PRESIDIO RETURNS TO MUWEKMA OHLONE: SACRED LAND RESTORATION 🌿
The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of San Francisco Bay has sent a letter to the Trump administration asking for the government to restore the Presidio back to its tribe (CBS News) .
This is a historic moment for land justice.
The Presidio's true history:
The Muwekma Ohlone lived on this sacred land for thousands of years. Then it was taken. Military occupation. Federal control. Indigenous peoples erased.
Now the Muwekma Ohlone are reclaiming what's theirs.
Why this matters:
🌍 Sacred ancestral lands returned to Indigenous peoples
🌍 Tribal sovereignty and self-determination
🌍 Healing from centuries of displacement
🌍 Environmental stewardship by Indigenous leaders
🌍 Justice for the Original Peoples
The Muwekma Ohlone never stopped fighting. They never stopped believing.
Now they're demanding the return of the Presidioβ€”a symbol of resistance, resilience, and Indigenous power.
This is what land restoration looks like. This is tribal justice.
Support the Muwekma Ohlone. Demand return of tribal lands. Stand with Indigenous peoples.

Lakota youth have halted drilling near Pe’ Sla in the Black Hills, South Dakota by locking themselves to equipment as legal challenges continue.

The action follows the U.S. Forest Service’s February 27 permit approval allowing exploratory drilling within a two-mile buffer zone surrounding Pe’ Sla, a site used for ceremony and cultural practices by Oceti Sakowin nations for generations.

Drilling operations include up to 18 drill pads reaching depths of 1,000 feet.

Nine tribes and advocacy groups have filed lawsuits and emergency motions against the U.S. Forest Service over the approved graphite drilling project.

Today, the Pe’ Sla Protector Camp is inviting supporters to participate in ceremony. Protocols have been shared via NDNCollective.

Whose Land Is This Really? 🏞️
Every mountain. Every river. Every sacred site.
Native American nations knew this land firstβ€”lived on it, protected it, honored it for thousands of years. Then it was taken.
Broken treaties. Forced relocations. Stolen futures.
Today, the question echoes across the country from tribal leaders and Indigenous communities:
Should the stolen lands be returned?
This isn't just historyβ€”it's happening NOW. Indigenous peoples are still fighting for:
🌿 Sacred sites protection
🌿 Tribal sovereignty & self-rule
🌿 Justice & accountability
🌿 A future on ancestral lands
The answer matters. Your voice matters.

πŸ’Œ To our precious daughter
From the moment we felt your presence, our world softened, slowed, and became sacred. And now, as we hold you in our arms, we understand that you are more than a child… you are a prayer answered, a spirit sent with purpose, a light entrusted to our care.

You came to us wrapped in silence and wonder, carrying a wisdom older than words. Your breath is gentle, yet it echoes through our souls like a sacred song. In your tiny hands, you hold the future. In your eyes, we see truth, purity, and the reflection of something divine.

We promise to walk beside you, not ahead of you… to guide you, but never dim your spirit. We will teach you the strength of your roots, the beauty of your voice, and the power of your heart. May you always feel the whispers of the earth, the protection of your ancestors, and the love that surrounds you from all directions.

You are our daughter, our blessing, our miracle.
And in this life, and beyond, we are forever grateful that your soul chose ours.

Welcome to this world, little one. ❀️

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has successfully acquired a 1.24-million-square-foot warehouse previously under consideration for potential ICE detention use. The purchase removes the former Big Lots property from potential federal utilization as a large-scale detention facility. Based on comparable conversions, a facility of this magnitude could have accommodated approximately 8,500 detainees. Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton noted that the acquisition aligns with plans for operational growth near the Nation's headquarters. Following concerns raised by local officials and community members regarding the proposal, the city passed legislation restricting property sales to ICE. This purchase signifies the second instance in recent months where plans for an ICE detention site in Oklahoma have been halted or redirected.
