Native People Rush to Feed the People

by @bsnorrell.blogspot.com, #CensoredNews, November 5, 2025

"The #BlackfeetNation brought in a load of produce from the #YakamaNation, and #FortPeck announced buffalo distribution. #GilaRiver is giving tribal members $1,000 in hardship funds, as the government shut-down continues.

"Blackfeet Tribal Council Member Mike Comes At Night brought in a load of produce from the Yakama Nation in Washington State for the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. 'We made it home safely from the Yakama Nation with a generous load of produce for the Blackfeet People. I am honored, as a Councilman, to serve our people. I’ve traveled hundreds of miles to help
bring food home, and at the end of the day, I know I am doing my job. I also want to thank all the farmers who helped us with this food — may the Creator bless them and their families," Comes at
Night said.

"#FortPeck's #Assiniboine and #Sioux Tribes are distributing buffalo meat, and gathering groceries, after declaring a state of emergency in Montana.

"In California, the #Yurok Tribal Council approved $300 food assistance cards for Yurok because of the disruptions in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program #SNAP, and #CalFresh benefits, due to the federal government shutdown.
'Our goal is to help our most vulnerable citizens get through this challenging time,' said Yurok Chairman Joseph L. James, who said the tribe is working to mitigate the hardships on families from
the federal shutdown.

"In #Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the #CherokeeNation announced a $6.5 million response package. This includes cash payments of up to $185 per individual Cherokee Nation citizens on SNAP. It also includes over $1.25 million to support food banks and other non-profit food programs.

"The Cherokee Nation's expanded emergency declaration includes tribal members who are currently on SNAP living anywhere in the United States. The Cherokee Nation has over 470,000 citizens living in all fifty states. Cherokee Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. said the Cherokee's network of 27 “at-large” organizations located in urban areas could access grants of $5,000 to address local food shortages.

"The #GilaRiverIndianCommunity, south of #Phoenix in #Arizona, is distributing $1,000 hardship payments to all adult tribal members, regardless of whether or not they are SNAP recipients.

"Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis said, 'We want to make sure that, as a sovereign nation, we take care of our members during this unprecedented shutdown.'

" 'I hope that this payment brings some peace of mind during this time of uncertainty at the federal
level.' "

#Blackfeet and #Lakota Prepare to Feed the People During #GovernmentShutdown

By #BrendaNorrell, Censored News, Oct. 25, 2025

"The #BlackfeetNation in #Montana is preparing to feed the people during the government shutdown by distributing buffalo meat and organizing an elk hunt. In #RapidCity, South Dakota, Lakota are
organizing #MutualAid, to feed the people in a region of great need.

"The Blackfeet Tribal Business Council said it has authorized the culling of 18 buffalo from the Blackfeet Nation herd. 'The processed meat will be distributed directly to community members to help
sustain food access during this period of uncertainty.'

"In Rapid City, mutual aid will soon be underway, with a planning session on Oct. 29. '#SNAP looks like it will not be issued in November. Let’s get organized,' said #WotakuyeMutualAidSociety (Meals for Relatives Rapid City COVID Response).

"The Blackfeet Nation said, 'This proactive measure is part of a broader effort by the Council to safeguard essential food distribution programs, particularly as the future of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) remains uncertain.'

" 'While Governor Greg Gianforte’s Office continues working to ensure SNAP benefits remain available to all Montanans, including those in Blackfeet Country, the Council’s decision reflects a commitment to meeting community needs.'

"The Blackfeet Fish and Wildlife Department and the Blackfeet Commodity Office are coordinating an elk harvest to further supplement food distribution efforts. Processed elk meat will also be made available to community members in the coming weeks.

"'With federal restrictions and the shutdown disrupting vital resources, the Blackfeet Nation is turning to its own natural resources and community partnerships to ensure that families continue to have access to food,' the Blackfeet Nation said."

#ApacheStronghold -- Supreme Court Again Declines to Protect Sacred #OakFlat

By Apache Stronghold, via @bsnorrell.blogspot.com, Oct. 6, 2025

Apache Stronghold - Supreme Court update

"This morning, we received word the Supreme Court has decided not to reconsider our case. While this decision is deeply disappointing, the fight to protect Oak Flat is far from over.
We will continue pressing our case in the lower courts. In addition to our case, three other cases are also seeking to protect Oak Flat, and the Ninth Circuit will hear oral argument in those cases on
January 7, 2026. We’ll also keep urging Congress, the President, and federal agencies to stop the destruction of Oak Flat and protect our ancestral sacred land.

Oak Flat deserves the same respect and protection this country has long given to other places of worship.

Wendsler Nosie Sr. responding to the Supreme Court result, 'First, thank you everyone for all the hard work. You have been a blessing to us all in our country. Most importantly deep within us we
knew, but now we definitely witness the truth of this country, by the Supreme Court taking no action. What is evil created the unfairness, not just to us human beings but to all of God’s creations. When this country was founded, humans with the heart of #greed worked to mute the voice of the Creator. By this undertaking, we now live with a third entity, who was created to take and destroy every blessed
gift God gave us through our #MotherEarth. We know this evil as #Corporations, which comes from
#capitalism which #colonizes people. We must defend what is spiritual, holy and God’s greatest gift to us all, our Mother. Today is a new day for me as I now take the blessings from Usen (God), to walk
the footsteps of the purpose I was blessed with and no longer be a captive.'

America has shown us the government’s true intentions, we are unheard and ignored once again. Our judicial system’s voice is muted by capitalism, the ultimate destruction of Mother Earth has been given permission as if they control her, she supplies our lives not the reverse. Such a sad reality.

We call on all people to pray, to raise their voices, and to join us in defending Mother Earth. Thank you for standing with us."

