Happy #indigenouspeoplesday from Baltimore (home of the Piscataway and the Susquehannock)
#StolenLands
When will more people realize #BCNDP are basically corrupt #Conservatives who are selling us out? Their actions are not defensible if you're a true environmentalist & humanitarian.
They've greenlit #MountPolley #mine - despite the wretched recent history of environmental violations & cleanups are still not fully done on past issues.

#Bill14 & #Bill15 are #undemocratic bills that #BCNDP is shoving through. This #BCgovernment, under greasy #JohnHorgan groomed super sellout, former civil liberties lawyer guy, #DavidEby - is breaking its own law under the Declaration of the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples.
This type of #neoliberalism is right in line with #BillC5 from #GovernmentOfCanada under #MarkCarney federal Liberals(Conservatives, basically). They take actions which are against the publics' interests. They serve corporations over people & environment. They are always greenwashing & whitewashing, while helping with ecocidal corporate plundering & endangering our liveable futures.
These corrupted, corporate lobbyist pandering governments don't really give a damn about #IndigenousCommunities - they still want to exploit lands & steal resources without prior consultation or consent.

Israelis Are Selling Stolen Palestinian Land To Americans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gf0SI4Nk2U
“Everything you love about America, right here in Israel.”
While Israel decimates Palestinians in Gaza, real estate firms are touring the U.S. looking for buyers to purchase property in Israel and in illegal West Bank settlements.

From #Yosemite to #BearsEars, Erasing #NativeAmericans From #USNationalParks
The foundational myth of America’s National Parks is one of heroic preservation of “pristine wilderness” — but places like Yosemite were already home to thriving communities that cherished the #environment around them.
by Hunter Oatman-Stanford
"Today, the foundational myth of America’s National Parks revolves around the heroic preservation of 'pristine wilderness,' places supposedly devoid of human inhabitants that were saved in an unaltered state for future generations. This is obviously a falsehood: Places like Yosemite were already home to thriving communities that had long cherished—and changed—the environment around them. #GeorgeCatlin’s paintings are vivid reminders that the vast expanses of our western frontier were not empty, but rather brimming with human cultures.
"'#NativeAmericans would later be put on display like animals in a zoo.'
"Though the National Park Service prevented wholesale #industrialization, they still packaged the wilderness for consumption, creating a scenic, pre-historical fantasy surrounded by roads and tourist accommodations, all designed to mask the violence inherent to these parks’ creation. More than a century later, the #UnitedStates has done little to acknowledge the government-led #genocide of #NativePopulations, as well as the continued hardships they face because of the many #BadFaith #treaties enacted by the U.S. government. This story is an elemental part of our National Park system, the great outdoor museum of the American landscape, but the myth continues to outweigh the truth. How did the National Park Service evict Yosemite’s indigenous communities and erase their history, and can it come to terms with this troubling legacy today?
[...]
"Despite the obvious claims of indigenous peoples to their lands, white officials frequently justified their removal by claiming that #NativeAmericans weren’t good stewards of the new American frontier. In its excellent exhibition, 'Nation to Nation: Treaties Between the United States and American Indian Nations,' the National Museum of the American Indian points out the myriad ways the United States government repeatedly lied about, altered, and disregarded legal contracts intended to secure native access to the land they already lived on. Beyond this egregious, criminal behavior on the part of U.S. officials, they also relied on written documentation, disadvantaging tribal officials who were accustomed to oral agreements or not fluent in English. Sometimes contracts were even negotiated by individuals that had no power to speak for their larger native community."

#Gold, #silver and #lithium #mining on #FederalLand doesn’t bring in any royalties to the US Treasury – because of an 1872 law
Story by Sam Kalen, 2/25/2024
"Today, mining is a high-technology industry, but it is still governed by the Mining Law of 1872. As was true 150 years ago, companies can mine valuable mineral deposits from federal lands without paying any royalties to the U.S. Treasury.
"Even when lands that formerly were available for mining receive new protected status as national parks or monuments, the 1872 mining law protects existing mining claims on those lands. That’s why a company called Energy Fuels Inc. just started mining uranium in January 2024 at a site in Arizona 10 miles from the Grand Canyon and inside a new national monument.
[...]
"Reform advocates support adopting the type of traditional leasing model that is used for most other resources on public lands in the U.S. and elsewhere. As an example, for oil and gas production on federal lands and offshore in federal waters, agencies identify areas with development potential and hold competitive auctions to lease parcels for exploration and development.
"Reformists also favor tighter environmental safeguards that would address issues such as management and disposal of mining wastes. Finally, they argue that mining should be prohibited in areas that are ecologically sensitive or are important to Indigenous peoples or tribal nations."

Latest from #ForbiddenStories:
We investigated #StolenLands in #India linked to a proposed $44 billion refinery project.
Work left behind by murdered journalist Shashikant Warishe led us to the nexus of land agents and politicians in Maharashtra. One of these land agents, accused of running over Warishe with his SUV, was a kingpin in this network and had direct ties to the refinery.
A pack of fucking SiegHeil-Wannabes!! This is NOT Jewishness!!!

Ah, Dominion Day. The day we celebrate the independence of Colonial Canada from Imperial Britain, and gloss over the 155 years where Canada is independently responsible for abuse, rape, and genocide of Indigenous People.
While important to celebrate the nation's achievements, it's equally important to recognize it was accomplished on #StolenLands and at the irreversible cost of the culture, language, and lives of many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis.
Celebrate the achievements, remember the cost, and work together toward a future where traditional Indigenous knowledge, language, and culture not merely survives, but is embraced.
