Today, as the first <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmerican</a> to be the secretary of the interior — the first to lead any cabinet department — she has the opportunity to support the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstAmendment</a> rights of the protesters she joined in the past."With her authority over energy development on federal lands, Haaland can be a voice for Indigenous and climate movements facing an urgent threat: the rapid spread of laws to protect 'critical infrastructure' that single out activists."Since 2016, 13 states have quietly enacted laws that increase criminal penalties for trespassing, damage, and interference with infrastructure sites such as oil refineries and pipelines. At least five more states have already introduced similar legislation this year. These laws draw from national security legislation enacted after 9/11 to protect physical infrastructure considered so 'vital' that the 'incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety.'"Many industry sectors are designated critical infrastructure, including food and agriculture, energy, water and wastewater, and communications, but most state critical infrastructure laws focus more narrowly on oil and gas <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipelines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pipelines</a>. While protecting critical infrastructure is a legitimate government function, these laws clearly target environmental and Indigenous activists by significantly raising the penalties for participating in or even tangentially supporting pipeline trespassing and property damage, crimes that are already illegal. Many laws are modelled on draft legislation prepared by the American Legislative Exchange Council, also known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ALEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ALEC</a>, a powerful lobbying group funded by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuel</a> companies like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExxonMobil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExxonMobil</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Shell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shell</a>."Central to the new critical infrastructure laws are increased criminal penalties and vague, broad definitions that could discourage protest and particularly, nonviolent civil disobedience. Many laws make any 'damage' to or 'interference' with a facility deemed critical infrastructure a felony. Under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ohio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ohio</a>’s law, trespass with the purpose of 'tampering' with a facility is a third degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. In Indiana, a felony conviction is applied for any facility trespass, a crime that is typically a misdemeanor or fine."Vague language like 'damage,' 'tamper,' and 'impede' in critical infrastructure laws makes it unclear if, for example, knocking down <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SafetyCones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SafetyCones</a> and starting a fire next to a natural gas facility are the same under the law. Many critical infrastructure laws do not clarify if they apply only to land a company fully owns or also to pipeline easements, which run through both public and private lands. At least some laws apply to both. Only a week after Louisiana’s critical infrastructure law was enacted, opponents of the Bayou Bridge pipeline were charged with trespassing for boating on public waters on the border of a pipeline easement."The combination of overly broad language and steep penalties in critical infrastructure laws make it likely that future activists and supporting organizations will be discouraged from exercising their First Amendment-protected protest rights. A lawsuit brought in response to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BayouBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BayouBridge</a> charges will test the laws for the first time on First Amendment grounds."Many of these laws even extend beyond the protesters. In a proposed law in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Minnesota</a>, anyone who 'recruits, trains, aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires' someone to trespass without a 'reasonable effort' to prevent the trespassing is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oklahoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oklahoma</a> organizations that conspire with perpetrators are liable to be fined up to $1 million. These laws may infringe on the freedom of association protected under the First Amendment. Indeed, the Supreme Court ruled that the illegal actions of a few individuals do not implicate an entire group."The criminalization of environmental protest is fueled by federal security agencies and oil and gas companies, who are often major political donors. For years, the Department of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HomelandSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomelandSecurity</a> and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have labelled activists at infrastructure sites as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DomesticTerrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DomesticTerrorists</a> and violent extremists in order to justify further <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillance</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#policing</a>. Government documents have been released that detail the FBI’s focus on '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AnimalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnimalRights</a> / <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalExtremism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalExtremism</a>,' describing even <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonviolentProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NonviolentProtesters</a> as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/extremists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extremists</a>."At Standing Rock, a private security firm [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blackwater</a>] hired by the pipeline companies consistently referred to protesters as 'terrorists' while working with law enforcement. Ahead of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KeystoneXLPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KeystoneXLPipeline</a> protests