked self to truck
#BorderPatrol raids campsite of protesters trying to save last tree set to be razed by #BorderWall construction in Southern #Arizona
Mia Kortright
Updated Oct 7, 2026, 10:34 pm Originally posted Oct 7, 2026, 8:51 pm"Activists trying to protect a centuries-old cottonwood in the path of border wall construction in Southern Arizona stopped work again Wednesday, after one person locked themselves to a construction vehicle and another remained in the tree.
"Border Patrol agents used pepper-spray on the protesters Wednesday evening, while the woman was tethered to a gravel hauling truck used in border wall construction.
"That marked the third day the site, dubbed "Camp O:Shad" by the activists, has been raided by Border Patrol agents.
"An activist had spent nearly seven hours locked to a gravel hauler used in construction Wednesday evening, and was still locked to it after 9 p.m. when BP agents attempted to take her into custody while using what appeared to be tear gas on surrounding protesters. It took agents about 30 minutes to saw through the device she used to lock herself to the vehicle before she was driven away from the site in a white Border Patrol pickup truck around 10:30 p.m.
"Other protesters could be heard on a live stream of the incident, calling 'We love you' to her throughout the evening.
"Minutes earlier, the activists said, agents started firing pepper balls while pushing the hauler with the person still locked to it. Demonstrators said agents also threatened to take her 'to the middle of nowhere where no one can hear you scream.'
"Activists said they called 911 Wednesday evening and asked for medical help. Patagonia Fire Department personnel responded, but were 'turned away' by Border Patrol officials.
"The group has camped at a property in the small hamlet of #LochielAZ since late July in an effort to prevent a small grove of Frémont #CottonwoodTrees , each estimated to be about 200 years old, from being demolished in #BorderWall construction.
"Construction crews this summer razed three of four in a cluster on the side on the United States side of the border. The final one, which the group named 'Grandmother,' was knocked down on Monday, the first day of the raid."

Judge rejects emergency request to halt border wall work on O’odham Nation
Court denies move to halt Trump admin construction set to start #ColumbusDay along Mexico border of Southern Az reservationPaul Ingram, Posted Oct 8, 2026
"A federal judge rejected the #TohonoOodhamNation 's injunction request Thursday, allowing the #Trump administration to begin removing #saguaros and #ocotillos in the path of #BorderWall construction in #Arizona early next week.
"On Monday, Riyaz A. Kanji, an attorney for the #TohonoOodham Nation, filed an emergency motion asking the Washington D.C court to intervene because the case has moved to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and they have said they will not listen to arguments until later this year. The appellate court asked attorneys representing the Department of Homeland Security to file motions by Oct. 15 with replies from the tribe scheduled for Oct. 22.
"However, #DHS officials have said they intend to 'commence significant activity on the reservation in furtherance of his border project' on Monday, Oct. 12. This will include the removal of thousands of saguaros and ocotillo that stand in the path of the construction project, Kanji wrote. 'The destruction of massive numbers of #SaguaroCacti that will commence early next week absent intervention by this court constitutes quintessential irreparable harm.' "

#TohonoOodham , faith leaders gather in prayer to protect #SacredLand from #BorderWall
By: Kenny Darr
Posted 8:00 AM, Oct 08, 2026 and last updated 8:35 AM, Oct 08, 2026#TucsonAZ (KGUN) — Tohono O'odham leaders and people of many faiths gathered in prayer Wednesday in the Nation's #SanXavier District, with one message: protect this land from the border wall.
"The vigil comes days after crews cut down a #cottonwood estimated to be about 200 years old near #Lochiel to make way for the wall. Tohono O'odham Chairman #VerlonJose said crews plan to return Oct. 12 to start clearing vegetation along the Nation's border, including #saguaros.
" 'When people ask me what I think about the border and how does it make me feel, I tell them it is if someone got a knife and dragged it across my heart; it's a scar that never will be healed,' Jose told the crowd.
"The event began with a procession from Mission San Xavier del Bac to the San Xavier Community Center. Dozens walked carrying signs that read 'Tree spirits stand tall' and 'Don't let sacred saguaros be crucified like Jesus.'
"Jose became emotional as he addressed the crowd, telling them he had been crying even before he arrived. He said elders who once fought the wall have since died, and that some who remain say they don't want to live to see it built.
" 'The Tohono O'odham Nation will not stand down,' Jose told the crowd.
"In an interview with KGUN 9 after the vigil, Jose said #burial and #ArchaeologicalSites sit along the border in the wall's path.
" 'How would you like it if it came to your home, your apartment, to your gated community, and I destroyed your front yard, your backyard, and then asked you where are your relatives buried?' Jose said.
"He said those sites are known to the Nation and are kept private to keep them protected.
"Jose told the crowd the Nation's Legislative Council recognizes the #saguaro as a person.
" 'When you kill those, you're killing our children. You're killing our elders. You're killing our people, and we must protect them,' he said.
"On Monday, federal agents raided a #ProtestCamp near Lochiel in the #SanRafaelValley , where activists had kept a round-the-clock tree-sit for 71 days. Contractors then cut down the last of four #cottonwoods marked for removal. Activists said more than 10 people were arrested."

