#oyate

“Oyate” elevates the voices of Indigenous activists, organizers, and politicians offering our perspectives on our complicated history and present-day circumstances, contextualizing the movement to stop the Dakota Access pipeline, and illuminating the interconnectivity among the issues facing Indigenous People today. It features excellent music, tells some of our personal stories, and delves deeply into our movement for Native and environmental justice.

So apparently

Mark Ruffalo (and/or staff) is on Tumblr

he's involved with a new documentary on the Lakota people and the Black Hills (South Dakota, US)

there's a trailer - unfortunately the audio track is static so

here's the full trailer with audio

I'm so happy to announce that #LakotaNationVsUnitedStates will be in theaters July 14! It's been an honor to work alongside the Lakota people, Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli, and the rest of our talented creative team to bring this story to the screen. Please check out the official trailer for the film which showcases the Lakota Nation's fight to reclaim the Black Hills.

There are reports that Kristi Noem has been banned by the Sisseton-Wahpeton tribal council from setting foot on their tribal land in northeastern South Dakota. That would be the fifth Native American tribe in the state to do so.

Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Restricts Governor Kristi Noem’s Access

In a unanimous decision, the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribal Council has passed a resolution restricting South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem's access to their trust lands.  [ ... ] [T]he Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate has decided to stand with the tribal nations in South Dakota by restricting and banning Governor Kristi Noem's access to the Trust Lands of the Lake Traverse Reservation until Governor Noem issues a formal and public apology. The apology must acknowledge the grievance caused by her actions and statements towards the parents of tribal children, the education provided to tribal children, and the undermining of the Tribal Council's efforts to combat the drug epidemic.

Almost forgot: Reproductive freedom will probably be on the ballot in South Dakota this year.

South Dakota abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measure

It may be spring in South Dakota but winter is coming for Kristi Noem and her incessant efforts to kowtow to Donald Trump.

[ID: Stills with captions from the documentary Oyate. In the first two, a woman looks up and speaks as a man looks down, his eyes closed. Text reads "80% of the world's remaining biodiversity is in Indigenous communities." As the woman continues to speak, the next eight frames are the view through the underside of a low bridge over a river, then moving over that water and an island or peninsula in it, as the sun rises or sets to one side. Text reads "And that biodiversity is the lifeline of the world as we know it. Those places and those ecosystems are being taken care of and protected by Indigenous nations whose rights are being infringed upon every waking minute. When our law and order--"

The next three stills show a child with short hair wearing a turkey feather bustle, seen from behind. Text continues "-- doesn't protect my child's right to clean drinking water, doesn't protect people, --"

The next three stills after that show a different group of children in more elaborate attire and regalia: colorful beads and fringed dresses, shawls, headband, vests, and boots. They are dancing, moving around each other. Text continues "-- doesn't protect Mother Earth, when our version of law and order only protects capital and property, --"

The final still shows a factory covering most of a piece of land that either juts out into a body of water or is between two rivers. Smoke stacks rise along one edge of the factory and a loose web of electrical wires crisscross the midground between poles and towers. Text concludes "-- then that law and order deserves to be challenged." /end ID]

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) is now banned from all tribal lands in the state after the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe voted to bar her from their reservation Wednesday, citing her repeated claims that tribal leaders work with drug cartels.

Noem sparked the controversy in March when she said tribal leaders benefit from the presence of cartels operating on their land.

“We’ve got some tribal leaders that I believe are personally benefiting from the cartels being there, and that’s why they attack me every day,” the governor said at a forum in March. “But I’m going to fight for the people who actually live in those situations, who call me and text me every day and say, ‘Please, dear governor, please come help us in Pine Ridge. We are scared.’”

Born 6-4-24.

““The birth of this calf is both a blessing and warning. We must do more,” said Chief Arvol Looking Horse, the spiritual leader of the Lakota, Dakota and the Nakota Oyate in South Dakota, according to AP, referring to looking after nature and the environment.”

Seven Sacred Rites of the Lakota Sioux

The Seven Sacred Rites of the Lakota Sioux (Seven Sacred Rites of the Lakota Oyate) are the spiritual observances of the Native American Sioux nation that maintain their relationship with the Great Mystery/Great Spirit Wakan Tanka, the creative and unifying Higher Power of the Universe. The rites are central to the religious beliefs of the Sioux.

But before we get started today, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the traditional caretakers of this land, the Caddo, the Osage, and the Muscogee, of course. But before them were our Neanderthal relatives, so acknowledge them. And before that, even, the Dinosaur Nation, Dinosaur Oyate, you know? Before that, the Star People. Also, our reptilian relatives, above and below earth.
