“Unceded land is land that was never given over or conceded; it’s essentially stolen land,” Nick Estes, a Lakota historian, told The Intercept. Cannonball Ranch, specifically, was “illegally settled,” Estes said, and acquired as private property through squatters’ rights.

Only an act of Congress can abridge a treaty, opening unceded territory for non-native settlement, Estes said — but that never happened with this particular land, the status of which remains disputed. Disputes over unceded land have arisen before — most notably over the Black Hills, which resulted in a 1980 Supreme Court decision that offered a monetary settlement as reparation for the settled land — but no actual land restitution. Indigenous people have refused to take that money.

Des #villes coupées, couturées, rafistolées, des vies assignées, mais aussi émancipées : de l’analyse des #politiques_ségrégationnistes aux réflexions sur le caractère inclusif des #espaces_publics en passant par la #négociation des expériences minoritaires individuelles et collectives, les villes constituent des lieux privilégiés de l’analyse des relations entre #groupes_minoritaires et #groupes_majoritaires. La vive actualité scientifique sur le sujet en France comme ailleurs en témoigne. On peut notamment penser au colloque Question raciale / questions urbaines (▻https://www.pacte-grenoble.fr/actualites/question-raciale-questions-urbaines-frontieres-territoriales-et-racia) : frontières territoriales et #racialisation organisé en février 2019 à Grenoble, au dernier numéro de l’Information géographique (2019) consacré aux géographies de la #différence en ville, ou encore aux nombreuses sessions de la conférence annuelle de l’American Association of Geographers 2020 (▻https://aag.secure-abstracts.com/AAG%20Annual%20Meeting%202020/sessions-gallery) abordant des questions urbaines sous l’angle des #rapports_sociaux (perspectives féministes, marxistes, empruntant à la Critical Race Theory ou aux approches du Settler Colonialism). C’est dans la continuité de cette actualité que s’inscrit le #13 de la revue Urbanités. En refusant de donner a priori la primauté thématique d’un rapport social sur un autre tout en mettant l’accent sur les mécanismes de production du minoritaire et du majoritaire, ce numéro propose une pluralité de lectures des manières dont les contextes urbains participent à la (re)production des positionnements sociaux, et par conséquent, à la redéfinition du rapport entre minorités et majorités en ville.

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.

Drone Warriors: The Art of Surveillance and Resistance at #Standing_Rock

From April 2016 through February 2017, thousands of Native and non-Native people, together known as #Water_Protectors, made the Plains of #North_Dakota their home, standing in opposition to the proposed Dakota Access #Pipeline (#DAPL). They knew that the pipeline would bring more than 500,000 barrels of oil under Lake #Oahe, the only source of drinking water for the Standing Rock #Sioux Nation and millions of others downstream. Its construction threatened #Lakota cultural and sacred sites, and Standing Rock’s sovereignty as a Native nation.

As the Water Protectors faced militarized police, National Guard roadblocks, and heavy surveillance from local, state, and federal forces, a group of photographic drone operators emerged within their ranks. These #Drone_Warriors used technology to document the militarized force and police brutality the Water Protectors faced. By sending their drones up and over barricades, they illuminated spaces hidden from the public, unmasked the face of force, and showed the world the beauty of the landscape that was threatened by construction and potential contamination.

Their images motivated Water Protectors to join the movement in person, through donations, or by spreading the word on Facebook and with hashtags like #NoDAPL. We can view the use of drones by the Drone Warriors as an indigenization of neocolonial military and corporate #surveillance technology. However, we also see in these images forms of aesthetic protest in which the beauty of the water, land, and the Movement itself are on full display.

Ruling: Trump administration shortcut environmental review; Court seeks additional briefing on whether to shut down pipeline – Washington, D.C. —

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe won a significant victory today in its fight to protect the Tribe’s drinking water and ancestral lands from the Dakota Access pipeline.

A federal judge ruled that the federal permits authorizing the pipeline to cross the Missouri River just upstream of the Standing Rock reservation, which were hastily issued by the Trump administration just days after the inauguration, violated the law in certain critical respects.

In a 91-page decision, Judge James Boasberg wrote, “the Court agrees that [the Corps] did not adequately consider the impacts of an oil spill on fishing rights, hunting rights, or environmental justice, or the degree to which the pipeline’s effects are likely to be highly controversial.”

Discussion autour du collectif « Natifs et Réfugiés »

Mercredi 14 juin 2017 - à 19h - EHESS
Salle Maurice et Denys Lombard - 96, boulevard Raspail
Métro Notre-dame-des-champs ou Saint-Placide

"Natifs et Réfugiés" est un groupe d’étude, basé à New York, qui a parcouru les réserves amérindiennes du Dakota à l’Ontario ainsi que les #camp_de_réfugiés palestiniens, du Liban à la Cisjordanie. Le but était de faire parler une expérience commune des camps, comme #espace_de_lutte, d’autonomie mais aussi de confinement et de séparation. Le collectif viendra discuter de tout cela à la Breche de l’ehess le 14 juin à 19 h, 96 boulevard Raspail. Venez nombreux.

