They could defend their efforts and say, in essence, Who cares about the burgeoning carnage? We want social justice, the blood of innocents be damned. Or they could apologize: We blew it! Our soft-headed ideas were gunned down by reality. Sorry!  Instead, Democrats are performing a political trifecta of hypocrisy, deceit, and psychological projection: Democrats didn’t defund the police. Republicans did. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1612292113 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1582900192 1-28-20 What is Happening in Wet’suwet’en? n the dark early morning on February 6, 2020, the RCMP violently raided Wet’suwet’en territory in Northern British Columbia, Canada. “They’re invading our people again, starting in the wee hours of the morning, arresting people who have been providing food and medical supplies to our camps, who are camped out along the side of the road doing amazing and righteous work.

The act was made possible by a small but substantial change in the Foundation’s bylaws, which created the possibility for people who are not career servants to assume commissioned positions of command. The change came shortly before the appointment, indicating that Ricardo Dias’ specific appointment was the reason for the reform.

As reported by Indian Country Today, the Bureau of Land Management, which falls under the Department of the Interior (as does the Bureau of Indian Affairs), was forced to cancel an oil and gas lease in the Badger-Two Medicine region in northwestern Montana earlier this month, thereby keeping land that is culturally and traditionally sacred to members of the Blackfoot Nation pristine. "It's a very historic day for the Blackfeet," said John Murray, the Blackfeet Nation's Historic Preservation Officer, Indian Country Today reported. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, in a statement announcing the decision, said that it was the correct action to take on behalf of the tribe and its future members. "Today's action honors Badger-Two Medicine's rich cultural and natural resources and recognizes the irreparable impacts that oil and gas development would have on them," Jewell said. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1451758635 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1442678395 Sept. 19, 2015 Under threat of death, Muduruku expel miners from their territories, west of Para. Night had hardly arrived when indigenous Munduruku people landed on the bank of a mine on Tropas River, a tributary of Tapajós river, in a region west of Pará.  From the five speedboats, all of them full, came warriors and children, all with one objective: to drive out illegal miners from Munduruku land. Right at the entrance of the shed, the indigenous encountered two of the twelve miners present. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1430141615 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1416668709 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1415725274 NOv. 9, 2014 Indigenous people of ethnic Pataxo struggle to return their lands.

Credit: INDEPA LIMA, Mar 26 2013 (IPS) - In the dense Amazon rainforest of Peru, there are five reserves inhabited by indigenous groups who have chosen to remain totally or partially isolated from the rest of society. But these areas are not officially demarcated as indigenous lands, and only one is protected with a control post. The authorities responsible for them are now attempting to reinforce protection of these vulnerable populations, ignored for years by the state. “A reserve is an instrument to protect the rights of these communities, who have found themselves obliged to live in isolation due to a series of violations they have suffered, particularly during the rubber boom. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1363014951 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1360246040 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1356107316 Dec. 20, 2012 An international lawyer says that there is a cover up by Canada’s ruling class and its police over disappearance and killings of Aboriginal women and children in Canada. In the background of this, Amnesty International has issued a damning report of serious violation of human rights in Canada concerning the indigenous people, women and refuges/migrants. Most concerning is the government’s police kidnapping aboriginal children from schools and away from their parents, at gun point, to put them in child care centers. The Canadian government has also recently lodged a Bill C45 through parliament to change the rules about aboriginal land and its recourses, which have been unofficially violated for some time and which has triggered protests and hunger strikes. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1350848717 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/native_american/indigenous_people/news.php?q=1320419571 The Oakland Police Department has come under fire for tactics used on Tuesday night to clear Occupy Oakland protesters from their camp near City Hall. Police fired tear gas and bean bag rounds, and one protester, Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen, suffered a skull fracture during the melee. Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan promised an investigation into whether police used excessive force during the clash, but the incident, which has received international attention, is just the latest in a long string of troubles for the Oakland police. Since 2003, the department has been monitored by a federal judge as a result of a consent decree with the federal government. The decree came following a scandal in which four police officers, who nicknamed themselves “The Riders,” were accused of beating up and robbing suspects and planting evidence while they worked the night shift in a poverty stricken neighborhood in West Oakland.
