No sólo eso: amenaza con transformarse en una confrontación entre el gobierno de Veracruz y la administración de Calderón, y en poco tiempo alcanzará dimensiones internacionales, por las características propias del escandaloso homicidio, teñido de violencia, abuso sexual. La operación de la infamia resulta grotesca. En menos de un mes, Los Pinos logró que la víctima se convierta en cómplice de su propia muerte por “anemia” y males “gastrointestinales” , y los medios de comunicación más oficiosos decidieron no investigar. La CNDH de José Luis Soberanes perdió el poco prestigio que le quedaba al prestarse a un juego de intriga y complicidad palaciega y olvidarse que la comisión fue creada para defender a los ciudadanos más débiles, no las apreciaciones presidenciales. La institución del Ejército reaccionó ante el caso como si se tratara de una acusación que involucrara a todo el alto mando y, en lugar de apoyar una investigación creíble y respetuosa, como al inicio la propia Sedena acreditó, ahora lo pervirtió al tomarlo como si fuera una ofensa institucional. Por si fuera poco, el presidente Felipe Calderón, violando toda la autonomía de los ministerios públicos y de los organismos de derechos humanos, dictó la “línea” que sus voceros debían seguir, arrastrando en la infamia a la directora de Inmujeres, María del Rocío García Gaytán, quien se aventó la infamia de decir que las últimas palabras de Ernestina Ascencio, al ser pronunciadas en náhuatl y moribunda, no tienen el crédito de una denuncia. En declaraciones a la prensa, publicadas el sábado 31 de marzo, García Gaytan justificó así lo dicho por Calderón en La Jornada: “El es el presidente; tiene información privilegiada, tiene que estar enterado, y no es sospechoso de que haya adelantado un dictamen”. Una simple relatoría de los sucesos nos da la idea de cómo una denuncia y un agravio se convirtieron en una persecución contra los familiares y vecinos de Ernestina Ascencio:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.- El 2 de marzo de este año, el Centro de Derechos Humanos Miguel Agustín Pro denunció que Ernestina Ascencio Rosario fue “violada tumultariamente por elementos castrenses, al parecer, pertenecientes al 63 Batallón de Infantería de la 26 zona militar de Lencero, Veracruz, la mañana del domingo 25 de febrero” de este año. El centro acreditó lo que algunos medios locales publicaron: la señora Ernestina fue hallada todavía con vida por sus familiares en la comunidad de Tetlalzingo. Presentaba golpes en diversas partes del cuerpo y tenía “un daño especialmente grave en la cadera”. En testimonio dado a sus familiares, la anciana afirmó: “Los militares se me vinieron encima”. Por su estado crítico de salud, fue trasladada al hospital de Río Blanco, donde falleció el 26 de febrero. El certificado original de su muerte acreditaba que presentaba huellas de tortura y perforación del recto.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.- La procuraduría de Veracruz abrió una investigación en la Agencia Especializada en Delitos Sexuales, en Ciudad Mendoza, bajo los números 140/07 y 471/07. El Centro Pro informó en su comunicado que versiones de los pobladores indicaban que entre cuatro y 11 militares pudieron estar detenidos por los hechos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.- En los días siguientes, los pobladores, encabezados por el alcalde de Soledad Atzompa, Javier Pérez Pascuala, realizaron manifestaciones para exigir castigo a los responsables. Enviaron un comunicado a Los Pinos, reclamándole a Calderón que, en su calidad de jefe supremo de las Fuerzas Armadas, evitara la impunidad y ordenara que “el Ejército salga de nuestro territorio y que no vuelva nunca más”.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.- La CNDH envió visitadores a la zona. Adelantó que investigaría las denuncias realizadas no sólo por los familiares, sino por decenas de organismos de derechos humanos que subrayaron un elemento fundamental: Ernestina Ascencio ha sido una entre otros casos similares, como el de Inés Fernández, indígena tlapaneca, originaria de Guerrero, que en 2002 fue agredida sexualmente por elementos castrenses; Valentina Rosendo Cantú, también indígena tlapaneca, violada y torturada en 2002; Francisca Santos y Victoriana Vázquez, indígenas mixes, de Barrio Nuevo San José, Guerrero, y tres hermanas tzeltales: Ana, Beatriz y Celia González quienes, en 1994, después de haber sido privadas de su libertad, fueron violadas por militares.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.- Sin que existiera pregunta de por medio, Calderón adelantó en una entrevista publicada en La Jornada, tres semanas después de los hechos, que obtuvo información de la CNDH que negaba que la señora Ascencio hubiera sido violada. Su muerte se debió a problemas “gastrointestinales” . Vaya, todo se hubiera resuelto con Pepto Bismol. Días después, a pesar de las contradicciones iniciales, José Luis Soberanes acreditó un informe final de la CNDH, en el que estableció, como si fuera médico legista, que Ascencio murió de “úlceras gástricas” provocadas por una “anemia aguda”. Descartó que hubiera perforación rectal y afirmó que fueron inexistentes los indicios de traumatismo cráneo-encefálico, fractura y luxación de vértebras cervicales.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El operativo mediático fue apabullante. Con la excepción de algunos medios impresos –como La Jornada, Proceso y otros periódicos locales de Veracruz-- más la puntual cobertura de Carmen Aristegui en W Radio, todos los demás medios optaron por reproducir textual las versiones oficiales. Quien se salga de este guión ordenado desde Los Pinos y acatado por Soberanes, se vuelve, automáticamente, en sospechoso de querer dividir y agredir a las Fuerzas Armadas. El panorama no puede ser peor. El gobierno de Veracruz y las autoridades municipales encabezan la protesta contra la CNDH. Las instancias internacionales como la CIDH vendrán a México a realizar sus propias investigaciones. El gobierno federal reacciona como si fuera una orden. En lugar de combatir la impunidad de algunos elementos del Ejército se alienta la impunidad institucional y se envía el mensaje más ominoso de todos: la vida de cualquier mujer, anciana, indígena y pobre, vale menos que la “honorabilidad” de una institución y el maquillaje mediático que siempre se desvanece ante las evidencias de la infamia.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:jenarovi@yahoo.com.mx"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;jenarovi@yahoo.com.mx&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

This includes, any and all Tribal Councils, Bureau of Indian Affairs agencies and agents, and, informers and other such employees, whose job it is to undermine and work to maintain colonial rule and occupation, and exploit the Indigenous People as laborers or exploit their resources.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;TWB stands for unification between all Indigenous entities and Nations protected by our collective alliances, based upon Indigenous knowledge and decisions taken from the ancient instructions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;TWB as an Indigenous organization has the inherent right to stand alone as a group in support of our Indigenous sovereignty within traditional acknowledgment and privilege.

The short audio (at &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/08/10749.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/08/10749.php&lt;/a&gt;) is a greeting of solidarity for the Lakota people in the ancient Chanka language, by Don Jose Baca Raime, an elder of the great Chanka Nation in Peru.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the Lakota People:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a context in which different cultural organizations try to live together, there is a countering, constant and dominant threat expanding throughout the world: the capital organized in corporations and other organisms denies traditional forms of life and damages the structures of the societies that do not share its values and priorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We lament the events the historical Lakota people are undergoing, the cultural damage to our social structures affects all the components of our society and our life, the relationship amongst our people and with our environment. In this sense our affection to those pillars that constitute our tradition, our way of organizing ourselves, including our surroundings and our cultural heritage have been mutilated by the “culture of depredation”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From here, the indigenous peoples of Peru also face hard struggles to regain our rights and also the constant aggression silenced by a structure that is articulated internationally by those in political power, but here we are.  At the Universities, the students organize ourselves to learn to defend the just causes, and as professionals to find and develop more appropriate ways for a different life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please receive from the National Major University of San Marcos, and particularly from “Renacere” (I will revive) Debate and Discussion Workshop this letter of solidarity for the just causes that your organization defends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ask your members to remain strong and go after what you believe, that for being just deserves being sought. The last thing we can do is resign ourselves to reach our objectives. Judging from your history, it is not the first time you do this, and if your ancestors managed to get treaties it was because they fought for them and in much more adverse conditions, without organizations or media to support them. We hope the sort of harmful actions you are facing stop coming your way and that you succeed in the valuable goals you seek for the wellbeing of your people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yuri Tornero&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Renacere" Debate and Discussion Workshop&lt;br /&gt;Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:renacere14@hotmail.com"&gt;renacere14@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:bacamacazana@yahoo.es"&gt;bacamacazana@yahoo.es&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We thank the anthropologist and educator (and daughter of Don Jose) Maria Alicia Baca Macazana for facilitating these contacts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;El mensaje escrito siguiente es de gente joven de origen indigena en la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos en Lima, Peru.