De #Standing_Rock aux camps de réfugiés : l’internationale des camps

Qu’est-ce qu’un camp ? Est-il possible de rapprocher entre-elles, par-delà les différences profondes des situations locales, les multiples expériences que les personnes, groupes, peuples, ont des camps ? Camps d’enfermement, d’accueil, de transitions, de réfugiés, de concentration, d’habitation (légaux ou non). Et si chaque camp possède sa mémoire, son histoire et ses formes de résistances spécifiques, que signifie la présence et l’usage de camps un peu partout dans le monde ?

C’est à ces questions que tente de répondre le collectif « Indigènes et Réfugiés » (« Natives and Refugees » en anglais), un projet de recherche multi-media, animé par un collectif New-Yorkais, analysant à la fois les espaces des réserves indiennes aux Etats-Unis (la Réserve indienne Pine Ridge de l’Oglala Lakota, située dans le Dakota du Sud ; Le territoire Mohawk d’Akwesasne, situé aux frontières de New York, de l’Ontario et du Québec ; et la nation Navajo (Dineh), située entre l’Arizona, le Nouveau-Mexique et l’Utah) et les camps de réfugiés palestiniens au Moyen-Orient (Ain al-Hilweh, Beddawi, Bourj al-Barajneh, Mar Elias, et Shatila au Liban ; et Aida, Al-Arroub, Balata, Dheisheh, et Jenin en Cisjordanie).

Ces espaces, géographiquement loin, ont en commun d’être géré comme des espaces d’exceptions, et d’être des lieux de conflits centraux tant pour l’autonomie palestinienne que pour celle des indiens natifs en Amérique. Le collectif présentera son travail de documentation des #mouvements_de_résistances dans les réserves et camp de réfugiés, particulièrement l’histoire récente de Standing Rock, en lutte contre le passage d’un pipeline pétrolier. Dans ce cadre, quelques courts-métrages seront diffusés et discutés.

Rendez-vous le 14 juin prochain à 19h, à la BRECHE, 96 boulevard Raspail, M ligne 4 saint Sulpice ou M 12, Rennes

Standing Rock : POUR SAUVER L’EAU, NOUS DEVONS BRISER LE CYCLE DU TRAUMATISME COLONIAL
▻http://www.chrisp.lautre.net/wpblog/?p=3949

Le monde veut soutenir Standing Rock, mais Standing Rock se dresse contre nous. Le Président Dave Archambault a jeté nos gens aux chiens quand il a dit que les actions des camps « …ne représentent ni la tribu, ni les intentions initiales des protecteurs de l’eau. » Il oublie que nous, au Camp de Sacred Camp, avons été les premiers à résister pour l’eau, et que nous sommes avec tous les camps qui ont rejoint notre lutte.

Ce mouvement a été initié par les gens, et conduit par nos jeunes. La décision de la Tribu Sioux de Standing Rock de négocier avec l’état et de disqualifier les gens venus combattre pour notre eau, est ce qui pourrait finalement mener à notre chute. Nous avons eu des milliers de gens, prêts à résister ensemble devant ces machines. Les Nations Autochtones de Turtle Island n’avaient jamais été aussi unies auparavant. Mais maintenant que la division s’accroît, c’est très difficile de voir comment avancer.

Texte original:
"At a challenging moment in our history, let us remind ourselves that we the hundreds of thousands, the millions of women, trans-people, men and youth who are here at the Women’s March, we represent the powerful forces of change that are determined to prevent the dying cultures of racism, hetero-patriarchy from rising again.

"We recognize that we are collective agents of history and that history cannot be deleted like web pages. We know that we gather this afternoon on indigenous land and we follow the lead of the first peoples who despite massive genocidal violence have never relinquished the struggle for land, water, culture, their people. We especially salute today the Standing Rock Sioux.

"The freedom struggles of black people that have shaped the very nature of this country’s history cannot be deleted with the sweep of a hand. We cannot be made to forget that black lives do matter. This is a country anchored in slavery and colonialism, which means for better or for worse the very history of the United States is a history of immigration and enslavement. Spreading xenophobia, hurling accusations of murder and rape and building walls will not erase history.

"No human being is illegal.

"The struggle to save the planet, to stop climate change, to guarantee the accessibility of water from the lands of the Standing Rock Sioux, to Flint, Michigan, to the West Bank and Gaza. The struggle to save our flora and fauna, to save the air—this is ground zero of the struggle for social justice.

