On this Indigenous Peoples Day, working hard to prepare for the 30th anniversary of the House Of Welcome Longhouse celebration. Lots of moving parts. Hoping giveaway is more organized. Meal is salmon, Makah potatoes, Huckleberry salad, bison lumping and grilled deer kabobs.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day has never been just a celebration. It is a call to action against the ongoing assault on our sovereignty and existence.

Native Survival Depends on Protecting Both Tribal and US Citizenship Rights

Trump’s attacks on Native sovereignty and citizenship are a deliberate effort to undermine the rights of tribal nations.

"The absurdity of adults dancing in inflatable costumes during anti-ICE demonstrations is meant to display community joy, protesters say, and helps to dispel the Trump administration’s narrative that Portland is a crime-ridden “war zone”"

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

#ICE #Portland

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

This morning, Rapid Response Teams verified the presence of federal agents at multiple locations on the north side of Chicago including Rogers Park, West Ridge North Park, Edgewater, Uptown, Lakeview and in Evanston, IL. Multiple people have been detained. This is an ongoing operation.

A win in Illinois, at least for now. Let's hope judicial pushback on Trump's plans continues...

"A judge in Chicago on Thursday issued a temporary restraining order blocking the deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois"

Judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to Chicago

The judge said the administration's directives violate the Constitution and would “only add fuel to the fire that the defendants themselves have started."

Urge your elected officials to stand up against ICE

ICE is terrorizing our community. From abducting immigrants and subjecting them to inhumane conditions to brutalizing protesters for exercising their First Amendment rights, it is time to hold ICE accountable.

"The U.S. Indian boarding school system sought to erase Native identity by forcibly removing children from their homes, languages, and cultures. Many endured neglect, abuse, and deep loss; thousands never made it back to their families."
