The 10 Indigenous news stories that marked 2024

"In 2023, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ people alongside partnering tribes asserted sovereignty over the 700 square miles of their ancestral fisheries. Now in 2024, in this film by Jeremy Charles of Smith River, California, we see how marine science and resource management can be guided by community and culture."

After 170 years of armed attacks, #ForcedRelocations, #EthnicCleansing, and #genocide of #NativeAmericans, the #USMilitary wants to celebrate.
by Nick Turse
November 28 2024,
"'The Army was, bottom line, an instrument of a settler colonial empire that was determined to convert Native lands into private property for mostly white settlers,' said Jeffrey Ostler, professor of history emeritus at the University of Oregon and author of 'Surviving Genocide: Native Nations and the United States From the American Revolution to Bleeding Kansas.' 'That was its mission: to carry out a federal government policy that, in practice, often became a genocidal war.'"

LINCOLN CITY, Ore. (AP) — "Drumming made the floor vibrate and singing filled the conference room of the Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City, on the Oregon coast, as hundreds in tribal regalia danced in a circle.
"For the last 47 years, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians have held an annual powwow to celebrate regaining federal recognition. This month’s event, however, was especially significant: It came just two weeks after a federal court lifted restrictions on the tribe’s rights to hunt, fish and gather — restrictions tribal leaders had opposed for decades.
"'We’re back to the way we were before,' Siletz Chairman Delores Pigsley said.
'It feels really good.'
"The Siletz is a confederation of over two dozen bands and tribes whose traditional homelands spanned a large swath of what is now western Oregon. The federal government in the 1850s forced them onto a reservation on the Oregon coast, where they were confederated together as a single, federally recognized tribe despite their different backgrounds and languages.
"The Siletz is a confederation of over two dozen bands and tribes whose traditional homelands spanned a large swath of what is now western Oregon. The federal government in the 1850s forced them onto a reservation on the Oregon coast, where they were confederated together as a single, federally recognized tribe despite their different backgrounds and languages.
“The goal was to try and assimilate Native people, get them moved into cities,” said Matthew Campbell, deputy director of the Native American Rights Fund. 'But also I think there was certainly a financial aspect to it. I think the United States was trying to see how it could limit its costs in terms of providing for tribal nations.'
"Losing their lands and self-governance was painful, and the tribes fought for decades to regain federal recognition. In 1977, the Siletz became the second tribe to succeed, following the restoration of the Menominee Tribe in Wisconsin in 1973.
"In the 1950s and ‘60s, Congress revoked recognition of over 100 tribes, including the Siletz, under a policy known as 'termination.' Affected tribes lost millions of acres of land as well as federal funding and services.
"But to get a fraction of its land back — roughly 3,600 acres (1,457 hectares) of the 1.1-million-acre (445,000-hectare) reservation established for the tribe in 1855 — the Siletz tribe had to agree to a federal court order that restricted their hunting, fishing and gathering rights. It was only one of two tribes in the country, along with Oregon’s Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, compelled to do so to regain tribal land."

Oregon tribe has hunting and fishing rights restored under a long-sought court ruling

"The charges of Conspiracy to a Felony, and #Trespassing against the six of the Akwesasne 8, who appeared today, were dismissed today at Massena Town Court. The District Attorney stated that New York Power Authority (#NYPA) did not produce appropriate documents to move forward
"Researchers for the Akwesasne 8 had gone to the St. Lawrence County Office for Deeds and Records to find a Deed/Land Title showing NYPA ownership. There is no record. When discovery documents were offered to the Akwesasne 8, each asked whether the documents contained a Title to the land on which the Akwesasne 8 were arrested. The District Attorney implied such documents were not part of the discovery packets.
"In March 2022, Federal Judge Kahn of the Northern New York District of US Federal Court, ruled that New York State possession of #Mohawk land is a violation of the #NonintercourseAct which prohibits land transfer of Indian land to non-Indians without Congressional approval.
"On May 22, 2024 eight Kanienke’háka were arrested for Trespassing at #Niionenhiasekówahne (Barnhart Island). Seven of the eight were charged with Conspiracy to a Felony. One person was charged with a Felony.
There is a long history of #Onkwehonwe relations to Niionenhiasekowá:ne (Barnhart Island) - from the Dish With One Spoon Agreement, to Onkwehonwe families living on the island, and continue today through Kanienke’háka assertion of hunting, fishing, tree tapping, and #MedicineGathering liberties.
"The Akwesasne Mohawk #LandClaimSettlement agreement seeks to sever Onkwehonwe relationship to Niionenhiasekowá:ne, formally ceding the island's title to New York State for $70 million and subjecting our hunting and gathering rights to foreign governments.
The Onkwehonwe that began construction at Niionenhiasekowá:ne acted in assertion of Kanienke’háka inherent and original rights as well as the pre-existing governance of Kaienerekowa.
“'The Band Council, Tribe, state and federal governments are outside Kaienerekowa governance as younger governmental entities cannot and will not ostracize us from our lands and waters,' said one of the Akwesasne 8.
"'We are going back to Niionenhiasekowá:ne because it is Kanienke’háka land,' a group of the Akwesasne 8 stated."

#KleeBenally 'Carry On'
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, April 9, 2024
"Klee, discussing resource extraction, and how the #NavajoTribalCouncil was created to sign #oil and #gas leases, quotes our friend, the gentle, soft-spoken farmer from Shiprock, who received his doctorate degree before passing, Larry Emerson.
"'There is no point in trying to #decolonize the Navajo government -- it was not right for us from the start. Its structure and process is a replica of the American system, and the American system appears to be edging toward the possibility of failure like the great #RomanEmpire.'
"Writing on these monsters, oil and gas extraction, and coal mining, Klee quotes #LouiseBenally of #BigMountain, his aunt, whose family spent their lives resisting coal mining, #ForcedRelocation, and the machinery of the tribal government.
"Louise said, 'The natural laws and the Indigenous Peoples were already here in a good relationship before the coming of the #colonial society who draws laws and boundaries. However, we #IndigenousPeoples will always have ties with these lands, we will continue to live that way with #nature and we will carry on.'
"Klee shares the words of his grandmother, Roberta Blackgoat, who never gave up the fight. 'The Coal they strip mine is the Earth's liver."
Although many have passed, and too many have died from broken hearts, there are those who live on, carry on.
"Klee writes, 'The remaining resisters to forced relocation have outlived the monster that was consuming our lands, stealing our water, and polluting our lungs.'
"Before passing, Klee described the monsters, the rage against the machine, and the ways of restoring balance and harmony.