"This is a women’s march and this women’s march represents the promise of feminism as against the pernicious powers of state violence. And inclusive and intersectional feminism that calls upon all of us to join the resistance to racism, to Islamophobia, to anti-Semitism, to misogyny, to capitalist exploitation.

"Yes, we salute the fight for 15. We dedicate ourselves to collective resistance. Resistance to the billionaire mortgage profiteers and gentrifiers. Resistance to the health care privateers. Resistance to the attacks on Muslims and on immigrants. Resistance to attacks on disabled people. Resistance to state violence perpetrated by the police and through the prison industrial complex. Resistance to institutional and intimate gender violence, especially against trans women of color.

"Women’s rights are human rights all over the planet and that is why we say freedom and justice for Palestine. We celebrate the impending release of Chelsea Manning. And Oscar López Rivera. But we also say free Leonard Peltier. Free Mumia Abu-Jamal. Free Assata Shakur.

"Over the next months and years we will be called upon to intensify our demands for social justice to become more militant in our defense of vulnerable populations. Those who still defend the supremacy of white male hetero-patriarchy had better watch out.

"The next 1,459 days of the Trump administration will be 1,459 days of resistance: Resistance on the ground, resistance in the classrooms, resistance on the job, resistance in our art and in our music.

“This is just the beginning and in the words of the inimitable Ella Baker, ’We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.’ Thank you”

Comment enseigner les faits survenus autour du Dakota Access Pipeline ?

Dear Critters: I hope you’re all well. I’ve received lots of requests asking about ways to teach the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) issues. I’m very encouraged by all the engagement with the NoDAPL movement - and given the space/place dimensions of the Standing Rock Tribe’s struggles against the pipeline, the member of this list are in a great position to educate students, as I’ve been a follower of this list for awhile now and benefited greatly from it. Lots of scholars in Indigenous Studies and beyond have worked to create materials for teaching Dakota Access Pipeline issues. I added a page to my website that includes as many of these scholarly resources as I know of (including the excellent Standing Rock Syllabus and this special collection), a few of my pieces on NoDAPL, and a bunch of online essays and documents associated with the issues: ►http://kylewhyte.cal.msu.edu/nodapl

Standing Rock, #NoDAPL, and Mni Wiconi

Thousands of Water Protectors from more than three hundred Native nations, as well as allied supporters from a range of social movements, gathered at the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation in Cannon Ball, North Dakota during 2016 to halt the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The DAPL threatens to cross under the Mni Sose (the Missouri River), which is the fresh-water supply for millions of humans and countless nonhuman relations. By blocking settler access to capital through direct action, the enactment of political counterclaims to the land and river through ceremony and legal challenges in U.S. courts, #NoDAPL front-line protectors are directly challenging the fossil-fuel industry’s centrality in colonial accumulation and demonstrating that climate change is indelibly linked to historic and ongoing colonialism and Indigenous erasure and elimination. Contributors to this Hot Spots series consider the social, historical, cultural, and political significance of the #NoDAPL movement, situating it within Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) history, leadership strategies and direct action/organizing, Indigenous anticolonial resistance across Turtle Island, and conditions of ongoing state violence against Indigenous bodies and lands.

Police Violence Against Native Americans Goes Far Beyond Standing Rock | FiveThirtyEight

On Nov. 28, a legal collective representing Native Americans opposing the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline filed a lawsuit against two North Dakota counties and their sheriffs, and the city of Mandan, North Dakota, and its police chief. Eight days before, the suit alleges, law enforcement officers from those places had used excessive force against a group of peaceful protesters, injuring more than 200.

The allegations in the case are striking — the lawsuit describes officers using water cannons on protesters despite freezing temperatures, shooting people in the head with non-lethal plastic rounds, and shooting a woman in the genitals with a flash-bang grenade. But this single event is part of a bigger history — one in which Native Americans interact frequently with outside law enforcement and where those interactions are often deadly.

When John Doar died in 2014, Barack Obama, who’d already awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, called him “one of America’s bravest lawyers”. Without his courage and perseverance, the president said, “Michelle and I might not be where we are today”.

Doar was the federal lawyer sent south by the Kennedy and Johnson justice departments to keep an eye on the explosive centers of the civil rights movement. Those White Houses didn’t do enough – but at least they kept watch on things. Doar escorted James Meredith to classes at the University of Mississippi, and helped calm crowds at the murder of Medgar Evers; he rescued activists from mobs during the Freedom Rides. A figure of history, in other words.

Two thousand veterans are planning to join the Standing Rock Indian Reservation protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The day before the US Army Corps of Engineers plans to close camps in North Dakota, as many as 2,000 military veterans are expected to stand in solidarity with the Native Americans and the protesters who have endured months of extreme weather, pepper spray, water cannons, as well as alleged use of grenades by police. Protests were mostly peaceful until they turned violent in late November.
