Today in Labor History August 28, 1990: New York state police closed all roads to the St. Regis Mohawk reservation to prevent Mohawks from crossing the international border during a protest to defend Mohawk land from private development of a golf course. On March 11, 1990, members of the Mohawk community erected a barricade blocking access to the dirt side road between Route 344 and "The Pines". After ignoring 2 court injunctions ordering them to remove the barricades, the police intervened, deploying tear gas and concussion grenades, and opening fire on the Mohawks. After a 15-minute gun battle, the police retreated, abandoning six cruisers and a bulldozer, which the Mohawks seized. The conflict lasted from 7/11-9/26/1990, with 2,500 non-local activists and warriors supporting 600 local Mohawks against an army of 4,500 soldiers and 2,000 police. One person was killed on each side. After 26 days of siege without supplies being let through, the land defenders ended the struggle. However, the cops and military continued to attack them after they began to leave, including a 14-year-old, who was bayoneted near the heart, and who almost died from his wound. But the golf course expansion was halted.

Forest Protectors Arrested at Fairy Creek

Arrested at

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023

"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are 's C-IRG, the Community Response Group.

"Mourning the invasion of the squad who arrested the , who were his guests, Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'

"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of -led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force , , , and through unceded , without consent. This is just another extension of the ’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce . They do not keep us safe, they protect ."

Background: Back to Fairy Creek

"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of in . Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as sought to halt the logging of rare .

"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.

"Until now.

"A new blockade, led by and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."

The Tyee - How to Meet the Demand for First Nations’ Language Programs | The Tyee

Important story on barriers to . When generations have been violently denied the right to speak their languages and been colonised, it is unsurprising that fluent are hard to find. It was by design.

'Across British Columbia, 34 First Nation languages are spoken. But <10% of the 1600 public schools offer a First Nations language course or program, and only a select few students have access.'

Amazing story about a deep sea octopus nursery off Vancouver Island in Hesquiat Territory.
““It's a beautiful deep-sea octopus, very charismatic, purple, big black eyes,” said Du Preez. “[They] sit on their eggs, don't move, don't eat and just defend the eggs for a minimum of four and a half years.””

Then, like Salmon, they die.
