Plymouth, Massachusetts - Over 3,000 protesters occupied Cole’s Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Nov. 27 to observe the 56th National Day of Mourning (NDOM). As Mahtowin Munro (Oglala Lakota), co-leader of United American Indians of New England (UAINE) described, this year’s Day of Mourning action triumphed despite reactionary attempts at sabotage. In a flagrant violation of the agreement it made with UAINE in 1998 — after police beat, gassed and falsely arrested 25 UAINE leaders and supporters in 1997 — the Town of Plymouth refused to allow UAINE to provide a stage on Cole’s Hill unless UAINE took out extortionate insurance policies.

United American Indians of New England (UAINE) has called for the 56th National Day of Mourning in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 12 o'clock noon. Participants gathered by the statue of Massasoit on Cole's Hill above the Plymouth waterfront. Since 1970, hundreds of Native people and non-Native allies have gathered annually in Plymouth on U.S. Thanksgiving Day. According to UAINE co-leader Kisha James, who is Aquinnah Wampanoag and Oglala Lakota and the granddaughter of Wamsutta Frank James, the founder of National Day of Mourning, “Native people have no reason to celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims.

Thanksgiving: Part Of ‘Broken Circle Holiday’

November 27, 2025 LaNada War Jack, Native News Online. Educate! American genocide, History, Indigenous Sovereignty, Native Americans, Thanksgiving

Traditional American Thanksgiving acknowledges a feast shared between Pilgrims and Indigenous Native people. We know our people assisted with the early immigration process of those people arriving from Europe because they were pitiful, hungry and starving. We were kind and loving people who helped them. However, once they got a foothold, they tried to completely extinguish us, stole our lands and now we are supposed to be thankful. This runs similar to the “Redskin” mascot Issue or the “Columbus Day” celebration of genocide.

Tribes File Federal Suit Over Prosecution Of Hunting, Fishing

November 19, 2025 Native News Online. Resist! Food Security, Indigenous Sovereignty, Legal System, Oklahoma

The Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and Cherokee Nation have filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, alleging that Gov. Kevin Stitt and state officials are unlawfully prosecuting tribal citizens for hunting and fishing on tribal land. The suit, filed Monday, names Stitt; his newly appointed special prosecutor, Russ Cochran; and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) as defendants. The tribes argue that the governor does not have the authority to appoint a special prosecutor for wildlife offenses on tribal land and that his directives to ODWC violate tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 McGirt decision.

Chilkat Indian Village Tells New Palmer Mine Owners They’re ‘Not Welcome’

November 15, 2025 Native News Online. Resist! Environment, Food Security, Indigenous Sovereignty, Mining

Leaders of the Chilkat Indian Village of Klukwan and the conservation group Chilkat Forever are warning the new owners of the Palmer mine project that they will face “sustained and unyielding opposition” if they pursue hardrock mining in the Chilkat Valley. The groups said the proposed mine — recently acquired by Vizsla Copper — threatens the Jilḵáat Aani Ḵa Héeni (Chilkat Valley Watershed), a region known for its rich cultural traditions and biodiverse ecosystem, including bald eagles, salmon, moose and bears. “Whether it’s Vizsla Copper Corporation, American Pacific Mining Corporation, or another operator that owns the Palmer mining project, this industrial hardrock mining development lacks the consent of the Chilkat Indian Village - Klukwan and of many in the broader community,” said Kimberley Strong.

Appeal In Nuclear Waste Case Tests Limits Of First Nations Consent

A contentious radioactive waste disposal facility near the Ottawa River is back in court, and the outcome will set an important precedent for Indigenous Rights and consultation. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) is trying to overturn a federal court’s decision that found Kebaowek First Nation was not properly consulted on a near-surface nuclear waste disposal facility near Chalk River, Ont. This development is the latest in a long saga of court challenges and appeals since the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission greenlit the proposed facility on Jan. 9, 2024.

Mount Rushmore’s First Dedication 100 Years Later

October 3, 2025 Darren Thompson, Last Real Indians. Educate! colonization, Indigenous Sovereignty, Mount Rushmore, Sacred sites

Black Hills — 100 years ago, Mount Rushmore would have its first dedication, and one of three dedications in its first five years of construction. The Rapid City Journal reported that three thousand people joined in the dedication on October 1, 1925, and it was also reported that same evening that project’s creative director—Gutzon Borglum—had no funding to begin construction. Since it inception, perhaps the nation’s most well known monument has had problems and most of those stories haven’t involved Indigenous people. “Over the last 100 years, there has been little history at Mount Rushmore that reflects the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota people of the Black Hills,” said Darrell Red Cloud, a fifth-generation descendant of Oglala Lakota leader Chief Red Cloud who now teaches Lakota studies at Oglala Lakota College in Kyle, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

Fast Tracking A Pipeline To BC’s Coast Will Undermine Canada’s Security

July 16, 2025 Mitch Anderson, DeSmog. Educate! Big Oil, Canada, Environment, Indigenous Sovereignty, Pipelines

“Now the real work starts.” These words from Prime Minister Mark Carney marked the rapid passage of Bill C-5, which grants sweeping powers to his cabinet to fast-track infrastructure projects. While his recent meeting with Canada’s premiers was described as a love-in, the love may be short lived if certain powerful industries don’t get the pony they thought they were promised. I speak of course of the oil patch and their relentless demands for more pipelines, whether they are needed or not. The long-dead Northern Gateway proposal to B.C.’s north coast seems to be top of the fossil fuel wish list, backed up by recent comments from Carney.

