#NativeAmericans Silenced, Voters in 7 States Lose Right To Fight for #FairRepresentation 14 May 2025
The nation’s oldest and largest #Indigenous sorority is bracing for #DEI orders
#AlphaPiOmega is helping young #NativeAmerican women grow strong in their identities — but their future on college campuses is in question.

Excerpt: "#DEI initiatives in education, government and workplaces are continuing to be targeted by #Republican lawmakers across the country; in #NorthCarolina there are multiple bills filed, some targeting #HigherEducation institutions.
"Senate Bill 558, also known as the 'Eliminating ‘DEI’ in Public Higher Education,' would require the University of North Carolina system and local community colleges to prohibit certain concepts and efforts associated with DEI. The Senate passed the bill and now it heads to the House of Representatives for consideration. Because of the vague nature of the bill, if passed the language has to be finalized before enacted.
" 'We want to have schools that are able to inspire, teach and engage students from different backgrounds, experiences and identities and Indigenous students are an important part of that,' Robinson said.
" 'We want there to be programs and support that can speak to the Indigenous perspective and experience. We’re going to potentially lose that and all these different tools that have been built up over the last several decades to successfully support and mentor any number of different students, including Native students.' "

URGENT! #PhoenixArizona - #ApacheStronghold: Run from Oak Flat to Phoenix Courthouse, Run Begins May 4, 2025
By Wendsler Nosie, Sr., Apache Stronghold
Censored News, April 29, 2025
"I am putting out the call to all spiritual runners (runners and walkers), Native and nonnative, to stop the destruction of Chi'chil Bildagoteel. Oak Flat is now on death row!
"On Sunday, May 4th, Spiritual runners will begin the trek from Oak Flat to the Federal court house, Sandra Day O’Connor Court Building, for the Apache Stronghold vs. U. S. hearing, asking for a preliminary injunction to stop the land transfer of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, because of the US Forest Service intention to publish the Federal environmental impact statement before June 16 -- which allows a foreign mining company, #ResolutionCopper, to take possession of the land!
"The hearing is scheduled for May 7th at 9:30 am.
"In the next few days the details will be finalized for the run . Take a stand for future generations. Save this Sacred site for the next generation. This is urgent. Please contact us for more information or let us know you are coming.
"No drugs or alcohol. This is a spiritual journey.
"Please, please share this post we don’t have a lot of time. Your help in gathering people together is important. Blessings."

The #Interior Dept, which manages millions of acres of #PublicLands & #water, is slated for a 30.5% overall cut, acc/to the #Trump #budget. The Bureau of #Land Management #conservation programs are slated to lose $198 million in cuts, while the proposal suggests nearly $1 billion in cuts to various #tribal & Bureau of Indian Affairs programs & grants.
At a meeting of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), the U.S. counselor for economic and social affairs, Edward Heartney, touted President Donald Trump as a protector of Indigenous women. It didn’t go well. @Toastie reports for @HighCountryNew about this, and some of the other speeches at the annual meeting. Heartney slipped out in the silence immediately after he spoke. Had he waited, he would have heard what sounded like a direct rebuff to his statement, though it was written in advance. “The U.S. has opened the coastal plain to oil and gas leasing, threatening our very survival,” said model and land protector Quannah ChasingHorse on behalf of the Gwich’in Steering Committee. “The Gwich’in have never given consent for development, and our right to self-determination is being violated by interests that view our lands as a commodity,” ChasingHorse continued. “I am outraged that decisions about my people’s future are being made without us at the table.”