En este sentido, las afecciones a estos pilares que constituyen nuestra tradición, nuestra forma de organizarnos, incluyendo nuestro entorno con el medio ambiente, así como nuestro patrimonio cultural se han visto mutilados por los representantes de la "cultura de la de depredación"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde aquí, los pueblos del Perú también afrontan duras luchas de reivindicación  de derecho; así como constantes agresiones que vienen siendo silenciadas por una estructura internacionalmente articulada del poder político; pero ahí estamos. En la Universidad los estudiantes nos organizamos para aprender a defender las causas justas y demás profesionales para encontrar y desarrollar los caminos más apropiado para una vida distinta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reciba desde la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, y muy particularmente  del Taller de debate y Discusión "Renacere" esta Carta de Solidariad ante las causas Justas que su organización defienden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sus miembros, pedimos fuerzas para perseguir sus convicciones, que al ser justas merecen ser seguidas, lo último que podemos hacer es resignarnos a conseguir nuestros objetivos; por vuestro historial, veo que no es la primera vez y que si, sus antecesores consiguieron Tratados fue porque lucharon para conseguirlo. En condiciones aún mucho más adversas, en que no había organizaciones sociales ni medios de difusión para hacer valer los derechos. Esperamos que dejen de presentarse actos tan dañinos a la identidad cultural y que vuestro pueblo consiga los fines tan valiosos que busca, para el bienestar de sus miembros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atentamente:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yuri Tornero&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taller de debate y Discusión "Renacere"&lt;br /&gt;Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:renacere14@hotmail.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;renacere14@hotmail.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:bacamacazana@yahoo.es"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;bacamacazana@yahoo.es&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agradecemos a la antropologa y educadora (e hija de Don Jose) Maria Alicia Baca Macazana por facilitar estos contactos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

In it, representatives from the Yaqui, Mayo, Comca’ac, Triqui, ñu Saavi, Zapoteco, Wixáritari, Purhépecha, Nahua and Coca Nations address local and national concerns, promising Mexican society to “defend that which belongs to us by any means within our reach, as we have in the last five hundred years”.

También, en una muestra de solidaridad para con sus hermanos y hermanas del Norte, exhortan al Gobierno de Estados Unidos a respetar los tratados firmados con las naciones indígenas y al gobierno del Estado de Dakota del Sur a respetar la montaña sagrada Bear Butte. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The people poured in to protect the station and the mostly women, children and elders that were there in support of the teachers’ strike. Transmission was temporarily interrupted by the attack but they managed to record the events and posted them on indymedia radio. As our small contribution to their struggle, here is a translation (paraphrased to some extent) of that recording, links to the recording itself and articles in Spanish about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INTERRUPTED TRANSMISSION:&lt;br /&gt;Loud thuds, people screaming, phone busy signal, silence...voices trying to re-establish transmission. Transmission comes on, lots of background noise. A male voice: “To the people of Oaxaca: 50 heavily armed paramilitaries with machine guns, and pistols tried to take by force Radio Universidad, the people are congregating here to defend the radio. We are asking the people to come join the resistance, the people, university students the teachers. The attack was carried out by goons of –the Oaxacan Governor- Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. A teacher was on the air when the assault happened. Let’s denounce 3 trucks full of paramilitaries  we’ll stay here until they are stopped, they have AKs, machine guns, military armament, we are telling you the truth because we know other media might not say the truth about what is happening here. They were repelled by the students, teachers and community. We call on all the media to come here to see what is happening.”&lt;br /&gt;The teacher that was on the air when the radio was attacked: “People of Oaxaca, the government of Ulises Ruiz came through with his threat, a few days ago we had denounced that they had been threatening us. Today they attacked to silence us because we are telling the truth, we are carrying the voice of the people. I was on the air when we were interrupted by their attack. If today they were not able to silence us, the radio of the people by the gun they will not be able to do it.  We are asking everybody to concentrate here while still keeping guard on our encampment in the center of the city. If there were teachers, community people, thinking of abandoning the struggle, with this assault Ulises Ruiz has to leave Oaxaca today more than ever. It is him or the people of Oaxaca. We were on the air, we had children and elders who came to accompany us, you don’t know the critical moment we just lived here with these children, women, and elders that were with us. We ask you to gather here to take actions and necessary mobilizations to get rid of Ulises Ruiz.”&lt;br /&gt;A male voice: “We want to reach out to the compañeros nationally, the Coordinadora Nacional de los Trabajadores de la Educacion (the National Teachers’ Organization), in Durango, Puebla, of the sections 9, 10 and 11 of Mexico DF, Jalisco, to tell them that Ulises was not true to his word and once more tried in a stupid way to assault the people of Oaxaca, we repudiate his actions and attitude. We call the Oaxacan people to come and see what the murderous government has tried to implement here (the crowd can be heard chanting). We pass the microphone to the compas that were on the air when the attack happened:&lt;br /&gt;Another male voice: “Three trucks full of paramilitaries, heavily armed, attacked Radio Universidad, our compañera had been on the air for about an hour accompanied by women, children and elders when they were attacked, they were shot at while they were on the air. Where is the Mexican military that allows these paramilitary groups to act with impunity. Jorge Blanco Vargas, Secretary General of Oaxaca, attacks once again with his paramilitary forces. Fox’s government is an accomplice of this assault, once more they tried to massacre us...Transmission interrupted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Link to the actual transmission (radio.indymedia.org has been difficult to reach lately but try later if you can access the link right away, it is worth the extra effort)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/07/10657.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/07/10657.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artículos en español:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://colectivozape.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://colectivozape.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://mexico.indymedia.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=140"&gt;http://mexico.indymedia.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=140&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

