I don't usually make these kind of posts because I'm not good at them, but a place that is part of my personal mutual aid endeavors just had a major emergency that effected nearly a hundred elders and families:

The Elder Complex, located on the Oglala Lakota Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, burned to the ground this morning (Jan. 21, 2026). Fortunately, it doesn't appear any casualties have occurred, but dozens of elders have been displaced and all their belongings lost. They are currently sheltering at a local school, with the Dakotas Red Cross and other organizations on the scene. Rez life on the high plains is hard enough, but this January is particularly harsh, with sub-zero temperatures expected for the coming weeks.
If you are able, please consider donating to organizations to support the impacted elders and their families.

I participate through One Spirit's mutual aid program of sponsoring a child on the reservation, and it looks like they have updated the program to allow for individual acts without having to sign up. If participating in direct mutual aid is something you want to try, I encourage it:

Free Leonard Peltier.
From Huffington Post:
The U.S. government put Peltier in prison in 1977 after he was convicted for killing two FBI agents in a 1975 shoot-out on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
There was never evidence that Peltier committed this crime. The FBI and U.S. attorney’s office never did figure out who killed those agents.
But Peltier, who was one of dozens of people present at the shoot-out, was the only person left for them to go after. He had been separated from his co-defendants, all of whom had already been acquitted on grounds of self-defense. Prosecutors in his trial hid key evidence. The FBI threatened and coerced witnesses into lying. On the second day of the trial, a juror admitted she was biased against Native Americans but was kept on.
Peltier has maintained his innocence the entire time he’s been in prison. He had a chance to be released in 2009 when he was up for parole, but it would have required him to say that he murdered the two FBI agents. He wouldn’t do it. His parole was denied.
You may not know Leonard Peltier's story. I encourage you to give an old man five minutes of your time and read the article.

Hello folks, as we know like indigenous ppl on turtle island is in an ongoing state of being extremely shitted on by "US of A", and because of climate crisis the weather shits itself, there is a major winter storm with alarms of extreme cold and wind chill warning occuring at this moment, please stay safe everyone!
There's this organization called Chunka Luta Network, currently they are directly helping the traditional families on Porcupine get wood delivered and fill their propane tanks, and to make sure that happen they are working with tribes in Oklahoma.
For background, this org is founded by Sungmanitu, an Oglala Lakota person, their family is from Pine Ridge reservation, after years of making sure their family survive every winter by sending wages back home, they decided to start a winter drive to get coats, hats, a uhaul, wood, and hotels. Now the momentum has been rolling and they are making more tangible impact and carrying out more and bigger projects! <:)

Leonard Peltier is almost 80 years old. He’s a Native activist in the American Indian Movement (AIM), a citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band
Leonard Peltier is almost 80 years old. He’s a Native activist in the American Indian Movement (AIM), a citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, and is now serving his 49th year of incarceration, making him the longest-serving political prisoner in U.S. history.
Leonard, now elderly and battling chronic health conditions that were made even worse after he contracted COVID while in prison, is serving two life sentences for his alleged role in the deaths of two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Principally charged with the murders, Peltier’s co-defendants were found not guilty on grounds of self-defense. In Leonard’s case, exculpatory ballistics evidence was withheld, testimony coerced by the FBI was recanted, and a recognition of the violation of his Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury has fueled the global support for his release.
Over the years, the level of clear misconduct has prompted the very officials who put him behind bars to step forward and join the cry for justice for Leonard Peltier. Former FBI Special Agent and former Minneapolis Division Counsel Coleen Rowley wrote to President Biden asking to release Leonard Peltier and James Reynolds, the former federal prosecutor who oversaw Leonard Peltier’s post-trial sentencing and appeals, also wrote to Biden asking for clemency, saying:
“I have realized that the prosecution and continued incarceration of Mr. Peltier was and is unjust. We were not able to prove that Mr. Peltier personally committed any offense on the Pine Ridge Reservation.”
We have a lot of support in this urgent fight for justice. UN experts, U.S. Congressmembers, Amnesty International, the Democratic National Committee's Native American Caucus, the National Caucus of Native American State Legislators, the National Congress of American Indians, human rights leaders (such as Nelson Mandela, Coretta Scott King, and the Dalai Lama), and many others have called for Peltier to be released.
In addition to celebrities, human rights leaders, and United Nations legal experts calling on President Biden to grant Leonard Pelter his freedom, hundreds of Indigenous artists wrote in a letter to President Biden: “Nothing is more emblematic of the mistreatment of American Indians and the uneven hand of the criminal justice system than the handling of his case by the federal government.”
The time has long past for Leonard to be freed. Compassionate release was denied. We petitioned the Parole Commission to finally grant Leonard his freedom, and it was denied.
Now, President Joe Biden may be Leonard Peltier’s last and best hope for freedom. But let’s be clear, the only way Leonard Peltier can get his freedom restored is through public pressure on President Biden.
Peltier should be able to live out the rest of his life in dignity, with his family on his ancestral homelands.
Now, together with a broad coalition of organizations representing millions of people across the country, we’re asking you to join the fight.

“This week, temperatures on the rez will be dropping below zero and won't return to positive for several days. It is forecasted to get as low as -27 BEFORE wind chill is considered.
This is expected to be a very difficult time, especially for those who are without proper heating sources. Most homes rely on wood-burning stoves but firewood is in short supply and hard to acquire. It can also be very expensive. We have already begun to receive many calls looking for assistance - but we need your help.
One truckload of firewood costs about $200 - that is all it would take to get a family through these incredibly cold days ahead and prevent serious injury.
Thank you for supporting One Spirit and the Lakota people of Pine Ridge Reservation.”