in 2018, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DHS</a> agents held an '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiTerrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiTerrorism</a> training' for state and local authorities. In contrast, members of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FarRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FarRight</a> militant group the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThreePercenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThreePercenters</a> have established a significant presence at oil and gas plants with little law enforcement reaction."To be sure, as the recent power outages in Texas showed so vividly, the United States needs reliable energy. But it’s questionable whether pipeline construction sites that could feasibly be moved or replaced with renewable energy sources should legitimately be considered 'vital' to the energy grid. Furthermore, a singular focus on this aspect of security comes at the cost of others. Whose essential resources do pipeline projects protect and whose do they threaten? Black Americans are disproportionately likely to live near natural <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GasPipelines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GasPipelines</a> and experience higher <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CancerRisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CancerRisk</a> due to unclean air. An oil spill from the Dakota Access Pipeline could devastate the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SiouxTribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiouxTribe</a>’s water source. Meanwhile, on some reservations, 10 percent of households lack electricity and as many as 40 percent of households must haul water and use outhouses. The well-being of these communities must count too."The rise in critical infrastructure laws may foreshadow more anti-protest legislation to come. A similar wave of anti-protest laws has already begun in response to the 2020 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackLivesMatter</a> protests. State legislators contemplating critical infrastructure laws should bear in mind that laws that criminalize trespassing and protect the safety of construction workers and law enforcement already exist. Critical infrastructure laws don’t fill an unmet need — they only raise the penalties for specific groups of people. Courts adjudicating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstAmendment</a> challenges in the coming years should recognize that these laws are overbroad and impose disproportionately severe penalties that chill freedom of assembly and association."As secretary of the interior, Haaland promises to uplift the voices of Indigenous and climate protesters in the Biden administration. State legislators, law enforcement, and the fossil fuel industry should follow suit and listen to these activists rather than suppressing constitutionally protected activity under the guise of national security."Source: <a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/anti-protest-laws-threaten-indigenous-and-climate-movements" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/anti-protest-laws-threaten-indigenous-and-climate-movements</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrennanCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrennanCenter</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoDAPL</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoKXL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoKXL</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PipelineProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PipelineProtests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ErikPrince</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigOilAndGas</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oiligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oiligarchy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalRacism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AirIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExxonLied" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExxonLied</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blackwater</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandWithStandingRock</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRockSioux</a>

We expect more from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthDakota</a> judges and members of the jury from our neighboring communities."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a>’s claims in this case were ridiculous. They were wholly disrespectful of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRockSioux</a> Tribe, our ancestors, and our youth, who started the movement in 2016 to protect our water from an oil spill from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DAPL</a>. Neither Greenpeace nor anyone else paid or persuaded Standing Rock to oppose DAPL. "Our young people and our elders urged us to protect our water and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnciMakah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnciMakah</a> (grandmother earth). That is what happened, and is happening still. Energy Transfer’s false and self-serving narrative that Greenpeace manipulated Standing Rock into protesting DAPL is patronizing and disrespectful to our people."We understand that many Morton County residents support the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OilIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OilIndustry</a>, even out-of-state <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pipeline</a> companies such as Energy Transfer. But we are your neighbors, and you should not be fooled that easily. Energy Transfer does not know us. They don’t know who we are – an Indigenous Nation that has survived every attack because our ancestors are with us. "Greenpeace did not manipulate Standing Rock, but <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a> has manipulated <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MortonCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MortonCounty</a>. DAPL crosses our Treaty and aboriginal land for hundreds of miles. "Our ancestors occupied this land for thousands of years before <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthDakota</a> came into existence. The land between the Heart and Missouri River are our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unceded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unceded</a> Treaty