"Un-Settling Occupation" OWS Stands With Indigenous Americans With Janice Richards, Oglala Sioux , activist and educator Firewolf Nelson-Wong, Dine, AIM member and activist Joseph, indigenous activist Christopher Hedges, journalist, activist Raymond Two Hawks, Narragansett Nation, Rhode Island Territory
On the 121st anniversary of the massacre at Wounded Knee, indigenous people connected the colonial occupation of Manhattan to Occupy Wall Street - an occupation of already occupied land. They gathered in order to initiate an open dialogue with OWS, to raise local and national awareness of ongoing Native struggles, and to recognize that the injustices and inequalities we currently confront are the bricks and mortar of conquest and settler colonialism. Un-settling "occupation" called upon OWS in its yearnings to voice the experiences of the 99% to make space for those most marginalized. As stated during the evening, let us pass the mic, turn up the volume, listen to Native voices, and break down the culture of domination - and find roads which we can walk down together.
