Tohono O'odham Nation - The Tohono O'odham Nation is preparing for potential confrontations between tribal members defending their land and federal contractors who will soon be uprooting thousands of cacti, including sacred saguaros, to make way for border-wall construction that's fiercely opposed by the tribe. The Nation's emergency management office has set up a medical station at the San Miguel Community Center — much closer to the border than the hospital in Sells — with emergency services, a mobile health center and dozens of tribal police and fire personnel ready to attend anyone who needs assistance, whether due to use-of-force incidents, such as pepper spray, or simple dehydration, said Anthony Manuel, administrator of the emergency management office.

250 Years Of Lies, 500 Years Of Uprising

July 4, 2026 Struggle - La Lucha. Resist! American genocide, American Revolution, Indigenous Resistance, Settler colonialism

The so-called “United States” is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. We, the first people of this land, do not have to look far to spot the hypocrisy of celebrating a document that calls our ancestors “Merciless Indian Savages.” Today, we witness a country that proclaims “freedom” while kidnapping our immigrant neighbors without due process, passing laws that encourage harassment and discrimination against our LGBTQ and two-spirit relatives, and pulling out every political, legal and military strategy to suppress any form of dissent against the state.

The Indian Wars Continue: 150 Years After Victory At Greasy Grass

July 3, 2026 Nick Estes, Black Agenda Report. Educate! American history, American Revolution, Indigenous Resistance, Wars and Militarism

Since the 1776 Declaration of Independence, the United States has only formally declared war eleven times across five conflicts, and yet it has been at war in hundreds of conflicts throughout most of its existence. To answer why the United States is locked into a state of perpetual war, we have to look to the violent seizure Indigenous land. Tracing this history back to the nation’s founding, as illuminated by the new First America podcast series, reveals how Native resistance has radically shaped U.S. history, laying the groundwork for its most violent conflicts and unchecked militarism.

Chile Engulfed In Plantation And Climate-Fueled Mega-Fires

Chile is once again engulfed in catastrophic wildfires. Fueled by extreme heat, prolonged drought, and high winds, fires tearing through the central and southern Ñuble and Bío Bío, regions have killed at least 19 people, forced mass evacuations, and destroyed hundreds of homes. Authorities have declared states of emergency as firefighters and community brigades struggle to contain blazes advancing with terrifying speed. These fires the predictable outcome of climate change layered onto a highly flammable landscape engineered by decades of political and economic decisions—decisions rooted in dictatorship, neoliberalism, and the violent dispossession of Indigenous Mapuche communities.

Indigenous Resistance Forces Peña’s Government To Back Down

October 6, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Resist! Blockades, Indigenous Resistance, Paraguay, Right wing politics

For several days, various Indigenous communities have been mobilizing and protesting in Paraguay against recent decisions of the right-wing government of Santiago Peña. Peña hails from the Colorado Party, one of the oldest parties in Latin America, which, incidentally, was the political base of the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner (1954-1989), one of the longest-serving dictators in 20th-century history. The protesters are demanding the resignation of the president of Paraguayan Institute of Indigenous Affairs (INDI) and the restoration of the institution’s headquarters. On October 3, it was announced that this Indigenous struggle in Paraguay had been successful. The leaders of the protests said, “Our heroic resistance has paid off.

Indigenous-Led Movement Against Austerity Gaining Momentum

October 5, 2025 Michael Fox, Truthout. Resist! Austerity, CONAIE, Daniel Noboa, Ecuador, Fuel Subsidies, Indigenous Resistance, Neoliberalism

The video is shocking. The footage is low quality, shot from above and behind the scene: A group of people run from state security forces up an empty highway at full speed. Four people are carrying a limp body. But under the fire of gunshots, tear gas and police sirens, three of the people drop the body and flee. The other man, in a blue jacket, kneels beside the body, and holds onto him. Two armored vehicles arrive, lights flashing. Two men in green fatigues, helmets and body gear jump out. They point their weapons, and begin to kick and beat the two men on the ground — one alive, though he would end up unconscious and hospitalized, one already dead. The latter’s name was Efraín Fuerez.

Thanksgiving Myths Aim to Silence Indigenous Voices

November 28, 2024 Johnnie Jae, Truthout. Educate! History, Indigenous History, Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous Resistance, National Day of Mourning, Thanksgiving

For many Americans, Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones, share a meal, watch football and express gratitude. Some Native Americans celebrate Thanksgiving this way as well, because feasting is Indigenous — we also love eating and watching football. Still, the holiday carries a much heavier weight: It is a stark reminder of the violent colonization that began with the arrival of European settlers. The idyllic myths surrounding Thanksgiving align with broader strategies of historical revisionism used to justify settler colonialism by distorting and erasing histories of violence, exploitation and resistance.

Unthanksgiving Day: A Celebration Of Indigenous Resistance To Colonialism

Each year on the fourth Thursday of November, when many people start to take stock of the marathon day of cooking ahead, Indigenous people from diverse tribes and nations gather at sunrise in San Francisco Bay. Their gathering is meant to mark a different occasion – the Indigenous People’s Thanksgiving Sunrise Ceremony, an annual celebration that spotlights 500 years of Native resistance to colonialism in what was dubbed the “New World.” Held on the traditional lands of the Ohlone people, the gathering is a call for remembrance and for future action for Indigenous people and their allies.

