BREAKING! Supreme Court Refuses Plea to #ProtectOakFlat

#ApacheStronghold said it will continue the fight in the courts

#WendslerNosieSr. said, "While this decision is a heavy blow, our struggle is far from over. We urge Congress to take decisive action to stop this injustice while we press forward in the courts."

By Becket Law, Censored News, May 27, 2025

WASHINGTON – "The Supreme Court today refused to protect a Western Apache sacred site, #OakFlat, from destruction by a Chinese-owned mining giant. In Apache Stronghold v. United States, a coalition of Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies will now continue to fight in court to
stop the government from transferring Oak Flat to #ResolutionCopper and turning the site into a massive mining
crater, ending Apache religious practices forever.

"#JusticeGorsuch, joined by #JusticeThomas, dissented from the Court’s refusal to hear the appeal,
saying that the Court’s 'decision to shuffle this case off our docket without a full airing is a grievous mistake—one with consequences that threaten to reverberate for generations.'

"Since time immemorial, Western Apaches and other Native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat, outside of present-day Superior, Arizona, for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else."

Eli Weasel: American Hero or American Fool?

Eli and five friends built Tankosin Indian Reservation's local TDG.

So, in your opinion, would they be heros or fools for trying to build a new democracy?

El baile invernal del lobo (Tlo’kwa’na) de los kwakiutl de la isla de Nutca, junto a la isla de Vancouver, era un ritual de paso. Los enmascarados se llevaban a los jóvenes al bosque, donde se asalvajaban con el espíritu del lobo y eran domados, obteniendo dones y un propósito cuando el espíritu los abandonaba. Los enmascarados llevaban tres máscaras distintas para cada etapa del ritual. #vancouver #nativosamericanos #nativeamericans

The nation’s oldest and largest #Indigenous sorority is bracing for #DEI orders

#AlphaPiOmega is helping young #NativeAmerican women grow strong in their identities — but their future on college campuses is in question.

Alexis Wray
Published May 12, 2025

Excerpt: "#DEI initiatives in education, government and workplaces are continuing to be targeted by #Republican lawmakers across the country; in #NorthCarolina there are multiple bills filed, some targeting #HigherEducation institutions.

"Senate Bill 558, also known as the 'Eliminating ‘DEI’ in Public Higher Education,' would require the University of North Carolina system and local community colleges to prohibit certain concepts and efforts associated with DEI. The Senate passed the bill and now it heads to the House of Representatives for consideration. Because of the vague nature of the bill, if passed the language has to be finalized before enacted.

" 'We want to have schools that are able to inspire, teach and engage students from different backgrounds, experiences and identities and Indigenous students are an important part of that,' Robinson said.

" 'We want there to be programs and support that can speak to the Indigenous perspective and experience. We’re going to potentially lose that and all these different tools that have been built up over the last several decades to successfully support and mentor any number of different students, including Native students.' "
