Her tragic capture in 1819, the loss of her family, and her community’s struggle are a powerful reminder of the painful, traumatic history that all Indigenous peoples everywhere have endured for centuries

Let's talk about why Trump is talking about Columbus Day....
I'm neither #American, nor #Italian, but even if I were both, I would not want anything to do with this "#holiday," ESPECIALLY now that it has HIS "endorsement."
The ONE consistency Trump has shown is #evilness. He is incapable of doing the right thing even if he benefits from it. #NewYorkers should take this as a sign.

Axios · Trump says he's bringing back Columbus Day, but it never went anywhere
Trump is "bringing" back a federal holiday that has been a federal holiday since 1937. Columbus Day...
What he is doing is undoing Joe Biden's 2021 Indigenous Peoples Day proclamation that celebrated “the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples” and recognize “their inherent sovereignty.”
In other words, Trump and his GOP cohorts are just being racist again.
It should be noted that Columbus’ expeditions never touched the North American continent, let alone any land that is now part of the United States.

#StandingRockSioux Tribe files new lawsuit over #DAPL
By: Mary Steurer - October 15, 2024
"The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe on Monday filed a new lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers arguing that the #DakotaAccessPipeline is operating illegally and must be shut down.
"The tribe has long opposed the pipeline, also referred to as DAPL, due to concerns that it violates the tribe’s #sovereignty, endangers #sacred cultural sites and threatens to pollute the tribe’s #WaterSupply.
"The Army Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over the section of the pipeline that passes under #LakeOahe — a reservoir on the #MissouriRiver — roughly a half-mile upstream from the #StandingRockReservation.
"The tribe in a 34-page complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia argues the Army Corps flouted federal regulations by allowing the pipeline to operate without an easement, sufficient study of possible #environmental impacts or the necessary emergency spill response plans, among other alleged violations.
"'We are fighting for our rights and the water that is life for Oceti Sakowin tribes,' Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairwoman #JanetAlkire said during a news conference the afternoon of #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
"The Army Corps of Engineers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"The more than 1,000-mile-long pipeline carries crude oil from the #BakkenOilFields of northwest North Dakota to Illinois, and has been operating since 2017. Its pathway includes #unceded land recognized as belonging to the #SiouxNation under an #1851Treaty with the U.S. government.
"The lawsuit was triggered in part by a 2024 engineering report that raised questions about the construction of the pipeline crossing below Lake Oahe, representatives of the tribe said Monday.
"The report calculated that up to 1.4 million gallons of bentonite clay-based drilling mud used in the horizontal directional drilling process was not fully accounted for in construction records. The report notes that there is no clear indication where the fluid migrated, but that it could have seeped into the surrounding soil.
“'The Corps has failed to act and failed to protect the tribe,' Alkire said of the report’s findings.
"The report was prepared by engineering consulting firm Exponent for environmental advocacy group #Greenpeace as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by pipeline developer #EnergyTransfer. Greenpeace commissioned the report to defend itself against Energy Transfer’s allegations that Greenpeace defamed the pipeline during its involvement in protests against DAPL in 2016 and 2017.
[...]
"Standing Rock’s complaint also emphasizes that the Dakota Access Pipeline has still been allowed to operate despite that it no longer has an easement authorizing it to cross under Lake Oahe.
"The Army Corps approved the easement in 2017, but a federal judge later revoked it in 2020, finding that the Corps violated environmental law by granting it without properly researching the possible environmental impacts of the pipeline.
[...]
"The ban was related to a criminal pollution case against Energy Transfer for two pipelines in #Pennsylvania. Violations alleged in the criminal case included that Energy Transfer had used unapproved additives in the #DrillingFluid used to construct one of the pipelines. The company was convicted of #EnvironmentalCrimes under Pennsylvania law.
"For this reason, Standing Rock wonders whether the drilling fluid used to bore under Lake Oahe truly contained no toxins.
"'That’s a question the tribe has — what was in the drilling fluid?' Don Holstrom, an environmental consultant for Standing Rock, said Monday."

The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe was on a 90 day trail to DC to fight for tribal recognition. You can read about it here: https://muwekma.org/TrailofTruth/
They arrived Monday but were not met well by the Parks Police. I think a couple of people were arrested. They regrouped and are asking for support. I don't have Instagram but their needs are listed on their instagram account. Tried to post link but it doesn't work. get from site above.
