On Indigenous People’s Day we continue to denounce racism, and dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric from Trump and all of the fascist governments of the world.
The current Biden-Harris administration has acknowledged that thousands of children separated at the border during Trump’s “zero policy” era have not yet been reunified with their families, and claims that those responsible for Trump’s Zero Tolerance policy are “criminal” but has not made any plan to hold anyone accountable. Biden’s administration also promised to reunite more than 3,000 thousand children to their families but this hasn’t happened yet.
In fact, the U.S. government continues to lock up indigenous children, extreme levels of repression from ICE continue to persist, as we’ve seen most recently against the migrant Haitian community.
The brave children featured in this film carry out this piece of art that denounces the cruelty executed by the United States government against migrant families by separating them and locking up children in prisons. Until now, that policy persists though masked in different ways, families continue to be seperated.
As the election nears, and the population on stolen Turtle Island is once again forced to pick between the lesser of two evils chosen by the corporate oligarchy, indigenous peoples here and across the world continue to bear the brunt of the political violence enacted by the current administration. Our collective suffering must end.
And it will end when the majority of the population demands an end to all wars and occupations, when the people abolish and dismantle the corrupt state, when we demand equal distribution of housing, food and resources, and when we give Land Back to the stewardship of indigenous people, so that we may once again reclaim and embrace indigenous ancestral leadership, teachings, food and medicine to heal our collective and Mother Earth.
