A sweeping analysis of academic research shows that Indigenous peoples are increasingly asserting influence over water governance systems around the world. Published in Nature, the study reviewed 226 peer-reviewed articles and drew from 183 case studies across 15 countries to assess how Indigenous communities engage with dominant, often colonial-era, water governance frameworks. Among the study’s central findings is that Indigenous peoples are increasingly asserting influence in water governance globally, through legal action, resistance, partnerships, and their own forms of engagement.

In Memoriam Berta Cáceres

March 14, 2026 John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Assassination, Berta Caceres, Environmental Defenders, Honduras, Indigenous Activism, Neoliberalism, Social Movements

Ten years ago Berta Cáceres, a campaigner against dams and mining projects that were displacing rural communities in Honduras, said that death threats had forced her to lead a ‘fugitive existence’. Most of the threats came from a company, Desarrollos Energeticos SA (DESA), that was planning a hydroelectric project on the Gualcarque River, sacred to Cáceres’s Indigenous Lenca community. Hired killers were tracking her movements. An attempt to assassinate her on 5 February 2016 was aborted. On 1 March, Cáceres said goodbye to her youngest daughter, who was returning to college.

Groundbreaking Indigenous Treaty On Whales’ Rights Could Change Laws

In one of his final acts before his death in 2024, Māori King Tūheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero helped galvanize Pacific Indigenous leaders to sign a landmark declaration recognizing whales’ rights. Now that effort could shape national law: New Zealand legislators this month introduced a bill grounded in the declaration, affirming whales’ rights to migrate, maintain natural behaviors and culture, and live in a healthy environment with damaged habitats restored. The bill, introduced by a member of Parliament from the Green Party, Teanau Tuiono, would recognize whales as legal persons, a status already held by corporations and other nonhuman entities.

On Jan. 13, the Tribal Council of Red Lake Nation voted unanimously to restrict ICE and other federal immigration agents from entering Red Lake lands without a court order signed by a judge with jurisdiction. The resolution became public Jan. 28, as tribal leaders warned that federal agents were already “moving north.” Under the new protocol, ICE must obtain a valid court order, present it to the Red Lake Department of Public Safety director, submit to a Red Lake officer escort at all times, and leave immediately after the order is served.

Ecological Accounting’s Debt-Climate Nexus

The IF20 Religion and Environment Working Group’s 2025 policy brief frames the debt–climate nexus as an existential constraint on low-resource countries, where debt servicing displaces public services and climate response. Building from a proposed UN-centered debt framework, this article focuses on precautionary dangers inside SDG or national accounting instruments, since swaps and valuation-based relief can become predatory when they shift territorial and resource decision-making through external monitoring and data custody.

Members of the Bolivian Workers’ Central (COB), the country’s largest labor organization, mobilized this Monday in a national strike against Decree 5503 imposed by President Rodrigo Paz, which eliminated fuel subsidies after more than 20 years. In this regard, miners, coca growers, and some sectors affiliated with the COB gathered in La Ceja, El Alto, marched through the avenues of La Paz, and finally descended towards the seat of government. The mining leaders, represented in one sector by Alfredo Uño Villca, demanded the immediate annulment of the decree and the opening of genuine channels of dialogue with the central government.

Join Michigan Tribal Nations In Opposing Line 5 Tunnel

Canadian oil corporation Enbridge is proposing a massive, six-year construction project to build a tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac—a location of immense ecological, cultural, and spiritual significance. The plan includes installing towering 400-foot cranes, flooding the area with round-the-clock artificial lighting, and disrupting one of the most pristine freshwater environments in North America. The consequences would be severe. Critical fish habitats would be destroyed, access to fishing—both commercial and subsistence—would be limited, and the construction site would cast light pollution across a designated dark sky park. The towering machinery would be visible from iconic landmarks like Mackinac Island.

Miami, FL – The Miccosukee Tribe and Friends of the Everglades won their lawsuit to shut down the detention camp known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” as ruled by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams on Thursday, August 21. The lawsuit was filed on June 27, and Judge Williams ordered a temporary stop to the construction on the site two weeks ago. Now, the state has 60 days to move the detainees and dismantle what’s been constructed so far. The lawsuit was brought to the courts on the grounds of environmental damage caused by the facility to the fragile Everglades ecosystem. Twenty acres of land have been paved over with asphalt for the facility’s operations.

Welcome To The Great Bear Sea

The ocean bumps beneath our boat, and a cold mist obscures the way forward. I peer over the driver’s shoulder to consult the GPS screen behind the steering wheel. The map reveals a labyrinth of islands, as well as dozens of inlets and fjords cutting up the western fringe of British Columbia’s Central Coast. Most bear colonial names: Jackson Passage, Laredo Inlet, Princess Royal Channel. But looking closer, I can make out other, older names: Nowish, Khutze, Kynoch. When the mist lifts, the topography pops up all around me. Sheer granite peaks plunge into a Magic Eye mirage of cedar, fir, and spruce trees rooted to rocky shores.

Trump’s Comments On Washington Football Team Name Spark Outrage

Washington—On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social suggesting that the Washington Commanders National Football League franchise revert to its offensive former nickname, drawing ire from Native American leaders. In his post, the president suggested he may stop a deal that would eventually build a stadium for the Washington Commanders if they fail to change the name back to the Redskins, which was retired in 2020 after years of protest from Native communities. He further stated that the Cleveland Guardians—who stopped using the “Indians” nickname in 2020—should change their name back and said “MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN.”

When considering workplace artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and new digital technologies, one might envision workers in Silicon Valley or remote factory robotics. However, coal miners represented by the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) are addressing the effects of technological change in coal mines and Wall Street from New York City to the Navajo Nation. In the workplace, contemporary mining technologies and practices without adequate regulations and implementation of safety technologies have resulted in a surge of silica-dust-induced Black Lung disease.

The first arrivals to Trump’s new controversial ICE detention facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by Republican politicians for its location in the Florida wilderness, were set to arrive late on Wednesday, July 2. Since Trump came into office for the second time in January, his administration has been scrambling to meet the necessary benchmarks to fulfill Trump’s campaign promise to deport between 15 to 20 million people. The newly-opened detention center is part of Trump’s latest bid to escalate his regime of mass deportations, beginning to accept prisoners a month after the Trump administration raised the quota of immigration arrests to 3,000 per day. The facility is set to open with 3,000 beds ready, with plans to expand to up to 5,000.

San Carlos Apache Reservation, Ariz. —The San Carlos Apache Tribe welcomes Friday’s federal court ruling preventing the Trump Administration from trading sacred Oak Flat to Chinese-backed Resolution Copper Mining no sooner than 60 days after the government releases an environmental report expected to be published later this month. The Trump Administration had indicated that it intended to trade 2,422 acres of Tonto National Forest 70 miles east of Phoenix that includes Oak Flat to Resolution Copper immediately upon publication of the mine’s updated environmental report.

Panama: Indigenous Leaders Condemn ‘Criminalization Of Protests’

Indigenous authorities in Panama have condemned the “escalation of persecution and repression” by the government of President Raúl Mulino. The traditional authorities of the Ngabe-Buglé Comarca claim that armed security agents have made violent house-to-house raids including the use of tear gas, large-caliber weapons and arbitrary arrests of indigenous leaders in various communities, such as Trinidad, El Piro, Ojo de Agua, Tolé, Viguí and El Prado. Faced with nationwide strikes and protest, President Mulino has eschewed dialogue and instead deployed riot police and armed SENAFRONT (National Border Service) officers to disperse marches and gatherings using chemical agents. Dozens have been injured but the protests are continuing into their second month.
