    Jul 7, 2020

    The leader of an Indigenous-led advocacy organization, who spent the holiday weekend in jail after defending his people’s unceded territory in the Black Hills, called the serious charges he’s facing “bullshit.” Nick Tilsen, Oglala Lakota, president and CEO of NDN Collective, is charged with multiple offenses, including two felonies, related to the July 3 Mount Rushmore protest that ended with 20 treaty defenders — 19 adults and one juvenile — in jail, according to the Pennington County Sheriff's Office.

    Jul 7, 2020

    More than 100 treaty defenders and other protesters gathered on a highway leading to Mount Rushmore on Friday ahead of President Donald Trump’s speech at the monument. The group blocked the road, holding banners and chanting slogans such as “We can’t breathe” and proclaiming treaty rights.

  • The effects of COVID-19 on the mental health of Indigenous communities

    Jul 7, 2020

Race, biological sex, age, and socioeconomic status are some of the factors that can amplify the impact of the new coronavirus. At Medical News Today, we’ve started to examine the racialized impact of this global pandemic, and specifically the toll that it takes on more vulnerable communities in the U.S. In this feature, we continue by focusing on how the pandemic affects Indigenous populations in the U.S. and C...

  • First Nations losing oil revenue amid fall in consumption, drilling

    Jul 7, 2020

    In a windswept corner of the Blood Tribe land in southwest Alberta is a pumpjack that towers more than three storeys off the ground and reaches three kilometres deep. It's one of only two new wells to be drilled on the First Nation in the last year, as the downturn in the industry has resulted in reduced drilling across Western Canada. The well was drilled in December and began operating in February, less than one month before oil prices crashed further as the pandemic spread across the globe. Fuel consumption has fallen sharply as countries...
