PL490 (a law project) suggests the end of demarcations and regularization of mining at indigenous lands in Brazil. This is a great attack against Indigenous people and the Enviroment.

The Guardians are one of two indigenous groups on the eastern fringe of the Amazon that have taken radical action to reduce illegal logging. They have tied up loggers, torched their trucks and tractors, and kicked them off the reserves.
As a result, such logging has sharply declined in these territories. But the indigenous groups have faced reprisal attacks and death threats for their actions, raising fears of more violence in an area known for its lawlessness.
“We do not scream out of grief. We do not cry out of sorrow. We do not murmur in resignation.
Our voice is so That Those Who are absent find the path of return.
So That They Know That Even Though They are here They are absent.
So That They Do not Forget That They are not forgotten.
Because of this: from pain, from rage, for truth, for justice, for Ayotzinapa and for all of the Ayotzinapas That wound the calendars and geographies from below.
This is why we resist.
This is why we rebel.
Because the time will come When Those Who will owe us everything Have to pay.”
A person in a grey hoodie and glasses comes into view, messing with and brushing their hair as white text appears above them.
“As of February of this year-“ (last year, 2020), “61 reserves across Canada dont have access to clean water, or are on boil advisories.“
“Neskantaga First Nation in northwestern Ontario has been on boil water advisory for 25 years. And recently had to but 300 band members in a hotel in Thunder Bay over the holidays during a pandemic. Due to the governments neglect of their crisis.”
The person starts taking three strands of their hair and braided it.
“My reserve, Chapleau Cree Dirst Nation has been living off bottled water for years and i cannot remember the last time i was able to drink from the tap on the rez. But if you drive 5 minutes to the nearby town, their waters fine.”
They start braiding the right side.
“This is a reality hundreds of Indigenous people in Canada still have to face.”

Eight men are on trial in Honduras for the murder of environmentalist Berta Cáceres, who was gunned down in her home in La Esperanza in 2016. A verdict is expected this week—but UC Santa Cruz historian and author Dana Frank said on Democracy Now! today that the trial has been flawed from the outset:
“The trial itself has been a travesty. The government prosecutors have not introduced or taken into account a vast range of evidence of text messages, seized computer messages, phone call records that implicate all kinds of people. And they’re not taking that into account. And also Honduran law says that the family of the victim has the right to review all of the evidence, has the right to be there in court, and that has been violated over and over and over again.
So we’re going to get some kind of verdict—probably somebody’s going to take a fall for this—but we should not in any way confuse that with justice for Berta. The fact that there is even a trial is mostly because of international pressure, including from the United States Congress and people like yourselves. There is going to be a lot of pressure to act like somehow justice has been done and we’re going to put this under the rug, sweep it under the rug.
And it’s really important to say that this is not going to be justice for Berta. This is going to be some kind of a—something for show, as they say in Honduras—and that we still have to call for justice for Berta and have the true perpetrators fully brought to justice.”
“In November 2001, Pasfield’s son’s third-grade class in Ann Arbor, Michigan, started a unit about a Great Lakes people called the Potawatomi. They visited the Great Lakes Indians dioramas in what was then called the Exhibit Museum of Natural History in Ann Arbor for their final activity. Afterward, the boy illustrated the cover of his folder that contained all the worksheets from his unit on the Potawatomi Indians. He drew three deep graves with skeletons at the bottom and tombstones that said “R.I.P.” “This was devastating to me as a mother,” Pasfield says, “because my son is an enrolled tribal member.” Read more in our new article on indigenous histories and dioramas by Francie Diep.
Racist Illegitimate Puppet President Trump being Trump. Absolutely no respect for people who actually fought in war and wasn’t a coward who got deferments to avoid war. Trump is a draft dodging coward.
