“It is illegal, immoral, and wrong for the government to take away our sacred land and give it to a foreign-owned mining corporation for destruction,” said Dr. Wendsler Nosie, Sr. of Apache Stronghold. (Source: @nativenews_net)

Today is #WorldOceanDay 🌊

The ocean is such an important part of the Earth which is why it is important to honor the sea! It connects us and all living things to so many aspects of our livelihoods.

Make sure to follow these accounts who are working to protect different aspect of our oceans and the living creatures (like salmon!) that depend on these waters:

Why is the Indian Child Welfare Act, known to some as ICWA, so crucial for protecting Native children and communities? And why does Big Oil want the Supreme Court to dismantle ICWA?

With the Supreme Court set to make a decision on the law’s constitutionality any day now, we must stand up for Indigenous communities, Tribal rights and the well-being of Native children.

Learn more from @RezDogsFX stars Devery Jacobs (Kanien’kehá:ka), Sarah Podemski (Anishinaabe/Ashkenazi) and Jana Schmieding (Cheyenne River Lakota), also of “Rutherford Falls.”

“For the past two years, Native Organizers Alliance has worked to support the Greater Chaco Coalition in their call on the Biden administration to protect the Greater Chaco Landscape,” Judith Le Blanc of Native Organizers Alliance. “Today`s announcement to prohibit new federal oil and gas leasing in Greater #Chaco is a positive step forward. Now is the time for the federal government to respond with urgency to the acceleration of threats to our sacred places from climate change and fossil fuel extraction. We must move from consultation to fortifying our constitutional guaranteed treaty rights to the international standard of prior and informed consent from our Tribes and Native communities. President Biden’s commitment to environmental justice and Tribal sovereignty must be at the forefront of transitioning to a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.” Read the full statement at @frackoffchaco ✊🏽✊🏽

Thanks to your advocacy and the leadership of the San Carlos Apache and Apache Stronghold, and our grassroots push with allies, we fought hard and secured more time to protect Oak Flat, a sacred site to the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona.

Despite failing to consult with the San Carlos Apache Nation and the Apache Stronghold, the Biden administration was considering issuing its Final Environmental Impact Survey, which would have triggered a land transfer that included Oak Flat, to a mining company.

So we sent thousands of messages to the Biden administration and Congress, and we were heard. The timeline has been delayed. Thank you!

Let’s keep up the fight to protect Oak Flat for future generations! We must permanently protect this sacred place by continuing to push Congress to pass Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s ‘Save Oak Flat from Foreign Mining Act’.

The Indian Child Welfare Act is important legislation that has addressed centuries of genocidal attempts to destroy our cultures and languages, which included forced sterilization, forced family separation, and abusive boarding schools. The possibility of ICWA being overturned is real, which is why we are asking everyone to call on Governors to act and codify ICWA into state law.

Tap the link in our bio to send a message to your governor. If you live in one of the states that have already codified ICWA protections, you will be directed to send a thank you message. If you live in another state, you will be directed to send a letter calling for action.
