Le donne Sioux e Lakota che hanno dato inizio alla lotta di Standing Rock. "Per voi uomini bianchi il Paradiso è in cielo; per noi, il Paradiso è la Terra. Quando ci avete rubato la Terra, ci avete rubato il Paradiso". [Post suggerito da Antonietta Agostini -Sebben che siamo donne.

Collage for week of July 5…the joy of celebrating an unprecedented victory this week for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe with a ruling by a federal judge to shutdown the Dakota Access Pipeline because of inadequacies of it’s environmental assessments. It took four long years, but today justice has been served at Standing Rock,” attorney Jan Hasselman, who represents the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, said in a press release. “If the events of 2020 have taught us anything, its that health and justice must be prioritized early on in any decision-making process if we want to avoid a crisis later on.”

My family does not celebrate Thanksgiving, as we do not celebrate our colonizers’ holidays. I live in the one of the poorest places in the country, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, which is a three hours’ drive away from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. My family does not have enough money to have a feast for Thanksgiving, and neither do most families on reservations. Thanksgiving is not a holiday to us — it is a day of mourning. If this seems radical or overdramatic, look back at everything I just told you. You might see why we feel this way.

The first “Thanksgiving” invited violence, disease, rape, and other elements of colonialism into our land, so you can understand why we may not see Thanksgiving the same way you do.

In grade school, you are taught that the Pilgrims sailed across from Europe in the Mayflower. Two months later, they landed in what is today Plymouth, Massachusetts. You are told that Squanto, an indigenous person from the Patuxet band of the Wampanoag Tribe, taught the Pilgrims how to grow food, to catch fish, to prevent them from starving to death. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists, or Pilgrims, and Wampanoag Tribe, or “Indians,” shared an autumn harvest feast that lasted three days — the first “Thanksgiving.” Or so you’re taught.

The first “Thanksgiving” actually started with a treaty between England and the Wampanoag Nation. This treaty proposed that the Wampanoag would protect the English from any enemies, and that the English would do the same for the Wampanoag. But as all first nation tribes know, treaties meant nothing to the colonizers. Soon after, up to 25,000 English men landed in the “New World.” The sickness they brought wiped out most of the Wampanoag Nation, but this was not the end.

TODAY IS A DAY OF SOLIDARITY. We are standing with the Wet'suwet'en who have been fighting big oil and gas for over a decade! Before #standingrock there was #unistoten On January 7, the Canadian settler-colonial state sent its federal police force, the RCMP, to enforce an injunction against the Wet'suwet'en nation. Members of the Gidimt'en and Unis'tot'en clans have been defending their lands – which have never been ceded to the Canadian state – from an incursion from members of the extractive industry who are seeking to push through the multi-billion dollar CoastalGasLink pipeline, which aims transport fracked gas across their territories to refineries in Kitimat and ultimately to export markets in Asia. Today the RCMP succeeded in raiding the first checkpoint, set up on the Gidimt'en territories. At the time of posting, a second raid on the Unis'tot'en camp is expected any moment. Share and learn more! The threat to water and land effects us all! We are all down stream!
