Uranium and gold mining are tearing up the sacred He Sapa — the Black Hills of South Dakota. Tell U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland to suspend all mining claims in the Black Hills until treaty rights to ancestral homelands are respected and restored. Mni wiconi — water is life.
I am so happy to hear about this!!! Thank you everyone who supported us, #IndigenousAmericans, and helped in the fight against the genocide of our culture and the future of my ppl!!! #DebHaaland you are so awesome! TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO BE INDIGENOUS!!!
Some think #debhaaland announcing the 10-mile buffer around #ChacoCanyon is a good thing for the environment. Yes, but there is also to consider Navajo families who live in the area, who believe to have been ignored by Haaland.
Last month,Navajo lawmakers passed a bill opposing any buffer-after they tried negotiating a 5-mile zone instead last year.