This will last until the beginning of August. Here are Debra White Plume's words on this historical day:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28 June 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greetings Mitakuyepi: (my relations)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council, Owe Aku, and the Intertribal Coalition to Defend Bear Butte moves to Mato Paha, our Sacred Mountain. We begin preparations for the July 4 Opening Ceremonies of the Gathering of Nations to&lt;br /&gt;Defend Bear Butte. With sending our voice to the Universe at sunrise, we make our move. We look upon participation in the making of a design of a pivotal moment in our history as Indigenous People and our struggles to protect our ways of life and our Sacred Places. While all of Mother Earth is Sacred, while all of the He Sapa (Black Hills) is Sacred, Bear Butte is the mountain under the most direct threat so we gather there to send our voice to our Creator and our Ancestors and ask them to stand with us, to ask our Sacred Mountain to stand with us, in this effort to protect our destiny as Lakota people and the many other Tribal Nations who hold Bear Butte as Sacred. We go in a humble way, we go as the humble two-legged, to stand with our Relatives of Creation. Why do the developers and their supporters around Bear Butte expect us to willingly give up our destiny? Why do they think they are greater than the destiny of the Lakota Nation? Our identity is interwoven in our Creation Stories with our Sacred Places, this includes our Mato Paha. In many ways, this is our final defense. For if they wipe out our Sacred Places, they wipe out the Lakota Nation. Without our connection and relationship to Mother Earth and our Sacred Places, we cannot be Lakota anymore. We go to a peaceful camp, to gather our relatives from the four directions to make important decisions, together, collectively, about our future and our future generations. We go in a respectful way to our Sacred Mountain to protect Her and to protect our Human Right to pray there, learn there, receive healing there. This pivotal moment in history is a time for Indigenous People and our Allies to come together, to take courage, to stand together to protect our Sacred Places and our destiny. --Debra White Plume&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debra White Plume&lt;br /&gt;Owe Aku, Bring Back the Way&lt;br /&gt;Manderson, SD 57756-0325&lt;br /&gt;605-455-2155 Voice Ph&lt;br /&gt;605-455-1287 Fax Ph&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://by114fd.bay114.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL?curmbox=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;a=850f07968b9e743dea49f7f4d752850912e0e7ec58ae793ce2a6ab9694fdf6f7"&gt;http://by114fd.bay114.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL?curmbox=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;amp;a=850f07968b9e743dea49f7f4d752850912e0e7ec58ae793ce2a6ab9694fdf6f7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.bringbacktheway.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Ayer 28 de Junio el Consejo de Tratados Indios de la Nacion Sioux, Owe Aku y la Coalición Intertribal para Defender Bear Butte estableció campamento en Mato Paha (Bear Butte, la montaña sagrada) en preparación para la ceremonia inaugural del 4 de julio. Este campamento y Cumbre de Naciones se llevara a cabo hasta principios de Agosto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En las palabras de Debra White Plume, de Owe Aku: “Construímos un momento crítico en nuestra historia indígena y en nuestra lucha para proteger nuestras tradiciones y lugares sagrados. Aunque toda la Madre Tierra es sagrada, aunque todas las He Sapa (Black Hills) son sagradas, Mato Paha (Bear Butte) es la más directamente amenazada en este momento. Nos reunimos allí para alzar nuestra voz hacia nuestro Creador y nuestros Ancestros pidiendo que estén con nosotros, pidiendo que nuestra montaña se levante con nosotros en este esfuerzo por proteger nuestro destino como Lakotas y todas las otras nacionalidades para quienes Bear Butte es sagrada. Vamos humildemente a estar con el resto de nuestros parientes de la Creación (los animales, las rocas y las plantas). Por qué esperan los que quieren construir sobre nuestra sagrada tierra que rindamos nuestro destino? Por que piensan que son más importantes que el destino de la Nación Lakota? Nuestra identidad esta entretejida con nuestros lugares sagrados en nuestras historias de la Creación , esto incluye nuestra Mato Paha. De muchas maneras esta es nuestra última defensa, si destruyen nuestros lugares sagrados, destruyen al Pueblo Lakota. Sin nuestra conección y relación con la Madre Tierra no podemos más ser Lakotas. Vamos a este campamento pacífico a reunirnos con nuestros parientes de los cuatro puntos cardinales, para tomar decisiones importantes juntos, colectivamente, sobre nuestro futuro y nuestras generaciones futuras. Vamos con respeto a nuestra montaña sagrada a protegerla y proteger nuestros derechos humanos a rezar allí, a aprender allí y a curarnos allí de acuerdo con nuestras tradiciones. Este es un momento crítico en nuestra historia en el que los Pueblos indígenas debemos unirnos con nuestros aliados, tomar coraje, y levantarnos juntos en defensa de nuestros lugares sagrados y nuestro destino.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debra White Plume&lt;br /&gt;Owe Aku, Bring Back the Way&lt;br /&gt;Manderson, SD 57756-0325&lt;br /&gt;605-455-2155 Voice Ph&lt;br /&gt;605-455-1287 Fax Ph&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://by114fd.bay114.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL?curmbox=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;amp;a=850f07968b9e743dea49f7f4d752850912e0e7ec58ae793ce2a6ab9694fdf6f7"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;lakota1@gwtc.net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;www.bringbacktheway.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

Deb talks about the encampment and Summit of Nations starting July 4th and the building of a collective organized resistance to protect all indigenous sacred places and the indigenous human right to practice our traditional spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Audio:&lt;/strong&gt; Interview in English (49 min 22 sec) translation into Spanish (link at the end of the article, 11 min 48 sec) at &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/10303.php"&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/10303.php&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Deborah White Plume, co-founder of the Intertribal Coalition to defend Bear Butte, talks to TWB’s Wanbli Watakpe from the banks of the Wounded Knee Creek. She describes the plans for a summer encampment and gathering of Nations starting July 4th, 2006. There is over 30 Nations that have a spiritual relation with Bear Butte, among them, the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Northern and Southern Cheyenne Nations, Northern and Southern Arapaho, the Ponca Nation, Osage, and Kiowa. An allied group called the Bear Butte International Alliance has also been formed by tribal people living around the Sturgis area in Meade County, they act as a watchdog organization that keeps track of building permits in Meade County. The Intertribal Coalition has also obtained support from a lot of the IRA tribal governments like the Oglala Sioux Tribe, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the Northern Cheyenne tribe, and the Black Hills Sioux Nations Treaty Council (a Treaty Council comprised of all of the Sioux Tribes) which endorses the Intertribal Coalition and gathering of Nations and will host a summit of nations, all of the Sioux tribes, Arapaho and Cheyenne are involved. The South Dakota Peace and Justice, the Christian Peacemakers team, and the organized churches of South Dakota also support the protection of Bear Butte and the summer encampment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The