lands under the 1868 and 1851 Fort Laramie Treaties. Our aboriginally-occupied territories extend east to the James River and beyond. That is a historical truth. If Greenpeace can be held liable for telling the truth about Sioux Nation Treaty rights, then we are all in trouble."The construction of Fort Rice on our northern boundary in 1864 was a violation of the Fort Laramie Treaties. This required our Tribe to be vigilant. No one should be surprised that warrior society burials are found in this area, near the pipeline route."And do not insult our cultural experts, who have wisdom over matters most residents of Morton County or bureaucrats at the State Historical Society know absolutely nothing about. Energy Transfer and its lawyers should be ashamed of themselves. Everyday North Dakotans on the jury should know better."When it comes to the excessive police and private security response to the generally peaceful protests at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CannonBall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CannonBall</a>, believe your eyes. The scenes of guard dogs menacing Tribal members are reminiscent of the violence of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteSupremacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteSupremacists</a> in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeepSouth</a> during the 1950’s and 60’s, but it was in North Dakota, in this day and age. It was on the news and on the internet."Many of the protesters were Native American veterans of the United States armed forces. Energy Transfer used attack dogs against peaceful protesters and war heroes. But the jury sided with the out-of-state, unlicensed security with the attack dogs, instead of North Dakota veterans who supported Standing Rock."A Texas oil company has come to North Dakota, and its lawyers and propaganda machine are weaving stories about how the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and our supporters have lied, and how the poor pipeline company, a trillion dollars richer than in 2016 when this all started, should receive extra millions from non-profit organizations. It’s a funny thing about liars – they always accuse everyone else of lying. The Greenpeace trial was marked by secrecy."The court is not making the transcript public. The documents obtained by Greenpeace about Energy Transfer’s terrible safety record are protected by a secrecy order and are not available to the public. The judge exhibited so much bias in favor of Energy Transfer that a team of international human rights lawyers felt compelled to monitor the trial. One prominent monitor stated 'In my six decades of legal practice, I have never witnessed a trial as unfair as the one against Greenpeace that just ended in the courts of North Dakota.'"Standing Rock has tried to work for greater transparency on DAPL. It is our experience with the Army Corps of Engineers and Energy Transfer that all documents relating to DAPL pipeline safety are heavily redacted, and kept secret. What are they hiding? Who is looking out for the communities that may be affected by an oil spill? And why didn’t the North Dakota court allow Greenpeace to address these questions at the trial? "DAPL is a dangerous pipeline. It crosses our unceded Treaty and aboriginal land. Energy Transfer destroyed Tribal burials as identified by our cultural experts, and committed violence against our people. That is the history that North Dakota and Morton County must reckon with.

A source of existence. A portal to other worlds. For thousands of years, the Indigenous Peoples of what is now known as North and South Dakota co-existed reciprocally with the Missouri River, its waters offering life while also inspiring legends and languages. In Tahnaanooku’, filmmaker Justin Deegan takes an experimental approach to the severing of this relationship between his community — the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara — and the river, the result of over 80 years of US government efforts to control the Missouri, including via the Garrison Dam."Seen through the eyes of Deegan’s mother, Darline, Tahnaanooku’ intertwines past, present, and future, land and language, dreams and reality. The staunching of the Missouri contrasts with a fluid streak of horses, the diminished river currents interweave with the light of the aurora borealis. In dreams, Darline — a designer, activist, mother, and grandmother — receives messages from the original Mother, Earth itself. Meanwhile, the stark visual backdrop of the Garrison Dam offers an immovable reminder of the ruinous history of the Pick-Sloan Plan, deemed by legendary historian Vine Deloria Jr. (Standing Rock Sioux) to be 'the single most destructive act ever perpetrated on any tribe by the United States.'"Glimpsed in ceremony, Darline (one of the last speakers of the critically endangered ancient Arikara language) offers care to a fellow grandmother and shares hope for the generations to come."Watch: <a href="https://www.reciprocity.org/films/tahnaanooku" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reciprocity.org/films/tahnaanooku</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arikara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arikara</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRockSioux</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mandan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mandan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hidatsa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hidatsa</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arikara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arikara</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MotherEarth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MissouriRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MissouriRiver</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GarrisonDam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GarrisonDam</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DCEFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DCEFF</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousStorytellers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousStorytellers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousFilms</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReciprocityProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReciprocityProject</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reciprocity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilmMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousFilmMakers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousWisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousWisdom</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousKnowledge</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reciprocity</a>

