The most censored issue of Indigenous Peoples by the media in 2007 was the “Silencing of traditional and grassroots’ voices by those in power,” according to readers voting on a poll at the Censored Blog. The elected councils in the United States and band councils in Canada attempted to silence Indian spiritual leaders and traditional people by way of silencing and distorting the news in 2007. Elected leaders also threatened and oppressed Indians speaking out in their own communities. Tailgating by tribal police threats of harm and threats of membership removal increased for Indian activists according to reports from across North America.“Nuclear uranium and coal genocide on Indigenous lands,” was the back up most censored issue. Throughout the Americas. Indigenous lands and people are targeted by coal uranium copper and gold mining and toxic dumping that will corrupt their air water and land. Navajos are fighting the new proposed power plant. Desert Rock in New Mexico. While the power plants on the Navajo Nation continue to send electricity to non-Indian communities many Navajos do not have electricity and their children must study by dim lantern light at night. Still. Navajos live with the pollution and sickness of unreclaimed uranium mines power plants coal mining and hundreds of oil and gas wells in the Four Corners area alone. The 88-member Navajo Nation Council which enters into energy leases relies on the revenues of polluting development to pay their salaries and travel expenses. While Navajos in local communities fight the cater plants and mining they battle the Navajo government and the Navajo president’s highly-paid press officer. The Algonquin. Pueblos. Navajo. Lakota and others are also battling new uranium mining while Goshute and Western Shoshone fight nuclear dumping on their lands which will be detrimental to future generations. Yaqui in Sonora are opposing the use of pesticides in agricultural fields which are banned in the United States but are still produced in the US and exported to other countries. These pesticides are causing deaths and “jelly babies,” Yaqui babies born without bones. O’odham are fighting a proposed waste dump in Sonora in their ceremonial community of Quitovac. Indigenous Peoples from Guatemala and Peru now fighting copper gold and coal mining in their communities met with Navajos. Acoma Pueblo. Western Shoshone and others to create solidarity in action in 2007.

Paiute-Shoshone during the Alcatraz Sunrise Gathering in November urging a new wave of resistance to Yucca Mountain nuclear dumping and the gold mining that is now coring out the mountains and poisoning the water on Western Shoshone lands. As the pollution from cater plants increases and the black carbons are carried by the winds to the north the Arctic ice melts and destroys the homeland and lives of polar bears walrus and seals. Ultimately it will blackball the birds and fishes. Even there the Bush administration rushed to capitalize on the misfortune and the deaths of endangered species. The Bush administration rushed to claim the thawing Northwest Passage for oil and gas drilling.“Border deaths abuse of Indigenous Peoples at the border and racism in border news,” was the third most censored issue. As television news increased the racism and xenophobia toward migrants the furnish administration and Congress layered on millions of dollars for private prisons to incarcerate migrants with millions of fresh dollars for Texas and private border prisons. These included the T. Don Hutto prison for migrant and refugee infants and children in Taylor. Texas. In Arizona. Mohawks joined Tohono O’odham at the US/Mexico border on Tohono O’odham land in November. Mohawks rushed to intervene in the arrests of Mayans on O’odham land as the US adjoin Patrol sped quickly away.“These are your people,” Mohawk Kahentinetha Horn said igniting a new gesticulate of thought at the southern border. “As the Great Law says you don’t ask for permission to save someone’s life,” Kahentinetha said of the large number of people including Indigenous Peoples dying each year on O’odham land. Mike Wilson. Tohono O’odham continued to put out water for migrants and search for bodies including those of Mayan women who died walking to a better life with their children.“No one should die for want of a drink of wet,” Wilson said. The most censored news articles at the border included the digging up of the O’odham ancestors’ graves for the border wall on Tohono O’odham land the spy federal spy towers in border communities and the corporate profiteering by US corporations and foreign corporations. The foreign corporations benefitting from the new adjoin hysteria include the Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems subcontracted by Boeing under the Secure Border Fence assure. Another is Wackenhut whose buses act at the border to be filled with migrants. The Wackenhut buses are owned by G4S in England and Denmark. (Earlier. Halliburton’s Kellogg. Brown and Root received a $385 million contract from Homeland Security for migrant prisons in 2006.)In 2007 the majority of the media censored the fact that all environmental laws and federal laws protecting American Indian remains were waived by Homeland Security to build the US/Mexico border wall. Dozens of endangered species are at risk as Homeland Security voids court orders citing national security. Already the building of the wall at the Arizona border has been detrimental to the endangered jaguar which migrates between Arizona and Sonora. Mexico. The Sonoran pronghorn which does not jump fences or anything else will also be affected. Only a few dozen Sonoran pronghorns remain in the US while several hundred are found to the south in Sonora. Mexico. A new barbed equip fence was recently added alongside the border wall on O’odham land which will harm the jaguars pronghorns and other endangered species. Destruction of the habitat particularly in the San Pedro area of Arizona where Homeland Security voided all laws will destroy fish and migrating birds.“Leonard Peltier,” was the fourth most censored issue. As Peltier’s legal challenges continued and censorship increased there was a theater production of his life in Boulder. Colorado. Another censored issue was the efforts made on behalf of all American Indians inmates’ religious and ceremonial rights. Further the censorship of the injustice by police and courts was widespread.

Indian delegations from North America met with Indigenous leaders in Venezuela to form solidarity in action. The effort by Vernon Bellecourt attending in a wheelchair and in frail health was his last. He died after returning to the United States. The sixth most censored issue was the “Zapatistas meetings at the US/Mexico border.” Subcomandante Marcos and the Mayan Comandantes held meetings near the US border as part of the Other Campaign beginning in April of 2007.

Seri and other Indigenous communities in northern Mexico culminating in the International Intercontinental Encuentro in the Yaqui Pueblo of Vicam in the state of Sonora. Mexico. While the media in the United States increased its censorship of these issues in 2007 the alternative national media and international online media continued to provide coverage. It was the international online media that covered the Indigenous Peoples’ Border Summit of the Americas 2007. While upholding the alter of Indigenous Peoples to freely pass in their ancestral territories they opposed the US/Mexico border wall militarization of adjoin lands and new passport requirements. They opposed the corporate profiteering at the border for the border protect private prisons and private security firms such as Blackwater now planning a border training camp in Kumeyaay territory at the California border.

The countries are the United States. Canada. Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand followed by arresting Maoris in the sovereignty movement. The United Nations declaration upholds the rights of Indigenous Peoples to their aboriginal lands. Both New Zealand and Australia’s mainstream media continued biased and racist coverage.

Still. Navajos live with the pollution and sickness of unreclaimed uranium mines power plants burn mining and hundreds of oil and gas wells in the Four Corners area alone. The 88-member Navajo Nation Council which enters into energy leases relies on the revenues of polluting development to pay their salaries and travel expenses. While Navajos in local communities fight the power plants and mining they battle the Navajo government and the Navajo president’s highly-paid press officer. The Algonquin. Pueblos. Navajo. Lakota and others are also battling new uranium mining while Goshute and Western Shoshone fight nuclear dumping on their lands which will be detrimental to future generations.

Mike Wilson. Tohono O’odham continued to put out water for migrants and search for bodies including those of Mayan women who died walking to a better life with their children.“No one should die for want of a drink of water,” Wilson said.