developments that will desecrate Bear Butte at the moment are two. North of Bear Butte, businessman Jay Allen will develop 600 acres to build what he calls the Sturgis County line campground, which includes 155,000 sq ft asphalt parking lot, and a 20,000 sq ft bar w/ amphitheater that will seat 30,000 +. He paid 500,000 dollars for the liquor license, which was approved by the Meade Co commission without discussion in spite of a large rally against it where many indigenous Nations spoke in opposition. A few miles south of Bear Butte the Glencoe campground is being enlarged to fit 40,000 people. Tribes are appealing but it is a difficult battle because South Dakota has no zoning laws. Recently the Cheyenne Nation purchased about 120 acres of land near Bear Butte and hung their flag, in response the developers hung very large US flags from their equipment, but they haven’t been able to do much work because of the bad weather Mother Earth brings on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deb explains, “We are the Ocete Sakowin, The 7 Council Fires, during the war with the US, with the 7th cavalry we fought them to a stand still and closed the Bozeman trail. This brought the1851 Fort Laramie Treaty and 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty where the boundaries for our territory include 5 states and the Black Hills of South Dakota that have several sacred places. Bear Butte has been sacred for thousands of years to us and other tribes. We use these sacred places to live our way, for medicine, teaching, spiritual healing and praying. They’re our school, our church, our hospital, those places are protected in American society, we want the same respect. This is why we are having this summer encampment to protect the integrity of our sacred places and create an organized resistance to the desecration, going on all over the US: the snowball activity in the San Francisco Peaks in the Southwest, the petroglyph issue around Albuquerque, and many others. We want to form an intertribal collective to protect our sacred places. We are in contact with the Six Nations people defending their land, we are all fighting to defend our land, fighting separate battles that is why we want to bring all Nations together to coordinate a collective organized resistance.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Our way of life is strongly matriarchal. Men hold the leadership positions but it is the women that guide them, we are doing the administrative/paper work and are meeting to talk about the different direct actions we can take because we know we are not gonna win this in the courts, city hall, or state capitol. There is a lot of money involved in the sale of alcohol and these developments. We are in touch with some women’s biker groups that are working with us to defend Bear Butte and will not ride to Sturgis, this will have an impact on the bars out there. The Treaty Council and warriors’ societies, and all segments of our population are participating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lakota Nation infrastructure is traditionally built on the Tiospaye (relatives living together/extended family). Each Tiospaye has their Itancan and Nacas (leader and advisors), healers, matriarchs, men’s and women’s societies. Our Tiospaye helped found our coalition and pulled all the Tiospaye leaders together to make a collective stand with the leaders of the Treaty Council comprising the nine Sioux bands and the other nations with a unanimous participation to form the Summit of Indigenous Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are organizing around the defense of human rights, (in part through the UN in NY and Geneva) our human right to pray, and this includes indigenous people around the world. For education and outreach, we are making (through the Lakota Media Project) two documentaries one on the indigenous peoples’ human right to pray and one on Bear Butte. We invite all our allies from the South to be at our summit to create this collective resistance. We are in touch with indigenous people from the South and we hope to enter into a treaty of peace and friendship with them during our Summit of Nations. Owe Aku (Bring Back the Way) will work to register these treaties at the UN. Our traditional way of life pre-dates Columbus. We were able to live and thrive on our way of life. The UN is set up for the colonizers of the world and serves to protect their interests, it does not accommodate our traditional structure, but we are slowly changing it, and can still use it to link up with other indigenous peoples. In our Summit of Nations we will talk about the kinds of direct action we will be taken, what will this organized resistance look like, what it will be, its goals, and its methods. If we don’t do this we will just continue as small isolated pockets of resistance and will not be effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have talked about the possible military response from the US to our organizing our Summit. During the Sturgis bike rally they have 10 million people come to this region. The crime rate goes up. There aren’t enough port-a-potties and they literally have urine running in the ditches. They rather have that than Indians praying at Bear Butte. Our elders tell us that our strongest weapon is the love for your way of life and our prayers. When we have our Summit of Nations the Oglala Lakota will be lead by the pipe of Chief Red Cloud that his family has had since the Wounded Knee massacre, the people are coming with their spiritual power. We pray for guidance and direction. This is our last defense. If they wipe out our sacred places, they wipe out our way of life. We will not be Lakota anymore. I talked to our youth in gangs and asked them to put down their gang colors and be Lakota for one day and they did, they marched with us for Bear Butte and put that gang identity aside. We were real comforted by that gesture, that our young people could put that away and stand up as Lakotas because without these places we lose our identity. The churches were sent in to christianize our ancestors away from their identity so it is good that they now organize in support of our traditional ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re inviting people of all colors and walks of life. Some environmental groups and religious groups will form a buffer zone around us as allies, and they are respectful of our ceremonies that are for indigenous people only. We are expecting many people and we need resources to accommodate them. The tribes are donating whatever they can, one tribe is giving us 10 buffalo, another one 20 elk. Please bring everything you will need and something to share. If you are able to make a donation you can do it through our websites, where you can also find directions to the campgrounds and contact information. &lt;a href="http://www.bringbacktheway.com/"&gt;http://www.bringbacktheway.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.defendbearbutte.org/"&gt;http://www.defendbearbutte.org/&lt;/a&gt; “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contacts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Carter Camp(605) 867-1941&lt;a href="mailto:867-1941cartercamp@yahoo.com"&gt;mailto:867-1941cartercamp@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vic Camp(605) 867-1941&lt;a href="mailto:867-1941victoriocamp1@yahoo.com"&gt;mailto:867-1941victoriocamp1@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debra White Plume(605) 455-2155&lt;a href="mailto:lakota1@gwtc.net"&gt;lakota1@gwtc.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta es nuestra ultima defensa, si destruyen nuestros lugares sagrados ya no seremos mas Lakota&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plantón/campamento y Cumbre de Naciones Indígenas para salvar Bear Butte comienza el 4 de Julio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resumen:&lt;/strong&gt; Entrevista con Deborah White Plume, co-fundadora de la Coalición Intertribal para defenderBear Butte.

