"Historians say American colonisers, who seized the Philippines from Spain in 1898, took over the 32,000-hectare (80,000-acre) tract that became Clark Air Base in the 1920s, dispossessing the Aetas, a seminomadic and dark-skinned people thought to be among the archipelago’s earliest inhabitants."

A quote about "green energy": "The UN itself bemoans the fact that Indigenous people “safeguard 80 per cent of the planet’s remaining biodiversity – yet receive less than one per cent of international climate funding.” This discrepancy undermines the fundamental assumptions of the UN approach, which is predominantly reliant on investment as a tool for change. Consider how much Indigenous peoples around the world do with so little money. Contrast that with green energy, which is a hub of public and private investment. The green energy boom is the impetus for a devastating wave of land theft and new mining projects, which disproportionately harm Indigenous communities and the rural poor. And while recovery of Indigenous lands and traditions has clear, positive impact on the environment, green energy has actually increased fossil fuel production."

House on Fire Ruins
South Mule Canyon, UT

Not the usual perspective one typically sees for this famous ancient dwelling. My 10mm ultra-wide lens makes the curving cliff face look more dome-like, which it is not. But this way you can see all of the several units of the ruins.

The "fire" refers to the layering pattern in the sandstone, which is more obvious in close ups of the units.

#HumanZoos tells the shocking story of how thousands of #Indigenous peoples were put on public display in #USA in the early decades of the twentieth century.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=nY6Zrol5

Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes, these #NativePeoples were harassed and demeaned. Their #PublicDisplay was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the #ScientificCommunity, and it was promoted uncritically by American's leading newspapers. This award-winning #documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how #AfricanAmerican ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on #SocialDarwinism in order to #dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of #eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings based on #Darwinian principles.

#Apaches ask lower court to stop government’s imminent transfer of #SacredSite

Becket Law, via #CensoredNews, April 25, 2025

There will be a Hearing May 7, 2025 @ 0930 @ Sandra Day O’Connor
U.S. Courthouse, 401 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85003

WASHINGTON – "A coalition of #WesternApaches, other #NativePeoples, and non-Native #allies asked a federal court late yesterday to stop the U.S. government from handing over their sacred site at Oak Flat to a multinational mining giant as early as June 16, 2025.

"In #ApacheStronghold v. United States, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last year refused to stop the federal government from transferring #OakFlat to #ResolutionCopper, a Chinese-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive mining crater, ending Apache religious practices forever (Watch the short video linked below to learn more).

"The emergency appeal comes after the government announced last week it will forge ahead with the transfer even though the case is currently under consideration by the #USSupremeCourt."

@daswarkeinhuhn I'm sorry that I don't know what name the Native Peoples used for it (probably many, depending on the language spoken), but meanwhile I suggest Gulf of Nahua, as that seems to be the group with the largest coastline.
