WE SHALL OVERCOME
by Al Swilling, SENAA International - 28 AUG 2023

 On 28 August 1963, I was 12 years old. When I awoke that morning, I had no idea that my life, my outlook on life, and my approach to life would be molded, changed, and decided that day....

US Approves Chicken Made from Cultivated Cells, the Nation's First 'Lab-grown' Meat

by Jonel Aleccia & Laura Ungar; Associated Press -- Cherokee Phoenix -- 23 JUN 2023

For the first time, U.S. regulators on Wednesday approved the sale of chicken made from animal cells, allowing two California companies to offer “lab-grown” meat to the nation's restaurant tables and eventually, supermarket shelves.

The Agriculture Department gave the green light to Upside Foods and Good Meat, firms that had been racing to be the first in the U.S. to sell meat that doesn't come from slaughtered animals — what's now being referred to as “cell-cultivated" or “cultured” meat as it emerges from the laboratory and arrives on dinner plates....

Native American Water Protectors Assaulted During Enbridge Lecture at Northern Michigan College

by Sierra Clark, Contributing Writer -- Native News Online -- 29 JUN 2023

PETOSKEY, Mich.—A public lecture featuring transnational pipeline and energy company Enbridge last week escalated to the assault of an Anishinaabe water protector and allies protesting the controversial Line 5 project.

The event, hosted by North Central Michigan College (NCMC) in Petoskey on June 22, featured an Enbridge representative speaking about the Great Lakes Tunnel Project that would house a section of Line 5 under the Straits of Mackinac....

Three videos obtained by Native News Online show protesters being shoved around and grabbed by the shirt collars as they tried to unfurl an “Enbridge Out! No Line 5” banner.

In one video, NCMC President David Roland Finley is seen struggling with a protester as he tries to rip the banner away from the protester's hands....

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday it will be dedicating new resources to address the Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) crisis.

Under a new Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Regional Outreach Program, the DOJ will permanently place ten attorneys and coordinators in five regions across the United States to assist in the investigation of unsolved MMIP cases and related crimes while promoting collaboration among federal, Tribal, local and state law enforcement as well as non-governmental stakeholders.

Arizona Must Stop the $400B Giveaway of Groundwater to the World’s Largest Foreign Based Mining Companies

Opinion
by San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman Terry Rambler -- 29 JUN 2023

Opinion. A stunning loophole in Arizona’s water laws has left the state powerless to address a groundwater crisis rapidly unfolding in the Phoenix metropolitan region.

To pass the seminal Groundwater Management Act of 1980, state politicians exempted the powerful mining industry from restrictions on how much water mines can pump. That decision is now colliding with the stark reality that Arizona is facing an economically devastating deficit in groundwater supplies.

The 1980 law allows mines to pump unlimited groundwater without paying the state a dime. Based on current water prices, Arizona is poised to give away $400 billion worth of diminishing groundwater to the two largest foreign-owned mining companies in the world that plan to construct the Resolution Copper Mine 70 miles east of Phoenix....

U.S. Supreme Court Strikes Down Affirmative Action: Native American Education Organizations React

by Levi Rickert -- Native News Online -- 30 JUN 2023

In a historic ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday decided colleges and universities cannot use race for consideration for admissions.

The ruling struck down affirmative action in public higher education institutions. In Thursday’s decision, the court ruled on admission practices at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.

Using the 14th Amendment as the basis of his argument, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the two universities' programs “violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment," in his 6-3 majority opinion on both cases: Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard, and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina....

The Supreme Court Leaves Indian Child Welfare Act Intact

by Nina Totenberg, Meghanlata Gupta - NPR - 15 JUN 2023
Heard on "All Things Considered"


In a major victory for Native American rights, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld key provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act, a law enacted 45 years ago to remedy decades of past government abuse.

By a 7-2 vote, the court ruled that the law does not impermissibly impose a federal mandate on traditionally state-regulated areas of power.....

This Time It’s Different? The Rush to Mine Indigenous Lands
The Aspen Institute: The mining industry has a long history of failing to respect community interests, breaking agreements, destroying sacred sites, and forcing displacements. Indigenous communities have been ‘disproportionately impacted’

by Mark Trahant -- Indian Country Today -- JUN 2023

WASHINGTON – This won’t be an easy conversation: Can tribal nations love mining? Or at least accept mining as a necessary step in the creation of a clean economy? And can governments and international mining companies figure out how to respect and work fairly with Indigenous communities?...

A Word About Brenda Norrell and Censored News
Al Swilling, SENAA International - 14 FEB 2015
   For those wondering why many of the shared posts on SENAA International's Web site and Facebook page are from Brenda Norrell's Censored News, it's very simple—and very complex. For many years, Brenda Norrell was a major journalist for (forgive me, Brenda) Indian Country Today (ICT) until they censored Brenda's articles and terminated her without cause. After leaving Indian Country Today, Brenda created the appropriately named Censored News.
   While at ICT, Brenda was a voice for the Dineh (Navajo) people at Black Mesa, Arizona, where bed partners  Peabody  Coal  and  the  BIA  were trying to forcibly remove Dineh residents from their ancestral homes in order to strip mine the land of its coal. That greed took the form of a contrived, fictional "land dispute" between Dineh' and Hopi....
 
Censored News by Journalist & Publisher Brenda Norrell
Censored News - 12 FEB 2015
   Censored News was created in 2006 after staff reporter Brenda Norrell was censored repeatedly, then terminated by Indian Country Today. Now in its 9th year, with 3.7 million page views around the world, Censored News is published with no advertising, grants or sponsors.
   Today, Censored News maintains a boycott of Indian Country Today, whose reporters have relied on plagiarism of others' hard work for years, instead of being present to cover news stories. Now, with a collective of writers, Censored News focuses on Indigenous Peoples and human rights. www.bsnorrell.blogspot.com

LSO MANAGEMENT: What They Are
and What to Do About Them

SENAA International  -  16 FEB 2010
   Introduction
  
The computing public is becoming increasingly aware of the existence of Local Shared Objects (LSOs), also called "Flash cookies" or "Persistent Identification Elements" (PIEs), the dangers they pose, and the unethical ways that they are placed on our machines. LSOs are the busybodies of  the   Internet,   sticking  their  noses  in   your   personal business  at every opportunity  without  your  knowledge  or consent; and like most busybodies, they're being found out.
   With growing public awareness of LSOs comes a growing demand for effective, real time control of them. Most LSO management solutions offer management or deletion of LSOs after potentially malicious ones have had time to do their damage. Stand-alone LSO management utilities do not offer real time protection, either. This tutorial provides real-time management of LSOs....  (click image or headline to read more)