Esta coalición hara un plantón y Cumbre de Naciones Indígenas empezando el 4 de Julio en defensa de Bear Butte. Bear Butte es parte de las Colinas Negras o Black Hills y es un lugar sagrado para aproximadamente treinta tribus, entre ellas las Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Cheyenne del Norte y Sur, Arapaho del Norte y Sur, la Nación Ponca, Osage, y Kiowa. Otra coalición aliada es la Alianza Internacional de Bear Butte compuesta mayormente de indígenas que viven en la zona de Sturgis, Dakota del Sur y que vigila si hay nuevas solicitudes para construcciones cerca de Bear Butte. La coalición tambien a conseguido el apoyo de gobiernos tribales no-tradicionales como los gobiernos de las tribus Oglala Sioux, Standing Rock Sioux, Cheyenne del Norte, y el Consejo de Tratados de las Naciones Sioux de las Black Hills (un consejo que abarca todas las Naciones Sioux) y que sera anfitrión de la Cumbre de Naciones. Otras organizaciones no indígenas que están apoyando son South Dakota Paz y Justicia, los Christian Peacemakers y las iglesias de Dakota del Sur, además de varios grupos para la justicia ecológica. Estas últimas formarán una zona de protección alrededor del plantón indígena y respetarán las ceremonias indígenas que se llevarán a cabo por lo que no se involucrarán en ellas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las construcciones que han comenzado y desecran Bear Butte son: una al norte de Bear Butte donde el empresario Jay Allen va a construir sobre 600 acres el campamento/bar/auditorio de lo que él llama el Sturgis County Line Campground con un estacionamiento de asfalto de 155,000 pies cuadrados, un bar que ocupara 20,000 pies cuadrados con un anfiteatro para más de 30,000 personas. Jay Allen pago medio millión de dólares por la licencia para vender alcohol que se le fue otorgada sin discusión a pesar de pronunciamientos en su contra de varias de las naciones indígenas afectadas. Unas millas al sur de Bear Butte se esta agrandando otro campamento para hacer cupo para 40,000 personas. Las naciones indígenas estan apelando el otorgamiento de licencias para vender alcohol y para construir pero esto es muy difícil ya que en Dakota del Sur no hay leyes de zonas para proteger lugares especiales. La nación Cheyenne compró 120 acres cerca de Bear Butte donde alzó su bandera, pronto las empresas de construcción pusieron gigantescas banderas americanas en sus máquinas. Afortunadamente la madre tierra no ha permitido mucha construcción por mal tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deb explica: “Somos Ocete Sakowin, el pueblo del Consejo de los 7 Fuegos. Durante nuestra guerra militar con USA luchamos contra ellos cuando trataban de atravesar nuestro territorio para llegar a California y llegamos a pararlos totalmente y cerrar la ruta de Bozeman. Por eso tuvieron que firmar dos tratados el de Fort Laramie de 1851 y el de 1868, en ambos se disponía que nuestro territorio abarcaba 5 estados y las Black Hills que contienen Bear Butte entre otros lugares sagrados. Bear Butte ha sido un lugar especial para nosotros y otras naciones indígenas por miles de años. Usamos estos lugares para vivir nuestras tradiciones, allí nos curamos, de allí sacamos nuestras medicinas, allí aprendemos y allí rezamos. Estos lugares son nuestra escuela, nuestro hospital y nuestra iglesia, los americanos protegen estos lugares en sus comunidades, queremos el mismo respeto. Por eso tendremos el plantón y Cumbre de Naciones Indígenas este verano, para proteger la integridad de estos lugares que estan siendo atacados en todo USA (está también el caso de Snowball en los picos de San Francisco en el Sudoeste, los petroglifos cerca de Albuquerque, Nuevo Mexico). Estamos en contacto con las Seis Naciones defendiendo su territorio en este momento. Queremos formar una coalición intertribal para dejar de luchar contra estas incursiones aisladamente y lograr una resistencia organizada para proteger nuestros lugares sagrados.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Los Lakota somos tradicionalmente una sociedad matriarcal. Los hombres llevan las posiciones de autoridad pero somos las mujeres quienes los guiamos. En nuestro grupo toda nuestra sociedad tradicional participa, pero somos nosotras quienes hacemos todo el trabajo administrativo y nos hemos reunido para hablar de las diferentes acciones que estamos dispuestas a tomar ya que sabemos que no vamos a ganar esto en las cortes, comisiones o municipalidades. Hay mucho dinero detrás de las licencias para vender alcohol y construcción de estos bares/campamentos. También estamos en contacto con grupos de mujeres motociclistas que nos apoyan y no irán al rally gigante de motocicletas en Sturgis, en las Black Hills de Dakota del Sur, este verano para impactar el comercio allí.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“La infraestructura tradicional de la Nación Lakota se basa en el Tiospaye (familia extendida). Cada familia tiene su Itanca (líder), sus Nacas (consejeros), sus personas que curan, matriarcas y sociedades para hombres y para mujeres. Nuestro Tiospaye ayudó a fundar la Coalición Intertribal para Defender Bear Butte, y para eso unimos a todos los líderes de los Tiospaye de las 9 Bandas Sioux y obtuvimos la participación de otras naciones indígenas para formar una Cumbre de Naciones.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Nos estamos organizando alrededor del tema de la defensa de los derechos humanos (a través de la ONU en Nueva York y Ginebra) la defensa de nuestro derecho a rezar, a practicar nuestra religión y esto incluye a todos los pueblos indígenas del mundo. Estamos haciendo 2 documentales a traves del Proyecto Lakota de Media, uno sobre el derecho de los pueblos indígenas a practicar nuestra espiritualidad y el otro exclusivamente sobre Bear Butte. Invitamos a nuestro parientes y aliados del sur a que esten en nuestra cumbre para crear esta resistencia colectiva. Estamos en contacto con gente del sur y esperamos que se adhieran a nosotros en un tratado de paz y amistad durante la Cumbre de Naciones Indígenas y nuestra organización de jóvenes Owe Aku (Traigamos de Vuelta el Camino) lo registrará en la ONU. Nuestra forma tradicional de vivir existía mucho antes de Colón y entonces vivimos bien siguiéndola. La ONU esta hecha para proteger los intereses de los colonizadores y no para acomodar nuestra estructura y tradiciones pero la estamos cambiando de a poco y la usamos para conectarnos con otros pueblos. Durante nuestra cumbre hablaremos de las posibles estrategias de acción directa que tomaremos, cómo sera nuestra resistencia organizada, sus objetivos y métodos. Si no hacemos esto continuaremos luchando aisladamente y sin mucha efectividad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hemos considerado una respuesta armada por parte de USA a nuestra organización y cumbre. Lo que sabemos es que durante el rally de motocicletas en Sturgis, Dakota del Sur, vienen 10 millones de personas, el índice de violencia y criminalidad sube dramáticamente, no tienen suficientes servicios para todos y hay orina corriendo por las calles, pero prefieren tener eso a indios rezando en Bear Butte. Una de nuestras ancianas matriarcas dijo que nuestra arma más poderosa es el amor que tenemos por nuestra forma de vida tradicional y nuestras plegarias. Cuando tengamos nuestra Cumbre de Naciones, la Nación Lakota entrará detrás de la pipa sagrada del jefe Oliver Red Cloud, que ha estado en su familia por cientos de años, desde la masacre de Wounded Knee, el pueblo viene con su poder espiritual. Rezamos por guía y dirección, esta es nuestra última defensa, si destruyen nuestros lugares sagrados, destruyen nuestra forma de vida tradicional, ya no seremos más Lakota. Hace poco hablé con nuestra juventud metida en pandillas y les pedí que por un día dejaran sus colores pandilleros y se levantaran con nosotros como Lakotas porque sin nuestros lugares sagrados perderemos nuestra identidad, y ellos lo hicieron, esto confortó mucho a todos. Las iglesias cristianas fueron mandadas por el gobiernos de USA a cristianizar a nuestros ancestros para que pierdan su identidad y por eso ahora es bueno que se organizen en defensa de nuestras tradiciones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estamos invitando a gente de todas las razas, credos y ocupaciones. Traigan todo lo que necesiten y algo para compartir. Necesitamos donativos para acomodar a todos los que vengan a nuestro plantón y cumbre, las naciones indígenas estan contribuyendo con lo que pueden, una donó 10 búfalos, otra 20 venados, cada uno trae lo que puede. Si pueden contribuir algo se puede hacer a través de nuestros websites &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bringbacktheway.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;www.bringbacktheway.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.defendbearbutte.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;www.defendbearbutte.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt; Allí también encontrarán información sobre cómo llegar o cómo contactarnos si es necesario.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contactos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carter Camp&lt;br /&gt;(605) 867-1941&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:cartercamp@yahoo.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;cartercamp@yahoo.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vic Camp&lt;br /&gt;(605) 867-1941&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:victoriocamp1@yahoo.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;victoriocamp1@yahoo.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debra White Plume&lt;br /&gt;(605) 455-2155&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:lakota1@gwtc.net"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;lakota1@gwtc.net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

