Oak Flat Proclamation

Posted in News · February 23, 2015 5:35 AM · 1 reaction

Protect Oak Flat Today and Everyday

WHEREAS, the U.S. Congress did pass the Southeastern Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act as part of the national defense budget; and

WHEREAS, this Act takes away Oak Flat, a most holy and spiritual area known to us as Chich'il Bildagoteel and gives it to Resolution Copper, a foreign mining conglomerate;

WHEREAS, today, we are gathered to protect Oak Flat, because we want the world to know that we are here to pray for Oak Flat, and that through the power of our prayers and the strength of our purpose we hope that Congress will realize the error of its ways and repeal the Act;

WHEREAS, today, I call upon everyone and all nations - tribes, natives and indigenous people - to join with us to commence our fight to take back Oak Flat;

Dine Walkers Conclude 225-Mile Trek to Mount Taylor

Posted in News · February 09, 2015 11:50 AM

Submitted by the walkers of Nihígaal Bee Iina

On February 1st 2015, the walkers of Nihígaal Bee Iina (pronounced ni-hi-gahl beh ee-nah, meaning "Our Journey for Existence") completed their quest to walk over 200 miles in the name of their children, land and ancestors. The walk was in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of The Long Walk, whereby over 9,500 Diné (Navajo) were marched at gunpoint for hundreds of miles into Bosque Redondo—a concentration camp they would stay for four years. Only 7,304 survived the internment to return back to Diné Tah, the original Navajo homeland. In addition to honoring the resilience of their ancestors, the walkers also set out to raise awareness about issues surrounding oil and gas extraction in Diné Tah. Ultimately, the group walked the entire span from Dził Naa’oodiłii (Huerfano Mounatin) to Tsoodził (Mount Taylor) in 26 days, a total of 225 miles.

Young Navajos Stage 200 Mile Journey for Existence

Posted in News · January 26, 2015 2:36 PM · 2 reactions

by Lyla Johnston

At dawn on January 6, 2015, a group of young Diné (Navajo) women and their supporters gathered at sunrise near the fire department at the base of Dził Na’oodiłii (Huerfano Mountain). From there the group embarked on a 200-mile trek through eastern New Mexico—a tribute to the 150thanniversary of the tragic “Long Walk.”  Throughout this journey they have been raising awareness about the historical and present day challenges faced by Diné people and inspiring hopeful solutions to address these issues.

Idle No More Communications volunteers have been in contact with some of the walkers and will feature images and reflections from their powerful walk in the next grassroots newsletter.  Keep reading to learn more about the beginning of their journey.

Saskatoon Group talk help for families of Missing and Murdered Aboriginal women

Last night in Saskatoon people brainstormed ideas for helping the families of murdered and missing aboriginal women.

They packed the hall at Station 20 West in the city's core.  About 150 people turned out, both aboriginal and non-aboriginal.

The gathering was organized by social workers and social work students — who formed a social justice committee last summer.

"We thought it was really relevant for us to discuss issues that were pertinent to Saskatoon. So missing and murdered Indigenous women has been a hot topic recently," said Jessica Fisher, the committee's student co-chair.

One of the most dramatic moments came when an impassioned Monica Goulet, one of the panellists, stood to speak.