Peaceful demonstrations are a catalyst for the advancement of human rights. Yet around the world governments are criminalizing dissent and suppressing public <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protest</a>, often as a means to protect <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateInterests</a>. In this context, indigenous peoples increasingly find themselves as the subjects of arrests, criminal prosecution and police violence when defending the lands they rely upon for their existence and survival from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResourceExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResourceExtraction</a> by industries who are operating without the free prior and informed consent of the affected communities.2. This report is submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IACHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IACHR</a>) in conjunction with a thematic hearing held during the 172nd period of sessions. At the hearing, Commissioners heard directly from those involved in the indigenous-led resistance to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DakotaAccessPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DakotaAccessPipeline</a> (DAPL) at Standing Rock, North Dakota. This report addresses the criminalization and suppression of protest by indigenous human rights defenders and their allies by United States (U.S.) federal, state and local governments, working hand-in-hand with private security forces [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blackwater</a>], specifically in relation to the construction and operation of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DAPL</a> by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a> Partners and Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and the connected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BayouBridgePipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BayouBridgePipeline</a> (collectively the “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BakkenPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BakkenPipeline</a>”).3. Standing Rock is an emblematic case of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousResistance</a> to extractive industry that drew attention from around the world as water protectors met on the banks of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MissouriRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MissouriRiver</a> in peaceful assembly in what was the largest gathering of indigenous peoples in the U.S. in 100 years. Standing Rock is merely one example of how the U.S. government works with industry to approve energy projects carried out without the meaningful participation or consent of indigenous nations. Indigenous peoples are left with no choice but to peacefully protest and then are criminalized for their efforts to defend their lands and resources.4. Since Standing Rock, there has been an alarming trend by the United States government and state legislatures to criminalize opposition to pipelines and other energy projects. These <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiProtest</a> and so-called “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalInfrastructure</a> laws” progress towards criminalizing dissent and implicitly condone the use of excessive force towards human rights defenders, often including indigenous peoples and their allies who are at the forefront of resistance to extractive industries. As the international community has acknowledged, these laws are incompatible with domestic and international law. The governments’ use of excessive force and mass arrests to threaten, intimidate, and silence “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterProtectors</a>” seeking to defend their lands, resources, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culture</a>, and the collusion with private security forces, violate fundamental human rights to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> and Aassembly enshrined in international human rights law and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USConstitution</a>.5.

The report notes that there is no clear indication where the fluid migrated, but that it could have seeped into the surrounding soil.“'The Corps has failed to act and failed to protect the tribe,' Alkire said of the report’s findings."The report was prepared by engineering consulting firm Exponent for environmental advocacy group <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greenpeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Greenpeace</a> as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by pipeline developer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a>.

Eyes were opened when mercs sicced vicious attack dogs on women and children guarding sacred burial grounds with their lives. Folks thousands of miles away watched in horror as they witnessed concussion grenades being thrown into crowds and elders being maced in the midst of sweat lodge raids. People will never forget live stream video picked up by mainstream media, showing hundreds of civilians being shot with water cannons in subzero temperatures by a corporate police state army. Some photos of injuries were judged too graphic to post by social media, as they revealed a young woman with a near severed limb and another who’d been blinded in one eye.“This was not Iraq or Afghanistan. There was no foreign enemy invading our shores. These events occurred in the middle of the United States, on Lakota treaty lands; and the only thing these innocent people had done was dare to stand in the way of the Dakota Access Pipeline, the same one Bismarck, North Dakota residents rejected due to fears it would contaminate their water supply. This war zone created by Dakota Access and Morton County was meant to subdue Standing Rock residents and water protectors and force them to accept an unwarranted risk to their fresh water and the desecration of ancestral graves, under the barrel of a gun.“Here in the states, hundreds of Native Nations and the American public sided with Standing Rock. Scores came to camp along the shores of the Mni Sosa (Missouri River). Others rallied in the local cities, signed petitions, and called the White House. Millions were outraged by the injustice.