Even though the numbers differ we have received word that among the many atrocities are at least 2 dead children and possibly up to 9 teachers who were killed, many were wounded and dozens arrested (some taken in unmarked cars to unknown places = disappeared). The free radio (Radio Planton) there was key announcing when the government forces were rolling in and the police broke in and destroyed the equipment. Many teachers have returned to the place where they have been demonstrating and the police is regrouping. Subcomandante Marcos is URGENTLY asking all the Zapatista supporters to condemn this new act of repression by the State in statements and actions. The message below (in Spanish) has a detailed account of what happened. Here are the e-mail addresses of the gov officials that should be contacted in protest:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor of the State of Oaxaca.: &lt;a href="mailto:gobernador@oaxaca.gob.mx"&gt;gobernador@oaxaca.gob.mx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Jorge Franco Vargas: Secretary of Government of the State of Oaxaca: Tel.

This is an interview of Thahoketoteh of the Bear Clan, Mohawk Nation of Grand River, who is a member of the Mohawk Nation News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thahoketoteh shares his thoughts, and reviews the history and updates of the conflict over the Canadian Government encroachment into Six Nations territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since this interview was carried out several significant things have happened. Prime Minister Harper allegedly said something to the effect that either the protesters will kill the indigenous people in Caledonia or the indigenous people will kill the protesters, the Caledonia mayor has been asking for the army to be brought in, two altercations occurred on June 9th, 2006, within Six Nations territory: one orchestrated to capture Native people on camera while reacting to racist attacks, and another when Native security caught a US Border Patrol vehicle – way out of its jurisdiction- that was taking pictures of everything and everybody, the vehicle was confiscated and investigated. Evidence of collaboration between OPP, US Border Patrol and US-ATF was recovered as well as the names of all OPP officers and U.S. agents who have been involved in the Six Nations conflict, their home phone numbers, and many details of their surveillance operations.  Also seen was information from confidential informants dating back to the beginning of the standoff. The intelligence officer's log includes details of an OPP operation post being set up in the Hamilton area, a list of checks into the background of natives and Caledonia residents, information from the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) that "white supremacist skinheads" were being brought into Caledonia as paid provocateurs. Canadian authorities want to bring charges against the indigenous warriors that carried out their security duty during these incidents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, as stated in a June 13th, 2006 statement by Chief Terrance Nelson of the Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation: “As Premier Dalton McGuinty and Minister of Indian Affairs Jim Prentice pull out of the Six Nations/Caledonia land claim with ultimatums that the “barricades must come down,” First Nations across Canada are issuing their own ultimatums. Last week, 100 Ontario Chiefs walked to the site of the land claim dispute and issued their own warning to Canada. Today Union of British Columbia Chiefs issued full support to Six Nations. In Manitoba, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, representing 64 First Nations, passed a resolution supporting a 24-hour railway blockade set for June 29th 2006, “to force the Canadian government to establish a reasonable time-frame for settlement of land claims.” Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation will block two railway lines going into the United States. At least six other Manitoba First Nations have vowed to block railway lines at the same time.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To listen to this interview go to &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/10199.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/10199.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information go to &lt;a href="javascript:ol("&gt;http://intercontinentalcry.mahost.org/unitytalk/p209-Today.html#p209&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or contact: Thahoketoteh at  &lt;a href="mailto:thahoketoteh@mohawknationnews.com"&gt;thahoketoteh@mohawknationnews.com&lt;/a&gt;, Hazel Hill at &lt;a href="mailto:thebasketcase@on.aibn.com"&gt;thebasketcase@on.aibn.com&lt;/a&gt; ; or Jacqueline House at &lt;a href="mailto:Jacqueline_house@hotmail.com"&gt;Jacqueline_house@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;SI NO FUERA POR EL INTERNET ESTARIAMOS TODOS MUERTOS: El conflicto sobre tierra indigena en Canada en punto critico&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entrevista Radial para la Brigada Tashunka Witko (Ingles-Español 32 min 35 sec)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En esta entrevista, Thahoketoteh, del Clan del Oso de la Nacion Mohawk habla sobe el conflicto que empezo hace aproximadamente tres meses. El gobierno provincial de Ontario vendio territorio Mohawk a una empresa de Estados Unidos. El pueblo Mohawk esta ocupando su tierra para prevenir su invasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde que se llevo a cabo esta entrevista varios hechos importantes han ocurrido. El Primer Ministro de canada supuestamente expreso que en este conflicto “o los que protestan en Caledonia mataran a los indigenas o los indigenas mataran a los residentes que protestan contra ellos”. La intendente de Caledonia sigue pidiendo que se mande al ejercito para sacar a los indigenas. Hubo 2 altercados el 9 de junio, uno armado para filmar a indigenas cuando reaccionaban a ataques racistas y otro en el que las fuerzas de seguridad de las 6 naciones confiscaron un vehiculo de la patrulla fronteriza de Estados Unidos – bien lejos de su jurisdiccion – donde encontraron documentos que evidencian la colaboracion entre esta agencia, la agencia estadounidense de tabaco y armas de fuego y la policia provincial de ontario, los nombres, direcciones y numeros de telefono de los agentes canadienses y estadounidenses envueltos en el caso, informacion confidencial de informantes desde el principio del conflicto, detalles sobre una base de operaciones que estan estableciendo en el area de Hamilton, lista de personas de las seis naciones y de caledonia que estan siendo investigadas, informacion sobre blancos supremacistas skinheads habrian sido traidos y pagados para actuar como provocateurs. El gobierno de Canada quiere arrestar y enjuiciar a los guerreros que cumplieron su deber durante estos incidentes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Por ultimo, ante la declaracion del Premier de Ontario que estaba perdiendo la paciencia con los Indios de las Seis Naciones, Terrance Nelson, Jefe de Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation, declara que el ultimatum del Premier Dalton McGuinty y del Ministro de Asuntos Indios Jim Prentice que saquen las barricadas al abandonar ellos las negociaciones, es respondido con ultimatums por parte de muchas de las primeras naciones de Canada. La semana pasada 100 jefes de diferentes tribus de Canada advirtieron al gobierno que si no resolvian este conflicto de buena manera iba a haber tomas de tierra indigena por todo Canada, hoy la Union de Jefes Tribales de British Columbia, en Manitoba la Asamblea de Jefes Tribales de Manitoba, que representa 64 tribus, paso una resolucion apoyando un bloqueo ferroviario planeado para el 29 de Junio “para forzar al gobierno Canadiense a resolver estos conflictos de tierra en un tiempo razonable “. La Nacion Roseau River Anishinabe va a bloquear dos rutas ferroviarias que conectan con Estados Unidos, por lo menos 6 otras tribus de Manitoba se comprometieron a bloquear otras rutas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para escuchar esta entrevista haz click aqui &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/10199.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/10199.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mas informacion visita &lt;a href="javascript:ol("&gt;http://intercontinentalcry.mahost.org/unitytalk/p209-Today.html#p209&lt;/a&gt;O contacta:  Thahoketoteh en &lt;a href="mailto:thahoketoteh@mohawknationnews.com"&gt;thahoketoteh@mohawknationnews.com&lt;/a&gt;, Hazel Hill en  &lt;a href="mailto:thebasketcase@on.aibn.com"&gt;thebasketcase@on.aibn.com&lt;/a&gt; ; o Jacqueline House &lt;a href="mailto:Jacqueline_house@hotmail.com"&gt;Jacqueline_house@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

The OPP launched a raid around 4:30 a.m. EDT this morning to force out Six Nations Clan Mothers, their families, and supporters from continuing to watch over their land to prevent illegal construction by Henco Industries Limited, a US firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police descended on approximately 200 peaceful, unarmed defenders of the land with several large rental vans, their guns drawn, and armed with tear gas and Tasers. Women were roughed up, elders shoved and handcuffed. Nonetheless the people refused to leave and supporters poured in. The women lead a march that forced the police to retreat until they were outside Mohawk land and in the city of Caledonia. Then they erected barricades that kept police vehicles out of their territory. They are asking for continued support and international mediation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The land that Six Nations people and supporters are being forced to protect from illegal encroachment is on part of the Haldimand tract that was deeded to the Six Nations in 1784 and was never transferred to third parties. Canada has no legal right to dispose of it. The Women Title Holders (Rotinshon’non:we) demand the cessation of the use of force and that Canada act in an honorable way by treating this issue as a Nation to Nation conflict to be resolved in the traditional Rotinshon’non:we process as set out in the Kaianereh’ko:wa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To listen to this interview go to &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/04/9427.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/04/9427.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information go to &lt;a href="http://intercontinentalcry.mahost.org/unitytalk/p209-Today.html#p209"&gt;http://intercontinentalcry.mahost.org/unitytalk/p209-Today.html#p209&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Or contact: Dick Hill 519-865-7722, 519-445-1351; Hazel 519-717-4292, 519-445-0719; Jacqueline House 905-765-9316;&lt;br /&gt;thebasketcase@on.aibn.com; &lt;a href="mailto:Jacqueline_house@hotmail.com"&gt;Jacqueline_house@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Send or phone messages to stop this attack on the Six Nations people: Premier of Ontario, PHONE: (416) 325-1941, FAX: (416) 325-3745, email: &lt;a href="mailto:dalton.mcguinty@premier.gov.on.ca"&gt;mailto:dalton.mcguinty@premier.gov.on.ca&lt;/a&gt; (cc&lt;/a&gt;: mkwinter.mpp@liberal.ola.org&lt;/a&gt;)ONTARIO RCMP, Headquarters, 130 Dufferin Ave, PO Box 3240 Station B, London, ON N6A 4K3, Telephone: 519-640-7267&lt;br /&gt;Hamilton/Niagara Reg Det, STN Main BOX 487,Hamilton L8N 3H8 (905)572-2401&lt;br /&gt;Kingston Det 1000 Gardiners RD 3RD FLR Kingston K7P 3C4, (613)384-7201&lt;br /&gt;Kitchener Det 17 Executive Place Kitchener N2P 2V3, (519) 896-3542&lt;br /&gt;London Det 451 Talbot ST 8TH FLR London N6A 5C9, (519) 645-4329&lt;br /&gt;Sault Ste Marie Det 22 Bay ST Sault Ste Marie P6A 5S2, (705) 941-7267&lt;br /&gt;Sudbury Det 1310 Sparks ST Sudbury P3A 2C8, (705) 671-0645&lt;br /&gt;Thunder Bay Det 21 Archibald ST N Thunder Bay, P7C 3Y3, (807)623-2791&lt;br /&gt;Toronto East Det 415 Baseline RD W BOX 1500 Bowmanville L1C 4V7, (905)697-6000&lt;br /&gt;Toronto West Det 2755 Highpoint Drive Milton L9T 5E8, (905) 876-9500&lt;br /&gt;Toronto Lester B Pearson Airport Det 255 Atwell DR Etobicoke M9W 7G2, (905) 405-3750&lt;br /&gt;Toronto North Det 345 Harry Walker PKY S Â Â Newmarket L3Y 8P6 (905) 953-7267&lt;br /&gt;Windsor Det 6080 Riverside DR E Windsor N8S 1B6 (519) 948-5287&lt;br /&gt;Henco Industries Ltd., 128 Highland Blvd. Caledonia Ontario.