Picture a generation of Coharie youth who watch solar panels rise over their coastal‑plain fields and know that the money they generate stays in their own community. By capturing that revenue early, the tribe can build the political leverage needed to shape regional energy policy and forge coalitions that amplify its voice.

#Arizona governor sides with #TohonoOodham in fight against #BorderWall
by Howard Fischer, Sep 25, 2026
"Gov. #KatieHobbs is siding with the #TohonoOodhamNation in its bid to at least delay work on a border wall the federal government wants to build along its boundary with #Mexico.
" ' #Arizona's own record demonstrates that vigorous border security does not require disregarding #tribalSovereignty ,' Justin Cox, a private attorney representing Hobbs, told the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. He said the state has achieved 'major enforcement results'' through cooperation with the tribe.
"But Hobbs is not asking that the 62-mile double-layered 30-foot-high steel and concrete barrier be canceled entirely — at least not at this point. Nor is she taking a position on the underlying legal question of whether the land where the twin walls are being proposed belongs to the tribe or the federal government.
"What she wants is to stop further work while these issues are worked out."

WTF! Now #EnergyWeapons being used above #FirstNations ?! THIS IS WAR!!!
Bizarre Flights Above #TohonoOodhamNation: #USMilitary Claims it is Eliminating Enemy Drones using #DirectEnergyLasers? Or is it a ruse to use #ArmedDrones against #Oodham ?
The U.S. military now claims it took out three enemy #drones overnight that were
targeting the #USBorderPatrolBy #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, September 25, 2026
#TucsonAZ - "Those Bizarre Border Flights. The unidentified flights above the #TohonoOodham Nation border have now been identified as military drones, the kind used in war zones. After being spotlighted for weeks in our news reports, the U.S. military now says it took out three enemy drones using #DirectEnergyLasers during the night, saying that the drones posed a threat to the U.S. #BorderPatrol. However, no names or places were given.
"Although the mystery aircrafts were finally identified by the US military, we haven't found any explanation for these flights going back and forth from the O'odham border to foreign countries over the past few weeks.
"The most bizarre were multiple trips from the O'odham border to the United Arab Emirates in the middle east. The aircraft was tracked to a site off the coast of the #UAE, where it turned around and went back to the O'odham border."

#BorderWall threatens tribe’s way of life
#Trump administration plan would split the #TohonoOodhamNation apart, damage #SacredSites, tribal leaders say.
by Daniel Herrera Carbajal, September 25, 2026
SELLS, #Arizona — "For thousands of years the #TohonoOodham people have lived in their homelands in what is today southern Arizona and northern #Mexico. For centuries since the #ArtificialBorder went up between the United States and its southern neighbor, tribal members have moved north and south relatively freely.
"That might end soon.
"The Trump administration is planning to build a border wall through the nation that would split the community apart and force tribal citizens to get visas to visit relatives or the doctor.
" 'I stand on the principles of our forefathers, of our beliefs and our culture and the position that our people have taken on an opposition to a destructive wall,' Tohono O’odham Chairman #VerlonJose told ICT.
"The Tohono O’odham Nation sued the Department of Homeland Security in federal court in June, arguing the wall illegally seized #SovereignLand and desecrated ancient #SacredSites."

US Military Surveillance After Federal Agents Take Control of #TohonoOodham Nation
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, September 23, 2026
"The flight patterns of US military aircraft over the Tohono O'odham Nation leave questions unanswered.
The question is: With military surveillance from the air, and 10 #SpyTowers built by #Israel's #Elbit Systems on tribal land -- why are so many #migrants left to die on the Tohono O'odham Nation. Are the expensive surveillance systems failing, or is the United States involved in a #CrimeAgainstHumanity.
"The spy towers, integrated fixed towers, provide the US #BorderPatrol with live video surveillance of the border and interior of #TribalLand. Each tower provides surveillance, even at night, for seven miles out.
"At the same time, masked and armed federal agents took control of tribal land and prevented Tohono O'odham tribal police from entering their sovereign land to issue citations for trespass to border wall contractors. The #BorderWall contractors immediately began drilling."

Use of masked agents on #TohonoOodham land sparks Native outrage at Cherokee #DHS chief #MarkwayneMullin
by Eileen Mamaghani and Ellis Preston August 28, 2026
WASHINGTON – "The recent incursion by masked federal agents on Tohono O’odham land didn’t just anger that tribe, which has been trying to block #BorderWall construction along the remote stretch it controls in #Arizona.
"It also infuriated #NativeAmericans who had higher hopes for Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the former Oklahoma senator who is only the second Indigenous cabinet member ever.
" 'This is especially disappointing when the DHS is headed by … a member of the #CherokeeNation,' said Angelique EagleWoman, director of the Native American Law and Sovereignty Institute at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Minnesota.
"Agents from Customs and Border Protection and the Bureau of Indian Affairs entered the Tohono O’odham Nation at 4 a.m. on Tuesday to prevent tribal authorities from blocking contractors, according to a statement issued that day by the Nation.
"Jason Nichols, like Mullin a member of the Cherokee Nation, called the incursion by masked agents a 'step backward' in federal-tribal relations – and surprising, given Mullin’s 'knowledge on the importance of #TribalSovereignty.' "
