By John Redhouse, #CensoredNews, May 24, 2024

"On this #MemorialDay weekend, we must also remember and honor the many native #HumanRights warriors such as #LarryCasuse and other brave indigenous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in fighting for the lives and future of red people and nations on #TurtleIsland and throughout the Western Hemisphere—the red quarter of #MotherEarth.

"In the course of our long, hard, and bloody struggle for survival, since 1492, we are here only because our ancestors fought for our right to live and exist as first people and nations in the Americas.

"As an aging but still surviving veteran of the intense bordertown wars in Gallup and Farmington in the 1970s, I will remember always great warriors such as #HerbBlatchford, #RobertNakaidinae, #FredJohnson, #LucyKeeswood, and many, many more courageous fighters of that era including the late great Lorenzo LeValdo and Taft Scott who were also very much a part of the 1974 #Totah #Navajo #CivilRights campaign."
