LENAPE NATION PROTECTS SACRED RIVER: DECADES-LONG ENVIRONMENTAL VICTORY 🌊
The Lenape's efforts helped lead to a 2021 ban on fracking in the Delaware River Basin and prevented the building of a dam along the river in 2002 (Indianz) .
This is what Indigenous environmental leadership looks like.
The fight:
The Delaware River is sacred to the Lenape. They've protected it for centuries. But corporate greed wanted to frack and dam it.
The Lenape refused. They organized. They fought. They WON.
Two major victories:
✊ 2021 fracking ban in Delaware River Basin
✊ 2002 dam prevented
Indigenous peoples have always been Earth's protectors.
When corporations threaten sacred waters, tribal nations stand firm. When governments ignore environmental destruction, Indigenous voices demand justice.
Support tribal environmental leadership. Protect sacred waters. Stand with Indigenous nations.

Billy Walkabout (March 31, 1949 – March 7, 2007) is thought to be the most decorated Native American soldier of the Vietnam War. He received the Distinguished Service Cross, five Silver Stars (one upgraded to a Distinguished Service Cross), ten Bronze Star Medal, five with Valor device, one Army Commendation Medals (including one valor device and two oak leaf clusters), and six Purple Hearts.
Walkabout served as an Army Ranger in Vietnam, in the Company F, 58th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division. Walkabout (then Specialist Four) distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 20 November 1968 during a long range reconnaissance patrol southwest of Hue.
After successfully ambushing an enemy squad on a jungle trail, the friendly patrol radioed for immediate helicopter extraction. When the extraction helicopters arrived and the lead man began moving toward the pick-up zone, he was seriously wounded by hostile automatic weapons fire. Sergeant Walkabout quickly rose to his feet and delivered steady suppressive fire on the attackers while other team members pulled the wounded man back to their ranks. Sergeant Walkabout then administered first aid to the soldier in preparation for medical evacuation. As the man was being loaded onto the evacuation helicopter, enemy elements again attacked the team.
Maneuvering under heavy fire, Sergeant Walkabout positioned himself where the enemy were concentrating their assault and placed continuous rifle fire on the adversary. A command-detonated mine ripped through the friendly team, instantly killing three men and wounding all the others. Although stunned and wounded by the blast, Sergeant Walkabout rushed from man to man administering first aid, bandaging one soldier’s severe chest wound and reviving another soldier by heart massage. He then coordinated gunship and tactical air strikes on the enemy’s positions. When evacuation helicopters arrived again, he worked single-handedly under fire to board his disabled comrades. Only when the casualties had been evacuated and friendly reinforcements had arrived, did he allow himself to be extracted. He retired as a second lieutenant.
He suffered from complications arising from exposure to the Agent Orange defoliant used in Vietnam. He was waiting for a kidney transplant and took dialysis three times a week. He died of pneumonia and renal failure in a hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, survived by his wife and several children from earlier marriages.

ALASKA NATIVE COMMUNITY DEVASTATED BY FLOODING: ENTIRE VILLAGE DISPLACED 🌊🚨
When flooding peaked on May 9, most of the community's nearly 80 residents had to shelter at the Hughes Tribal Hall. Spring breakup is in full swing and the danger hasn't passed for many other riverside communities in the interior of Alaska (ICT News) .
An entire Alaska Native village — 80 people — forced from their homes by flooding.
This is happening RIGHT NOW in Indian Country. While America looks away, Indigenous communities are fighting for survival.
Tribal Hall became the only shelter. Entire families displaced. Danger still not over.
The state's public assistance program focuses on restoring essential infrastructure and can be accessed by local governments, tribes, and nonprofits (ICT News) .
But assistance is slow. Communities are vulnerable. Alaska Native peoples need support NOW.
This is the climate crisis hitting Indigenous communities first and hardest.
Stand with Alaska Native communities. Demand emergency response. Support tribal flood relief.

In 1912, the King of Sweden looked at a young man from the Sac and Fox Nation of Oklahoma and said:
"Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world."
Jim Thorpe replied simply: "Thanks, King."
At the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Jim Thorpe won gold medals in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. (Cultural Survival) He also placed fourth in the high jump and seventh in the long jump — and on top of all that, played in two exhibition baseball games at the same Olympics. (NPR)
In 1950, the Associated Press voted him the greatest athlete of the half-century — he received 252 of 393 first-place votes. Babe Ruth came second. Jack Dempsey was third. (NPR)
Not the greatest Native American athlete. Not the greatest athlete of his era.
The greatest athlete of the century.
🏅 Wa-Tho-Huk. Bright Path. James Francis Thorpe.
