Ecuador's Indigenous Community Reclaims Ancestral Land After 80-Year Battle

An indigenous community in Ecuador, the Siekopai nation, has won a legal battle to reclaim their ancestral land in the Ecuadorian Amazon after more than 80 years of displacement due to war. The Ecuadorian appeals court ruled in favor of the Siekopai, giving them ownership over the biodiverse territory of Pë’këya. The court has ordered the Ministry of Environment to deliver a property title to the Siekopai people within 45 days for over 104,000 acres of land. This landmark ruling sets a precedent for indigenous communities fighting to reclaim their lands across Latin America and the world.

Maui's Indigenous Community Battles Land Grabs and False Claims Amidst Wildfires

The indigenous community of Maui, known as Kanaka Maoli, is fighting against land grabs by developers targeting victims of recent wildfires. These "vulture capitalists" are taking advantage of the tragedy to prey upon the community's connection to the land. The dispossession of Hawaii's land has been ongoing since American settlers arrived in the 19th century, and the Kanaka Maoli have been fighting for recognition of their land rights. Indigenous activists are working to inform their people about their legal rights and hold developers accountable. The fires have added another layer to the complex issue of land ownership in Hawaii, where billions of dollars are being injected into real estate, driving up prices and exacerbating the housing crisis. The indigenous community is also finding solidarity with the Palestinian community in their shared experiences of settler colonialism.

Minneapolis to Sell Land to Red Lake Nation for $1

The city of Minneapolis plans to sell two vacant lots to Red Lake Nation for $1 each, pending approval by the Minneapolis City Council. Red Lake Nation intends to build a healing center and garden to provide culturally specific resources for Indigenous people in the city, addressing issues such as drug dependency and homelessness. The project aims to combat disparities and improve the well-being of the Indigenous community, which faces higher rates of opioid overdoses. The tribe has allocated funds for the rehabilitation of a long-vacant building on one of the lots, with plans to expand the project in the future. The city's partnership with Red Lake Nation reflects a commitment to uplift those disproportionately affected by colonization and broken treaties.

Ohio National Forest Considers Name Change Amid Controversy

The Wayne National Forest in Ohio may be renamed Buckeye National Forest following requests from American Indian Tribes and the local community. The current name is seen as offensive due to General Anthony Wayne's "violent campaign" against the Indigenous community in Ohio. Other potential names under consideration are Ohio National Forest and Koteewa National Forest. The public has until September 5th to provide feedback on the proposed name change.