La OPP llevo a cabo un asalto a las 4:30 de la madrugada esta mañana para forzar a las matriarcas (quienes en esta Nacion lleavan el titulo de las tierras) y aliados a abandonar sus tierras. Ellas se ven obligadas a proteger las tierras para prevenir su uso ilegal por Henco Industries Limited, una firma estadounidense. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;La policia, armas en mano, ataco el pacifico grupo de aproximadamente 200 personas desarmadas con gases lacrimogenos y Tasers (armas de descarga electrica). Mujeres y ancianos fueron tratados brutalmente sin provocacion alguna. Aun asi la gente se rehuso a irse y mas se les unieron en solidaridad. Las mujeres encabezaron una marcha que obligo a la policia a retorceder hasta que se vieron fuera de tierra Mohawk y dentro de la ciudad de Caledonia. Luego erigieron barricadas que impidieron la entrada a mas vehiculos policiales.

She has been disenrolled, (resulting in her loss of employment, health insurance, educational allowances, quarterly stipends and all other Oneida Nation services), kidnapped, imprisoned, her home demolished (she lost all her belongings due to this), and her children taken away, for standing up for her community. She tells the Tashunka Witko Brigade a first hand account of what is happening in her Nation under siege.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the last 14 years the Oneidas have been enduring a federally imposed dictatorship put in place to facilitate a secret gaming compact set up by former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), and the Oneida traitor and federally appointed puppet for life Arthur Raymond Halbritter. Halbritter has disregarded all traditional Oneida laws/government, signed a tax agreement with the US government, established a non-native paramilitary force, closed down the long house (place of worship and formal community gatherings), disenrolled and punished traditional Oneida people who have dared to stand up to his abuses. The Oneidas have the largest lands claim case in the United States, their lands are very rich in resources and the US government wants to relocate them again. Halbritter has started to use the Oneida’s land claim as a gambling chip for more gaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To listen to this interview click on (or copy and paste on your browser’s window) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/04/9310.php"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/04/9310.php&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In spite of all her losses (she regained her children but remains homeless), Danielle continues her work for her people and all indigenous peoples. She stands up for native populations rights to land, water, wellness in youth, traditional practice and language, native education, indigenous seed/plant preservation, native arts, and native medicine. She will be presenting the Oneida case at the United Nations Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues in May and would appreciate sponsors. She does not receive any monies from government, corporate or tribal entities, but uses the earnings from selling her beadwork or speaking engagements. Oneidas for Democracy could use financial assistance for legal and travel costs (money orders only please).

It is violent, it represents violence in its ugliest form. It is a separation, an isolation, a canonization of a racist policy…Not only does it run down to the ocean but it will extend 500 feet out into the water so that even the dolphin people cannot get back and forth as they cruise up and down the beach… There are 24-7 helicopters in the air doing surveillance. The wall runs down to the beach and along the highway on the Tijuana side. There is actually 3 walls… In between the third and first wall there’s a couple of miles of “buffer” space considered “no man’s land” and that’s where the patrols are, where the colonial military and border agents sit… it is a DMZ, not a border… we do not have a border there, we have a DMZ with military sensors, military machinery and implements, a war zone…” We open this essay with a prayer in Mayo language by our compa Raul Buitimea and music by Quetzalcoatl, the closing song is “Maldicion de Malinche” by Amparo Ochoa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To listen to this program go to &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8564.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8564.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;La Brigada Tashunka Witko transmitiendo desde territorio rebelde indigena bajo sitio en Mexico&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ensayo radial en ingles con traduccion al español (duracion total: 31 minutos 45 segundos)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Descripcion:&lt;/strong&gt; Comentario de Wanbli Watakpe, guerrero Lakota y co-presentador de la Brigada Tashunka Witko, sobre el muro que divide los territorios colonialmente denominados Mexico y Estados Unidos. “Como indigena, pertenezco en los dos lados de este muro, esta frontera marcada por los imperios coloniales”, proclama Wanbli Watakpe y agrega “…Este muro es como una ereccion forzada en la madre tierra, algo no natural, una violacion, es violento, representa la violencia en su forma mas aborrecible, es una separacion, aislamiento, y la canonizacion de una politica racista… Y no solo llega hasta el mar sino que se va a extender 500 pies dentro del mar y hasta los delfines van a tener que lidiar con este obstaculo. Hay helicopteros patrullando las 24 horas del dia todos los dias. El muro va desde la playa a lo largo de la ruta al lado de Tijuana, y en realidad hay 3 muros…Entre estos muros se encuentra “la tierra de nadie” donde el ejercito colonial y agentes fronterizos patrullan. Esto no es una frontera, es una zona militarizada, con sensores, maquinaria, e implementos militares, un territorio en guerra.” Abrimos este ensayo con una bendicion en idioma Mayo por el compañero Raul Buitimea y musica de Quetzalcoatl. La cancion del final es “Maldicion de Malinche” por Amparo Ochoa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para escuchar este programa ve a &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8564.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8564.php&lt;/a&gt;_&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

This run is part of the efforts to fulfill the prophecy of the condor and the eagle to unite all indigenous peoples.Featuring: Interview of “Greñas” Raul Buitimea by DJ Tanya, Tashunka Witko Brigade.“Greñas” Raul Buitimea, of the Mayo Nation, is one of the coordinators of the Ceremonial Run for Indigenous Dignity in Baja California, Mexico. In this interview he invites all indigenous people from North and South to participate in this run and tells us details about the run, its history and objectives. This run is part of the efforts to fulfill the prophecy of the condor and the eagle and unite all indigenous nations. It will open with traditional nahua ceremonies on February 24th, in honor of the birth and death day of Cuauhtemoc, the great Aztec warrior. The run itself leaves from Tijuana on February 26th, passes through 17 indigenous communities, several traditional ceremonial centers, and will last 2 weeks. Many of the indigenous communities in what today is known as Baja California are extremely isolated and marginalized, and some are at the brink of completely losing their language and integrity as nations. Some of the objectives of this run are to find out, record and make public the conditions in which these communities live and any demands they may have. The group will travel with a radio that will be installed in the communities ahead of the runners, this radio will transmit indigenous programming including: reports on the struggle of other indigenous peoples throughout the continent, ceremonies, stories, literature, medicine, and history of indigenous peoples, as well as environmental, children’s and women’s rights programs. This interview ends with Greñas’ account of his people’s history and current situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To listen to this program go to &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8392.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8392.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some specific areas of the run in need of support:&lt;br /&gt;• Promotion of event.&lt;br /&gt;• Sound system for the February 25th event.&lt;br /&gt;• Food for the people attending the February 25th event.&lt;br /&gt;• Transportation for runners and dancers from Sonora to Tijuana.&lt;br /&gt;• Cars and gas to transport medicine, blankets, backpacks for the run.&lt;br /&gt;• Radio transmission equipment and walky-talkies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information visit &lt;a href="http://carreraindigena.blogspot.com,/"&gt;http://carreraindigena.blogspot.com,/&lt;/a&gt; write to &lt;a href="mailto:ojbo@riseup.com"&gt;ojbo@riseup.com&lt;/a&gt; (Español), &lt;a href="mailto:flaqise@hotmail.com"&gt;flaqise@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt; (English), or call 011-52-664-622-4269 (from the US), 664-622-4269 (within Mexico) to leave a message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resumen:&lt;/strong&gt; Este programa de radio de la Brigada Tashunka Witko esta en ingles y español.