Inside The Indigenous ‘Land Back’ Movement In Colombia

May 3, 2025 Lital Khaikin, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! Colombia, Indigenous Sovereignty, Land Back Movement, Putamayo

Sharing a border with Ecuador and Peru, the southern Colombian department of Putumayo takes its name from the Quechua term for “gushing river.” For some, its landscapes are a sacred doorway to the Amazon rainforest, a world unfathomably greater than the human. For others, however, this land looks more like oilfields and military bases, optimized waterflood assets and strategic trafficking corridors. This difference in worldview is at the heart of peacebuilding in Putumayo and the Indigenous struggle to reclaim ancestral territories across the Amazon basin.

US Intends To Proceed With Arizona Copper Mine, Justices Told

April 24, 2025 Crystal Owens, Law 360. Educate! Arizona, Copper Mine, Indigenous Sovereignty, Oak Flat, Sacred sites, Supreme Court

The U.S. government says there has been no doubt that it intends to proceed with a land exchange in Arizona for a planned multibillion-dollar copper mine, telling the U.S. Supreme Court that its recent notice of publication of a final environmental impact statement for the project does not constitute urgent review. There is nothing about the 60-day notice, which was filed in an Arizona federal court and published in the Federal Register on April 17, that supports claims by the Apache Stronghold that there may have been some uncertainty about the federal government's intent to move forward with the land transfer, the government told the high court in a Monday letter.

As Federal Environmental Priorities Shift, Native American Nations Plan

March 31, 2025 Alyssa Kreikemeier, Resilience. Create! Environment, Indigenous Sovereignty, Native Americans, Water

Long before the large-scale Earth Day protests on April 22, 1970 – often credited with spurring significant environmental protection legislation – Native Americans stewarded the environment. As sovereign nations, Native Americans have been able to protect land, water and air, including well beyond their own boundaries. Their actions laid the groundwork for modern federal law and policy, including national legislation aimed at reducing pollution. Now the Trump administration is seeking to weaken some of those limits and eliminate programs aimed at improving the environments in which marginalized people live and work.

Cordova, AK –Last week, NDN Collective through our community development arm, NDN Holdings, finalized a LANDBACK deal with the Eyak Community Land Trust in Alaska and transferred title to two acres of land back to the Eyak people. In October 2021, NDN Collective was made aware of an opportunity to purchase land along Eyak Lake on the southern coast of the state. NDN Holdings purchased the land and began working with the Eyak community to transfer ownership. As of this week, the two acre property will now be wholly owned by Eyak Community Land Trust, which was established in collaboration with Native Conservancy, and be used by the community to host cultural and ecological education workshops.

As Indigenous Peoples, organizers, and as an organization, we have been clear about the threats we face. Our Peoples are on the frontlines confronted with the worst aspects of American politics and identity; white supremacy, settler colonialism, resource exploitation, environmental destruction, forced assimilation, political violence, and an ongoing genocide. This is why at NDN Collective we will always stay committed to Defend, Develop, and Decolonize. Protecting rights, building collective power, and organizing for systemic change is our pathway to liberation.

Navajo Nation: We Will Block Your Trucks

On July 30, 2024, mining company Energy Fuel Resources smuggled two trucks carrying uranium ore across the Navajo border and through Navajo land. Navajo President Buu Nygren attempted to stop these trucks with the Navajo Police Force, but the fugitives ultimately escaped. Tribal members in the area are protesting and demanding the mine be shut down. The Navajo, Havasupai, and Ute Nations are being poisoned. Toxic uranium saturates their land, drinking water, and homes. Southwestern indigenous tribes lived on top of uranium deposits for centuries without issue. They called it leetso, or “yellow dirt.” Cancer rates in this area were so low that some believed the Navajo were immune.

On July 11th, 2024, the Apache Stronghold started the journey of prayer to the Supreme Court to stop the shattering of human existence and to protect Mother Earth. We have traveled, held ceremonies and gathered prayers from Tribes, Communities, Churches, and people in support of saving Oak Flat and religious freedom and protections for all. We began in the Northwest, Westcoast, South, mid-west to the East to gather in Washington DC at the Supreme court on September 11. We are appealing a lower court ruling that would have allowed the total destruction of Oak Flat by allowing the land to be transferred to Resolution Copper, a foreign owned company, owned by BHP and Rio Tinto.