#Flotilla Members Arrive in Turkey, Describe #Israel's Abuse of #GretaThunberg

by #CensoredNews , October 4, 2025

"Sunday morning update:

The Global Sumud Flotilla said 29 more participants were released today, Sunday, and flown to Spain, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The released activists include citizens of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. So far, Greta Thunberg has not been released.

Flotilla members arriving in Turkey yesterday said they drank water from the toilet, women were imprisoned in dog cages, and they were woke up at night by snipers and German Shepherds, with
Israelis screaming, "We're going to shoot you." Their medicines were thrown away, Flotilla participants said in Istanbul upon arrival.

Greta Thunberg was treated the worst, and dragged by hair and abused. She remains in the violent Ktzi'ot prison in the Negev desert in Israel. Nelson Mandela's grandson is also imprisoned.

The first group of 137 from the Global Sumud Flotilla arrived in Turkey yesterday, and were greeted with bouquets of flowers in Instabul, most were Turkish and Malaysian. There were 470 illegally arrested in international waters. Only one U.S. citizen was released. Families Greta Thunberg, who came to Standing Rock in 2019 to support Water Protectors, is shown here
detained by Israel after being abducted in international waters on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla. Swedish officials said she is dehydrated from the lack of water and food in prison. Arriving in Turkey now, Turkish activists describe the brutal abuse of Greta by Israel.

Windfield Beaver of California arrived in Turkey and described Israel's abuse of Greta Thunberg, Reuters reports.

Ayçin Kantoglu said the women were kept in a dog shelter, denied food for three days, forced to drink toilet water, and that Greta was "beaten, had an Israeli flag tied to her back, and was paraded around
the room with her hands tied behind her back."

"The Israelis tormented Greta Thunberg, dragged her on the ground, and made her kiss the Israeli flag," said Turkish journalist and #SumudFlotilla activist Ersin Celik arriving in Turkey now.

"They wanted to make an example."
Greta Thunberg, who came to #StandingRock to support Water Protectors in 2019, was shackled and treated brutally.

Malaysian activist Hajwani Helmi said, “It was unbearable — they treated us like animals,” said Helmi, adding that detainees were denied food, clean water, and medicine throughout their detention.
A 70-year-old Scottish woman, arriving in Turkey with a broken leg, said she was given no food or water in prison, and the guard slammed a metal door on her broken leg.

"That prison was awful," said Margaret Pacetta from Glasgow upon arrival at the airport in Turkey.

Another woman arriving in Turkey said mothers had written the names of their children in blood on the prison walls.

"They locked us in animal cages."
"Walls had writings in blood in Arabic 'drink from the toilet."
"We were starved for 40 hrs."

The fight in D.C. over who, if anyone, has existing authority to regulate small hobby #Drones, took a strange turn. Since they've existed the #FAA has built a bad reputation, with overreach that is notorious in Washington. Throughout the arguing the #USCongress has passed laws clarifying that the F.A.A. never had authority over hobby drones and never will, since they're not interstate passenger aircraft, don't commonly fly high enough to get in the way, and are less dangerous than an average bird. In Congress' eyes #Drone laws are a petty local/state thing. Now someone's called in a bunch of fake threats around a #Chicago airport, and the arguing has started again.

#CreeDene #MskwaasinAgnew Onboard #FreedomFlotilla 'Letter on the Siege on
#Gaza'

#CensoredNews, September 21, 2025

" 'This #WarriorFlag was actually at #StandingRock,' said Mskwaasin Agnew, Cree Dene on the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza today. This flag also flew at the Wet'suwet'en's Gidimt'en Checkpoint. The
women also brought an #AnishinaabeFlag that flew at 1492 Land Back Lane at Six Nations. Remembering the photos of the Warrior flag in #Jabalia in Gaza, she said, 'This is a symbol of Global #IndigenousSolidarity, and Global Indigenous Solidarity means that none of us are free until all of us are free.' Agnew said, 'I have joined the #FreedomFlotillaCoalition to break the siege on Gaza with Dr. #SuzanneShoush and fellow comrades from Turtle Island. Break the siege on Gaza NOW! Solidarity to the global #IndigenousResistance."

#WhiteMesaUte Invite Public to Join #SpiritualWalk to Protest #UraniumMill, Oct. 4, 2025

by #CensoredNews, September 20, 2025

Excerpt: "The rally and spiritual walk is to protect the White Mesa Ute Community’s health, water, air, land, culture, and sacred sites from the nearby #EnergyFuels uranium mill and show community opposition to the mill operating as an international dumping ground for radioactive waste from North America, Japan, and Europe. All relatives and allies welcome.

"The rally on Saturday, October 4, 2025, 11 a.m. MDT will be followed by a spiritual walk to the Energy Fuels uranium mill, about five miles on relatively flat pavement. Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. Limited number of vehicle seats available for elders and those not able to walk the whole way.

"The White Mesa Ute Community Center in White Mesa, Utah, is just south of Blanding, Utah off Highway 191. The community center is on the west side of the highway. Turn west at the gas station
and go one block south.

"The Ute Mountain Ute Community of White Mesa and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe are concerned about #contamination from the nearby #UraniumMill and desecration of sacred sites.

"The uranium mill, owned by Energy Fuels Resources, is also where uranium ore from controversial #UraniumMines, including #PinyonPlain Mine, near the #GrandCanyon, is sent for processing; #NativeAmerican tribes, including the #HavasupaiTribe, strongly oppose that mine. As far away as #Madagascar, #IndigenousPeople strongly oppose Energy Fuels’ operations. The October 4 protest and walk are sponsored by the #WhiteMesaConcernedCommunity and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe."