“Yet who is paying for the corporate police state brutality I just mentioned? You are.“Senator John Hoeven (R-ND), who accepted money from Energy Transfer Partners (the company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline) and has been vocal in his support of both the Dakota Access Pipeline as well as the Keystone XL pipeline, has announced that North Dakota will receive $15 million in federal funds to reimburse the state for costs incurred as a result of militarizing Barney Fife and company while they pushed the pipeline through for ETP and engaged in the violent, forced removal of water protectors. Hoeven slid said monies into the Department of Justice’s budget as part of Fiscal 2017 funding legislation.“By the way, Hoeven sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee and is now the chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. Welcome to Custer’s wet dream.“The distinguished Senator from North Dakota would have us believe his state was alone in its mission to extinguish <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoDAPL</a>. Nothing could be further from the truth.“When Morton County requested backup, law enforcement officials from across the nation came to North Dakota via the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). The Sheriff’s Association also showed up in full force.“New York Daily News writer Shaun King obtained audio where <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransferPartners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransferPartners</a> freely admitted that they worked closely with the Sheriff’s Association, and wow, did they ever. They became one and the same.“<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterProtectors</a> who lived at camp can attest to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ETP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ETP</a> and law enforcement’s collusion and fraternization, but the record speaks for itself.“The Sheriffs’ Association has a $3.46 million budget, according to tax forms. Some of this funding comes from corporate sources, like TigerSwan. TigerSwan maintains offices in Iraq and Afghanistan. TigerSwan’s CEO is a former adviser to the multinational private security firm, Blackwater. Blackwater was founded by Erik Prince, a Trump campaign donor and the brother of Betsy DeVos, the US Secretary of Education. Besides funding the Sheriff’s Association, TigerSwan is in charge of Dakota Access intelligence and supervising overall security for the company. Tigerswan works for Dakota Access, while funding and partnering with the Sheriffs’ Association.“The Sheriff’s Association purchased military gear from the US Department’s Defense Logistics Agency thanks to the Defense Department’s 1033 program.

While not everyone can support the event in person, there are still many ways people can raise awareness toward issues affecting Indigenous communities from wherever they are - by '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/decolonising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#decolonising</a>' their Thanksgiving dinner."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Decolonisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decolonisation</a> can be defined as the active resistance against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/settlerColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#settlerColonialism</a> and a shifting of power towards Indigenous sovereignty. Of course, it’s difficult to define decolonisation without putting it into practice, writes Eve Tuck and K Wayne Yang in their essay, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decolonization</a> Is Not a Metaphor. Rather, one of the most radical and necessary moves toward decolonisation requires imagining and enacting a future for Indigenous peoples - a future based on terms of their own making."Matt Hooley is an assistant professor in the department of Native American and Indigenous Studies at Dartmouth College, where he teaches about US colonial powers and Indigenous cultural production. 'Decolonisation is a beautiful and difficult political horizon that should guide our actions everyday, including during holidays like Thanksgiving,' he tells The Independent. 'Of course, Thanksgiving is a particularly relevant holiday to think about decolonisation because the way many people celebrate it involves connecting ‘the family’ to a colonial myth in which colonialism is inaccurately imagined as a peaceful event in the past.'"By decolonising our Thanksgiving, we can celebrate the holiday with new traditions that honour a future in which Indigenous people are celebrated. This year, we can start by understanding the real history behind Thanksgiving as told by actual Indigenous communities."While Americans mainly dedicate one day a year to give thanks, Indigenous communities express gratitude every day with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Haudenosaunee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haudenosaunee</a> Thanksgiving Address - often called: 'The words that come before all else.' The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address is the central prayer and invocation for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HaudenosauneeConfederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HaudenosauneeConfederacy</a>, which comprises the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SixNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SixNations</a> - <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mohawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mohawk</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oneida" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oneida</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Onondaga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Onondaga</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cayuga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cayuga</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Seneca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seneca</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tuscarora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tuscarora</a>. When one recites the Thanksgiving Address, they’re giving thanks for all life and the natural world around them."According to Hooley, one of the most straightforward actions people can take to decolonise their Thanksgiving includes supporting Indigenous land acknowledgments and land back movements. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandBack</a> is an ongoing Indigenous-led movement which seeks to return ancestral lands to Indigenous people and the recognition of Indigenous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sovereignty</a>. While the movement is nowhere near new, it received international attention in 2016 during protests against the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DakotaAccesSPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DakotaAccesSPipeline</a> - which continues to disrupt land and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a> sources belonging to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRockSioux</a> Tribe."This year, sit down with family and friends to discuss an action plan and highlight the concrete steps you plan on taking to support Indigenous communities. 'Another, even simpler way would be to begin participating in what’s called a ‘Voluntary Land Tax,’ whereby non-Indigenous people contribute a recurring tax to the tribal communities whose land you occupy,' said Hooley."Food is perhaps the most important part of the Thanksgiving holiday, with turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes taking center stage. However, there are many ways we can make sure our dinner tables honour Indigenous futurisms too. Donald A Grinde, Jr is a professor emeritus in the department of Africana and American Studies at the University at Buffalo. Grinde - who is a member of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YamasseeNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YamasseeNation</a> - tells The Independent that crops such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corn</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beans</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/squash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#squash</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tomatoes</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/potatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#potatoes</a> are central to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousHistory</a> and future."'A good thing is to be thankful for the abundance in the fall and note that Native people created over 60 percent of modern <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/agricultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agricultural</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/crops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crops</a>,' he said. 'People can be thankful for the crops that Native people created, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/medicines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medicines</a> created, and traditions about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomensRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomensRights</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> rights.'"Rather than buying food from major corporations this year, Hooly also recommended people consciously source their Thanksgiving dinner from Indigenous producers. 'Industrial agriculture is one of the most devastating contributors to the destruction of land and water everywhere, including on Indigenous land,' he said. 'Instead of buying food grown or made by colonial corporations, people could buy their food from Indigenous producers, or even simply make a greater effort to buy locally grown food or not to buy meat harvested from industrial farms.'"Thanksgiving is just a day away. While it’s important that we’re actively working toward highlighting Indigenous communities on this special holiday, decolonisation efforts are something that should be done year-round."'People can also learn about political priorities of the Indigenous communities near them and support those priorities by speaking to their representatives, participating in a protest, or by making sure that their local school and library boards are including Indigenous texts in local community education,' Hooley said."<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/decolonize-thanksgiving-dinner-observance-national-213225020.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/decolonize-thanksgiving-dinner-observance-national-213225020.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decolonization</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandTheft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandTheft</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalPreservation</a>

None of them responded to requests for comment. "To TigerSwan, the emergence of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a>-led social movements to keep oil and gas in the ground represented a business opportunity. Reese anticipated new demand from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuel</a> industry for strategies to undermine the network of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activists</a> his company had so carefully gathered information on. In the records, TigerSwan expressed its ambitions to repurpose these detailed records to position themselves as experts in managing pipeline protests. The company created marketing materials pitching work to at least two other energy companies building controversial oil and gas infrastructure, the records show. TigerSwan, which was staffed heavily with former members of military special operations units, branded its tactics as a 'counterinsurgency approach,' drawing directly from its leaders’ experiences fighting the so-called War on Terror abroad. "TigerSwan did not just work in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthDakota</a>.

"'For them, it was an opportunity to help create a narrative against our tribe and our supporters,' said Wasté Win Young, a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the one of the plaintiffs in a class action civil rights lawsuit against TigerSwan and local law enforcement. Young’s social media posts repeatedly showed up in the documents. 'We weren’t motivated by money or payoffs or anything like that. We just wanted to protect our homelands.'"

Since 2008, TigerSwan has won about $57.7 million worth of U.S. government contracts and subcontracts for security services."Company founder and CEO James Reese, a veteran of the elite Army Delta Force, served as the 'lead advisor for Special Operations to the Director of the CIA for planning, operations and integration for the invasion of Afghanistan and Operation Enduring Freedom' in Iraq, according to his company biography.