Indigenous Solidarity With Palestine

October 27, 2023 The Red Nation. Resist! Gaza, Genocide, Indigenous Resistance, International Solidarity, Palestine

The past two weeks of horrific violence in Gaza resulted from 75 years of Israeli settler colonial dispossession, 56 years of military occupation, and 16 years of an open-air prison for 2.2 million people, half of whom are children. The atrocities of the Israeli apartheid regime in Palestine are relentless, illegal under international law, and consistent with settler-colonial projects globally. It has been heartbreaking and unsurprising to see the colonial powers in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe line up behind this genocide. Israeli settler colonialism, apartheid, and occupation are only possible because of international support.

Indigenous Resistance, From Wounded Knee To Standing Rock

October 10, 2023 David Barsamian, The Progressive. Strategize! American Indian Movement, Indigenous Resistance, Indigenous Rights, Red PowerMovement

On February 27, there was a fiftieth-anniversary commemoration with three days of powwows, dance competitions, and an oral history project . . . documenting the role of American Indian women and their leadership within the Red Power movement. In many ways, it does resonate today because you have the children of the Red Power movement who are leading today’s movement. Whether it’s the protest at Standing Rock, [the] Line 3 [oil pipeline], or the attempts to get the Black Hills, or Paha Sapa, back to the Lakota Nation, these are all generational struggles. In many ways, the Red Power movement and the legacy of Wounded Knee just continued.

Indigenous Resistance Challenges Ontario’s ‘Mining Boom’

August 8, 2023 Owen Schalk, Canadian Dimension. Resist! Canada, Indigenous Resistance, Indigenous Sovereignty, Lithium, Mining

As Canada’s governments hungrily scour domestic and foreign territory in search of critical minerals—an essential part of Ottawa’s new Cold War on China—Ontario Premier Doug Ford is attempting to spin demand into a provincial mining boom. Ontario’s first-ever Critical Minerals Strategy (CMS), announced alongside a federal initiative of the same name, proclaims that the province is “incredibly fortunate” and “blessed with exquisite deposits of nickel, lithium, platinum, cobalt and dozens of other strategically important raw materials.” Ford’s economic policies are catering to mining companies that yearn for unfettered access to these resource supplies, even as Indigenous communities organize to resist the extractivist bonanza.

National Strike In Ecuador Completes 15 Days, Struggle Continues

Monday, June 27 marked 15 days since the beginning of the national strike in Ecuador against the right-wing government of President Guillermo Lasso and his neoliberal economic policies. Since June 13, hundreds of thousands of people have been organizing protests and roadblocks across the country with a set of 10 demands that support the working class in the face of rising inflation and cost of living. On Monday, under the banner of “There are 10 demands, not 10 cents”, members of various peasant, Indigenous and Afro-descendant organizations held a massive march in capital Quito to mark 15 days of the national strike and reinforce their social demands. The demands include: reduction and freeze of fuel prices; employment opportunities and labor guarantees...

Omkoi People File Lawsuit To Revoke Environmental Impact Assessment

April 9, 2022 EarthRights International. Resist! Coal Mining, Environment, Indigenous Resistance, Thailand

Chiang Mai, Thailand – Fifty representatives of the residents of Omkoi filed a lawsuit at the Chiang Mai Administrative Court against the Expert Committee on EIA Consideration in the mining and extracting industry as the first defendant, and the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning as the second defendant. The lawsuit aims to ensure that the flawed environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the Omkoi coal mine project developed by the 99 Thuwanon Company is revoked. If implemented, the coal mine project will cause long-term health impacts and loss of livelihoods of the Omkoi residents. The lawsuit specifically challenges the coal mine’s EIA and aims to ensure that the flawed EIA is revoked, and a new assessment is conducted in a transparent manner and with meaningful participation from the affected communities.

Minneapolis, Minnesota - The American Indian Movement’s Grand Governing Council (AIMGGC) announced on Tuesday that it’s organizing a freedom walk for Leonard Peltier later this year, from September 1 through November 14, 2022. “Leonard Peltier’s Walk to Justice” will start in Minneapolis and end in Washington, D.C., where organizers plan to meet with government officials to demand the release of Peltier from the U.S. federal prison system. “The vision and prayer for this walk—Leonard Peltier’s Walk to Justice—began almost two years ago through dreams,” said American Indian Movement of Indiana and Kentucky Chapter Director Rachel Thunder to Native News Online. “We, AIMGGC, knew we had to move in a big way to see Elder Leonard Peltier released.”

Wet’suwet’en Resistance And Solidarity: Evicting The Colonizers

December 19, 2021 YintahAccess.com. Resist! Canada, Fossil Fuels, Indigenous Resistance, Wet’suwet’en

One month ago today, the RCMP violently raided unceded Gidimt’en territory (November 18-19, 2021), removing Indigenous people from their land at gunpoint on behalf of TC Energy’s proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline. The Wet’suwet’en enforced our standing eviction of CGL by closing roads into the territory November 14-17. Following the raids, arrestees received cruel and violent treatment in prison. The conditions set forth by the court are human rights violations to Indigenous peoples. We’re still here. We’re still throwing down. We are more determined than ever to protect our traditional territories for future generations. In September 2021, Gidimt’en Checkpoint reoccupied Lhudis Bin territory, building a clan cabin on the drill pad site where Coastal GasLink pipeline wants to drill underneath our sacred headwaters, Wedzin Kwa.