La carrera empieza el 26 de Febrero, pasa por 17 comunidades indigenas, varios centros ceremoniales, y dura 2 semanas. Muchas de las comunidades indigenas de lo que hoy se conoce como Baja California, estan muy aisladas y marginalizadas, y algunas corren el riesgo de perder su idioma e integridad, y desaparecer como pueblos. Algunos objetivos de esta carrera son: aprender, tomar nota y hacer publicas las condiciones y demandas de estas comunidades. El grupo viajara con una radio que sera instalada en las comunidades por las que pasara la carrera. Esta radio transmitira programas indigenas que incluiran: reportes sobre la lucha de comunidades indigenas de todo el continente, ceremonias, cuentos, literatura, medicina, e historia de pueblos indigenas, y tambien programas para niños, sobre los derechos de la mujer y sobre el medio ambiente. Esta entrevista termina con una platica con Greñas sobre la historia y situacion actual de su pueblo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Para escuchar este programa ve a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8392.php"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/8392.php&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Algunas areas de la carrera que necesitan tu apoyo: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;• Promocion del evento. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;• Sistema de sonido para el evento del 25 de Febrero. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;• Comida para la gente que asista el evento del 25 de Febrero. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;• Transporte para quienes corran y dancen de Sonora a Tijuana. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;• Carros y gasolina para llevar medicamentos, frazadas, mochilas para la carrera. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;• Equipo de transmission de radio y walky-talkies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Para mas informacion, visita &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://carreraindigena.blogspot.com,/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;http://carreraindigena.blogspot.com,/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt; escribe a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:ojbo@riseup.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;ojbo@riseup.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt; (Español), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:flaqise@hotmail.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;flaqise@hotmail.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt; (English), o llama al 011-52-664-622-4269 (desde USA), 664-622-4269 (en Mexico) para dejar un mensaje.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.

This move was brought on by the alliance between the government and the maquila (sweat shops) owners in order to deter him from carrying out his human rights work on behalf of the mostly indigenous maquila workers. His recent release came about after intense national and international pressure. However, there is still reason to believe his safety and that of his family might be at risk. Listen to the interview for details on his case (and the similar case of journalist Lydia Cacho), working conditions of the maquila workers in Puebla, Martin’s and the Commission’s work on their behalf, and their wish for the US consumers to pressure the corporations to respect workers’ rights and the environment. The manufacture of your jeans by The Gap, The Limited, Abercrombie, Levi’s and many other clothing corporations is done by indigenous hands that endure dismal working conditions, sexual harassment, low wages, and no independent union representation. These corporations also have total disregard for the environment, the process to make jeans contaminates the waters of the Tehuacan Valley. Please do your part to affect change.&lt;br /&gt;To listen to this program go to &lt;a href="http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=16298"&gt;http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=16298&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;APPEAL BY THE HUMAN AND LABOR RIGHTS COMMISSION OF TEHUACAN VALLEY (details from Ben Cockelet, at &lt;a href="http://www.jaguaresmx.com/"&gt;http://www.jaguaresmx.com/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Martin Barrios Hernandez case please send appeals to the authorities listed below as quickly as possible:&lt;br /&gt;- calling on the authorities to take steps to guarantee the safety of Martin Barrios Hernandez and other members of the Human and Labor Rights Commission of Tehuacán Valley, according to their wishes, following his release on 12 January;&lt;br /&gt;- calling on the authorities to carry out an independent and impartial investigation into his prosecution and the alleged fabrication of charges against him, and for the results to be made public;&lt;br /&gt;- reminding the authorities that the UN Declaration on the Rights and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms recognizes the legitimacy of the activities of human rights defenders, and their right to carry out their activities without any restrictions or fear of reprisals.&lt;br /&gt;APPEALS TO:&lt;br /&gt;State Governor of Puebla:Lic.

Esta accion resulto de la alianza entre el gobierno y los dueños de las maquilas con el objetivo de amedrentar su trabajo para mejorar las condiciones de trabajo de los y las trabajadoras, mayormente indigenas, en las maquilas. Su reciente puesta en libertad fue resultado de intensa presion nacional e internacional. Pero aun hay razon para temer por su seguridad, la de su familia, y la de los otros miembros de la Comision. Escucha esta entrevista para enterarte sobre los detalles de su caso (y del caso similar de la periodista Lydia Cacho), las condiciones de trabajo de las y los trabajadores de maquila en Puebla, el trabajo de Martin y la Comision, y su pedido a los consumidores the USA para que presionen a las empresas a que respeten los derechos de los trabajadores y el medio ambiente. Tus jeans de The Gap, The Limited, Abercrombie, Levi’s, y muchas otras marcas son hechos por manos indigenas que toleran pesimas condiciones de trabajo, acoso sexual, bajos salarios, y carecen de representacion sindical independiente. Estas empresas tambien abusan el medio ambiente; el proceso usado para hacer la mezclilla (la tela de jeans) contamina las aguas del valle de Tehuacan.

Ante esto,les pedimos envíen una acción urgente pidiendo a las autoridades listadas mas abajo:&lt;br /&gt;- La seguridad para Martín Amaru Barrios Hernández, los miembros de la Comisión de Derechos Humanos del Valle de Tehuacán y sus familias.&lt;br /&gt;- Que se respeten los derechos que tienen los defensores de derechos humanos a realizar su labor, sin restricciones y represalias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lic.

Since then she has researched and written extensively on social policy and gender equality issues and the women's movement in Northern Ireland. She has a strong interest in women's history, and is a founding member of the Mary Ann McCracken Historical Society and author of When History Was Made: The Women of 1916. She works tirelessly to make community-based peacebuilding in Ireland a reality and to ensure economic disadvantage, social exclusion and marginalization of the Irish people are addressed as part of the peace process.In this interview, Ruth talks with co-host Wanbli Watakpe about many issues parallel to both the Irish and Indigenous struggles for self-determination: protection of sacred sites (the ancient site of the Hill of Tara and Skryne Valley at the very center of Ireland, and sacred Bear Butte in South Dakota are both threatened by urban development), environmental oppression (Shell Oil’s plan to build a high pressure gas line through the Rossport community in Ireland), threats to traditional culture, and informers in the movements. In addition, she gives a unique look at Leonard Peltier’s struggle for freedom by talking about the rarely mentioned year he spent behind bars in Canada prior to his extradition, and how that struggle ignited the Native movement in Canada and raised many people’s consciousness. She ends by recalling Bobby Sands, the hunger strike that ended his life and the life of nine other heroes of the Irish struggle, and how that sacrifice laid the groundwork for the current peace process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To listen to this show click on the following link: &lt;a href="http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/01/8223.php"&gt;http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/01/8223.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the movement to protect the ancient site of the Hill of Tara and Skryne Valley visit &lt;a href="http://www.sacredireland.org/"&gt;http://www.sacredireland.org/&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out about the Shell Oil high pressure pipeline through Rossport and the five men imprisoned for fighting it visit &lt;a href="http://www.freetherossportfive.com/"&gt;http://www.freetherossportfive.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Gathering of Nations to Defend Bear Butte or the Inter-Tribal Coalition to Defend Bear Butte visit &lt;a href="http://www.bringbacktheway.com/"&gt;http://www.bringbacktheway.com/&lt;/a&gt; or contact: Carter Camp at &lt;a href="mailto:cartercamp@yahoo.com"&gt;cartercamp@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;, Debra White Plume at 605-455-2155, or Vic Camp at 605-455-1122.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;The Tashunka Witko Brigade (TWB) focuses on indigenous liberation and gives voice to the indigenous people, the elders, grandmas and warriors on the ground in this our continent.
