Jonathan Jose murderer back in court.

Low-key wish we Native ppl were there for him at the time. Like the Black Panthers or something. Isn’t that what AIM was for?

Los sarcófagos chachapoyas

Los sarcófagos chachapoyas, conocidos como purunmachos, son imponentes ataúdes antropomorfos de arcilla y caña de hasta 2,5 metros de altura, construidos hace más de 600 años en los acantilados de la región Amazonas (Perú), que albergan momias de líderes chachapoyas y destacan por su ubicación inaccesible en riscos elevados, como los de Karajía cerca de Cruzpata en el distrito de Trita (provincia de Luya), popularizados en 1985 por el arqueólogo Federico Kauffmann Doig. Estas cápsulas funerarias, con forma humana que incluye máscaras, bustos y cabezas modelados -a veces cerradas por escudos convexos, representan un patrón sepulcral exclusivo y unipersonal para difuntos importantes, diferenciándose de mausoleos o chullpas, en un sitio icónico a unos 50 metros de altura; sin embargo, persiste un fascinante misterio sobre cómo los chachapoyas lograron transportar y colocar estas pesadas estructuras en tales precipicios verticales, sin aparentes caminos ni herramientas modernas, lo que ha intrigado a expertos y alimentado leyendas sobre técnicas ancestrales de escalada o cuerdas ingeniosas aún no del todo explicadas.

Meanwhile, in the Dakotas...

I'm really interested in this strategy. While I doubt the states would ever (individually or together) agree on this, there is some logic to this from a culture perspective. Then again, in both states, the economic powerhouse of the state (Fargo in ND, Sioux Falls in SD) is located in the eastern half. The western half would be fairly poor (oil money notwithstanding - that is extremely boom/bust) and otherwise nearly completely dependent on tourism dollars and federal funding. Thoughts?

EDIT 1: Should be clear (thanks commenters) -- this is from a humor/satire site. EDIT 2: I did forget the oil of Western ND, yes.

I am indigenous in Canada. I had a relative that had passed at just 14 years old. We should have grown up together. The U.S. DoJ ruled her death an “accident”. It’s been eight years.

Peoples who have faced violence deserve justice and to have their voices heard.

We must speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves.

Ignorance must end.
