Change of pace, today. I want to share this awesome video by Setting Sun Circle in #bellinghamwa #lummination #coastsalish

"Setting Sun Circle is a 17,000 sq. ft. immersive storytelling and cultural experience center in downtown Bellingham. It will be a space where storytelling, innovation, and Indigenous Knowledge meet the urgent challenges of our time."

Here's the link to their promotional video about the future of the space they are renovating, now. It's stunning. https://settingsuncircle.org/setting-sun-circle

#NativeNations Mobilize Against #ICE Targeting and Profiling

#Native Nations across #TurtleIsland are working to ensure their citizens’ safety amid rising reports of #IndigenousPeople being #RaciallyProfiled, #stopped, #questioned, and mistakenly #detained for undocumented #immigrants. They’re also reminding their citizens to find strength and resilience in the histories their communities have already overcome.

"Tribes across the U.S. are responding to reports of Indigenous people being racially profiled, stopped, questioned and mistakenly detained by federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants as part of the Trump administration’s sweeping immigrant crackdown.

Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren said in a Jan. 24 news release that his 'office has received multiple reports from Navajo citizens that they have had negative, and sometimes traumatizing, experiences with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants in the Southwest.'

"'We now know that Navajo people and enrolled members of other tribes are being detained in Phoenix and other cities by #ICE,' Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley said during a Naabik’íyáti’ committee meeting on Jan. 23."

Contact: [email protected]

"Today, August 4, 2024, the Apache Stronghold will be continuing our prayer journey to stop the shattering of human existence and to protect Mother Earth. The prayer journey began in the #LummiNation, north of Seattle, in July, and it will conclude on September 11, 2024 when the Apache Stronghold files their appeal at the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, with stops along the way visiting tribes and supporters for prayer and ceremony. The full route is outlined [at the link below].

"We will be traveling to Thacker Pass, Nevada for a #PrayerGathering on August 6th. This will be our second stop of the journey. After Thacker Pass, we will be traveling to the #BayAreaCalifornia on August 8th for another prayer gathering. Please pay close attention to your emails as we will be updating along the way, as well as our social media @protectoakflat to follow along the journey with us.

"It is a very crucial time right now, so we ask if you cannot join us along the journey please continue to pray for our journey as we make our way across the U.S to the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. We are in this fight together, as we are one drum, one circle, one prayer."

#ApacheStronghold: Prayer Journey to #SupremeCourt

By Apache Stronghold, #CensoredNews July 15, 2024

"The Apache Stronghold started the journey of prayer to the Supreme Court [#SCOTUS] to stop the shattering of human existence and to protect #MotherEarth. We begin our journey with our relatives from the #LummiNation, north of Seattle, Washington.

"We met with the elders of the nations and were given words of encouragement and support. #Adalitza, who leads the elder program for the Lummi Nation, spoke of the importance of this fight, saying it’s crucial to set the precedence for the younger ones because it’s the children who will be living in the world we are creating for them.

"She also spoke to us about continuing to teach our children what native people have lost and opening that with the world. Sharing what #IndigenousPeoples have is beautiful and allows us to understand one another. She thanked Apache Stronghold for protecting Mother Earth.

"Adalitza hopes for our children to know and spiritually connect to #sacred sites.

"In Adalitza’s words, 'We’re doing this to take care of the mind, body, and soul of our people because it’s all timely our Mother Earth is dying and she’s upset, so let’s take care of her and carry those words of protection, protection, protection, let her live, let us live, and that means for all people because #MotherNature keeps us all here.'"
