Hello there, dear fedinauts! Today I'll talk a little about Indigenous land struggles and legal recognition in Venezuela, a topic you chose in the poll I made. This is a very urgent issue, often ignored in my country by both private media and the government. This stirs a lot of feelings in me. As always, it is a super broad topic and cannot be covered properly in a thread. Corrections, questions, criticisms, etc. are always welcome. Let's dive in.

Indigenous activists opposed to Nevada’s Thacker Pass lithium mine have for years been surveilled by law enforcement agencies and the company behind the mine, records show.

“They treat us like we’re domestic terrorists,” an organizer said.

Mvto! to @myerman for alerting me to our screwed up gov't posting this racist genocidal artwork over at #Fascist#Nazis Online, i.e. #X#Twitter

If you know anything about North American #Native#Indigenous people you know this artwork holds a great deal of negative for us.

No surprise for an administration that has Andrew Jackson hanging in the White House and all the other racist bullshit. Still the threat and insensitivity, the delusional white pride that murder and theft is "progress"...

"The First Nations Seasonal Metrics vastly outperformed many of today’s leading forecasting models. Compared to an already strong baseline model, the First Nations data were 14.6 percent more accurate while reducing the error rate by 26.2 percent—less than half the error rate of existing forecasting programs."

More evidence showing that other forms of knowledge generation beyond Western science have value. So much potential for human progress is lost through a focus on one kind of science and one language (English).
