Ya’a’teh,
This short video was made during a recent visit to the month-long occupation protecting Sogorea Te, also known as Glen Cove, just outside of the Bay Area in California. There has been work for over 10 years to protect this sacred place. This short video was shot and editing completely on a hand-held device.
Please spread the word and support this powerful struggle.
– Klee Benally

    Aloha,

    We too are having problems with desceration of our burials and have been for sometime. Our problems worsened as we connected to our native brothers and sisters. I believe it is important that we stay connected as native peoples and continue to disagree with the anglos and their destruction of sacred grounds. Our problem in Hawaii are our own people. Our people give permission to descecrate their mom’s and dad’s..just thought I would share this. These so called natives are disguised as Hawaiians when they are fully assimulated into the American conditioning.

Indigenous Action Podcast Episode 17: Decolonization isn’t a Holiday
/

Hosts Klee and Bonn talk with some awesome guests & revisit our 2017 ‘zine “Uprooting Colonialism: The Limitations of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.” We dig into the questions, “How do whitewashed celebrations of Indigenous Peoples Day undermine decolonization?” and “What does it mean to be an anti-colonial abolitionist?”

Guests:

Amrah Salomón J. is a writer, artist, activist, and educator of Mexican, O’odham and Tohono O’odham, and European ancestry.

From the 2017 ‘zine: “…if the state dismantles these statues and proclaims Indigenous Peoples’ Days, what do we actually achieve if the structures and systems rooted in colonial violence remain intact? Is it merely political posturing or window dressing to diminish liberatory agitations? Our senses are heightened as most re-brandings of Columbus Day into IPD appear to whitewash ongoing colonial legacies… If the goal is for Indigenous autonomy, liberation of the land, people, and other beings, then why plead with our oppressors to merely acknowledge or recognize our existence?…To claim Indigenous Peoples’ Day as an act of decolonization is a failure of liberal assimilationists… Symbolically ending Columbus’ legacy while continuing to perpetuate and benefit from the violence of the ‘doctrine of discovery’ is just one more dead-end direction of Indigenous liberalism. If we understand that colonization has always been war, then why are we fighting a battle for recognition and affirmation through colonial power structures?… Indigenous Peoples’ Day, as a process of collusion with occupying state forces, risks becoming a colonial patriotic ritual more than anything that amounts to liberation.”
