S’ils ont perdu face à Trump, qui a relancé la création du pipeline Dakota Access, cinq activistes Sioux de Standing Rock lancent une série d’actions contre les banques européennes, qu’ils accusent de financer des projets climaticides. On était avec eux à Paris, à l’offensive contre la BNP Paribas et la Société Générale.

]]>Verso - The Radical origins of international indigenous representation - ▻https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/4329-the-radical-origins-of-international-indigenous-representation
While Indigenous representation has become a permanent feature at the UN, its radical origins are less well known. The historic 1977 Geneva gathering was preceded by a simpler, but no less monumental, gathering in Standing Rock, along the banks of the Missouri River. In the heat of the Northern Plains summer, 5,000 people from more than ninety-seven different Indigenous nations met from June 8 to 16, 1974. By the end of the week, the International Indian Treaty Council was founded as an international arm of the American Indian Movement (AIM), tasked with gaining international recognition at the UN for Indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. The Treaty Council’s founding document, the “Declaration of Continuing Independence,” foregrounded nationhood and treaty rights as central features of an American Indian political identity. “We condemn the United States of America for its gross violation of the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty in militarily surrounding, killing, and starving the citizens of the Independent Oglala Nation into exile,” it read, in reference to the brutal crackdown on AIM following their occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. The Treaty Council appealed to “conscionable nations” to join “in charging and prosecuting the United States of America for its genocidal practices against the sovereign Native Nations; most recently illustrated by Wounded Knee 1973 and the continued refusal to sign the United Nations 1948 Treaty on Genocide.”2 Following the seventy-one-day siege, AIM leadership had been arrested and tied up in court proceedings. Then came the brutal repression under the infamous FBI Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) that nearly destroyed Indigenous, Black, and revolutionary movements in the United States. The strategic turn to international human rights law largely saved the Indigenous movement from utter collapse in a moment of intense state repression.

▻https://labodecolonial.wordpress.com/2016/06/17/deux-esprits-un-coeur-cinq-genres
Résumé : Où l’on découvre qu’avant le premier contact avec les Européens, les sociétés amérindiennes reconnaissaient cinq genres liés à la spiritualité plutôt qu’à la sexualité, et que la caractérisation « LGBT » euro-américaine ne peut donc pas s’appliquer convenablement à cette particularité culturelle des peuples indigènes, qu’ils nommaient « Deux-Esprits ».

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the #Natives_Land_Act, which ratified and legalized the exclusion of South Africa’s black majority from land ownership in favor of the white minority. The result was “just 7% of agricultural land set aside for blacks, though they comprised nearly 70% of the population.” Following changes to the act […]

ST. LOUIS, Missouri – Une centaine de manifestants se sont rassemblés aujourd’hui au centre de St. Louis, devant le siège de la compagnie minière Peabody Coal. Des habitants de St. Louis ont été rejoints par des Navajos de Black Mesa, Arizona, des gens des Appalaches de Virginie Occidentale, région dévastée par le charbon, et des sympathisants de tous les coins des Etats-Unis, pour demander la fin de l’exploitation minière à ciel ouvert la reconnaissance des responsabilités vis-à-vis du sol et des habitants. Des résidents de Black Mesa, Don Yellowman et Fern Benally demandent à parler au PDG de Peabody, Greg H. Boyce et ont une lettre détaillée exprimant leurs inquiétudes. (Voir le texte de la lettre)
