This is an essential opportunity for researchers to learn about the rights of #FirstNations communities to own, control, access, and possess information about their peoples, which is fundamentally tied to self-determination and to the preservation and development of culture.

Please share with your friends and colleagues you think would be interested!

"For many Native Hawaiians, the ruins of Lahaina are a harbinger of what’s to come if Hawaiʻi continues to follow the capitalist system under US occupation."

Excellent overview of what is happening in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement especially right now in light of Lahaina.

In Panama, an Indigenous kingdom fights for its right to the forest

CHANGUINOLA, Panama — Long before the Naso peoples in the northern jungles of Panama won the fight for their land, before a king came from far away to lead them against the invaders and cattle ranchers, the bureaucrats and corporations who wanted the territory to themselves — long before all of that, the Naso people lived on the Caribbean coast battling enemy tribes and Spanish colonists.

Amid Continued #Sovereignty Campaign, #Wabanaki REACH Creates Play as Part of Truth-Telling Project

Evan Popp, Maine Beacon
Thu, August 31, 2023

"As part of a truth-telling initiative that seeks to illuminate the issue of land claims and the 1980 #SettlementAct as well as celebrate the resilience of #Indigenous communities, the group #WabanakiREACH has partnered with a #Maine-based #theater organization to create a play developed by and for #Wabanaki people.

"The play, titled where the river widens, is an original, community-developed production and is being put on in partnership with #ThreadbareTheatreWorkshop, a group located on the Blue Hill peninsula. The work is the first public offering based on a project in which Wabanaki REACH — an organization supporting Indigenous self-determination through education and other restorative practices — spent a year gathering more than 40 oral history interviews from Wabanaki people and those in Maine about Maine Indian land claims and the 1980 Settlement Act.

"As Beacon previously reported, Wabanaki tribes have long argued that the Settlement Act has stifled tribes’ economic development and allowed the state to treat sovereign Indigenous nations as municipalities, creating a paternalistic and unfair relationship that no other federally-recognized tribe is subject to. Given that, the Wabanaki have created a grassroots movement in the last couple years behind reforming the Settlement Act to recognize the tribes’ inherent sovereignty, but opposition from Gov. #JanetMills has stymied such efforts despite broad support for change from the public.

"Earlier this year, tribal leaders also attempted to pass a bill to ensure that the Wabanaki would have access to most federal laws that benefit Indigenous tribes around the country. Proponents of that legislation noted that because of the Settlement Act, any federal law enacted after 1980 for the benefit of tribes across the U.S. that impacts the application of Maine law doesn’t apply to the Wabanaki unless they are specifically included in the measure by Congress. However, Mills in June vetoed the measure pushed by tribal leaders to rectify that situation.

"Given the power of the stories Wabanaki REACH was able to collect on the subject, Maria Girouard, the group’s executive director, said the organization felt it was important to share those experiences with a wider audience via theater.

“We were so moved by the stories we gathered, it was a natural next step to talk about theater as a way of continuing to move the conversation from the head to the heart, to reach more people, and to gather in community,” Girouard said.

"The play is set outdoors along the #PenobscotRiver, which itself has been the subject of land claim disputes and issues related to tribal sovereignty. It stitches together music, song, dance and the interviews from Beyond the Claims: Stories from the Land & the Heart — the name of the Wabanaki REACH truth-telling initiative.

"A news release about where the river widens also describes it as a 'poetic, spare, lyrical movement through stories, place, and time” and a thought-provoking play that “not only illuminates a complex and tumultuous era, but celebrates the beauty, creativity, and resilience of Wabanaki people.'

"#Threadbare said they are excited to be working with Wabanaki REACH on the play, which features #LilahAkins, #EstherAnne, #NickBear, #WolatqinBear, #AndreaFrancis, #MariaGirouard, #DaleLolar, #GeorgeLoring, #MargoLukens, #JoshuaMcCarey, and #ErlenePaul as co-creators and performers.

"'Threadbare’s way of co-creating, not only with community members but inspired by them, aligns so beautifully with Wabanaki REACH’s values of connection and joy,' said Kate Russell, artistic director of Threadbare Theatre Workshop. 'I am grateful for the generous folks who have come together this summer to create and perform this play — they are brilliant.'

"There will be two public performances of the hour-long play on Indian Island on Sept. 16 and Sept. 17 at 5 p.m. With space limited, those who want to attend must register ahead of time to reserve seats by visiting wabanakireach.org."

After Protest by India, China Asks Not to 'Over-Interpret' Map, Calls it 'Exercise of Sovereignty'

The furore in India had been over the fact that China's new map has continued to show the whole of Arunachal Pradesh and the Aksai Chin region as part of its territory.

"Haaland v. Brackeen stands as a significant milestone in upholding the constitutionality of ICWA [Indian Child Welfare Act] and safeguarding the rights of Native American families and tribal sovereignty. The Supreme Court’s decision reinforced the legal principle that Native American tribes are sovereign nations entitled to self-governance and protection of their children and families."

Sedition law is not gone, it’s set to be more draconian

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, brought to replace the colonial-era Indian Penal Code, could make the current sedition law wider but without the safeguards that courts have created so far.

The effects of colonial #imperialism continue to this day, resulting in injustice, hardship and violence inflicted on many people. In upholding democratic principles and #HumanRights, it is imperative to respect the #independence and #sovereignty of each nation.

🕵️‍♂️ Let’s talk about data sovereignty!

Despite risks, we rely on hyperscalers like Microsoft or Google. But there are good news: A Sovereign Workplace – an open & free alternative – is coming, driven by a group of open source software vendors.

Biden is giving a speech on the heat and storms and carbon pollution that is killing us. The #ClimateEmergency.

Here's what we need our President to be saying. @whcos, @POTUS, @WhiteHouse, feel free to take notes.

@sozialwelten um das noch mal hier zu schreiben. Wir sprechen eigentlich ueber alle #OSI Modell Layer. Im Falle von #Unterseekabeln eben ueber OSI Layer 1, also dem elementarsten Teil. Im Prinzip gibt es aber Kaempfe ueber alle Layer hinweg und ueber Kontrolle bzw. Machtverteilung.

Wir hatten das Thema #Patente bei der #Eigentum Diskussion und wie #China inzwischen auch eigenes #IntellectualProperty schuetzen will. Bei der Kontrolle der Internet Backbones geht es auch um #Sovereignty. Die USA sind nicht bekannt dafuer eine multipolare Welt zu favorisieren oder akzeptieren zu wollen.

Was also passieren kann ist das mehrere Netze entstehen und diese dann vielleicht ueber #Knotenpunkte wie zb. dem #DECIX in #Frankfurt miteinander verbunden werden, um so auch eine #Kontrolle ueber die #Verbindungen zu haben.

Heute wird alles ueber #BGP und die #ASN Vergabe und darauf dann die #RIPE #IpAdressen Vergabe geregelt.
