Emergency Court Action Sought As Drilling Begins In Sacred Black Hills

May 4, 2026 John Ahni Schertow, Intercontinental Cry. , , , ,
Tribal advocates have asked a federal court to immediately halt a graphite drilling project at Pe’ Sla, a site sacred to the Lakota and other Indigenous nations, warning that ongoing activity risks irreparable cultural and environmental harm. Plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit against the U.S. Forest Service filed motions this week seeking an emergency temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction after learning that drilling has already begun within the contested area. The filings, submitted in U.S. District Court in South Dakota, argue that at least two active drill pads are operating at Pe’ Sla, a site long used for ceremony, prayer and cultural practices.

Trump’s Plan To Reopen Alcatraz Prison Is Inhumane

Morning Star Gali grew up going to Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Thanksgiving sunrise gatherings on Alcatraz Island to pay homage to the site as a symbol of Native American survival and resistance. Participants would board boats to the island, just offshore from San Francisco, as early as 4 a.m., form a circle of up to 5,000 people, open with land acknowledgment from Ohlone leaders, and celebrate with traditional songs, dancing, and solidarity statements from speakers around the world. But from 1934 to 1963, Alcatraz was the site of a notorious federal maximum security prison known for isolation and punishment.
