The “Whaleback Pack”, as colonial agencies are calling them. Are living in Karuk territory, delivered a historic litter of pups in 2022. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the pack added 8 pups this year, the largest known litter of wolf pups in over 100 years!
The “Whaleback” Pack now sits at 10 known wolves after the male gray wolf, dubbed OR-85, mated with the female for the second time in two years. With the wolf pack delivering 15 pups in just two years of living in Karuk territory. This would not have been possible without the constant devotion of Mko the Invisible Warrior to resisting the colonial wolf slaughter. I.S.R take credit for this victory. We know full well it is us who are responsible for future generations to experience wolves outside of colonial national parks. To even be able to experience them west of the Rockies is because i myself the invisible warrior was present to fight them since the first wolves stepped over the so called “Oregon” border. A generation will experience megafauna and apex predators. We were also responsible for getting the first grizzly bear reintroduced into the northern cascade mountains. Colonial agencies and NGOs try to credit for some of these victories, but they weren’t even present for the physical confrontation element and fail to acknowledge indigenous revolutionaries because their careers depend on stealing our accolades.
There are 3 wolf packs total in so called California. The only other known pack in to live in Siskiyou County this century was the Shasta Pack, which have been missing since 2018. There are currently multiple investigations pertaining to the suspicious disappearance of the wolves. Colonists’ inability to protect wolves to the extent of losing entire wolf packs is a perfect example of how their negligence forfeit their duty back to the rightful stewards who should have been in control of wildlife conservation in the first place. Colonists investigating colonists is a terrible power dynamic. Leaving wildlife conservation in the hands of the same people whose colonial violence made them extinct in the first place. These anticolonial truths about wildlife conservation can only be made real by I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government.
Wolf numbers are higher than they have been in 100 years thanks to I.S.R repeatedly and thru great obstacles continued to confront them, showing up again and again often in rural hard to reach places. These kinds of ecological struggles don’t take place at the park in New Jersey, downtown Chicago or so-called Portland Oregon. Those who were there know i spent a decade very uncomfortable and struggling as a result of my persistence in resistance. /Takes a bow. Your welcome.
If your interested in wildlife conservation from an anticolonial analysis you should join I.S.R.

We are a militant indigenous government, but we do not support the militarism of the so-called U.S military. Militarism is defined as the belief or desire of a government or people create armies who operate outside of their homelands, and of a colonial and environmentally exploitive nature. (Example: The so-called U.S has 800 military bases worldwide who exploit the local populations where these bases exist). The U.S is the largest polluter on the globe. I.S.R strongly seek to create new environmental standards that would look tremendously different than what the colonial empire is doing. Our allegiance remains to the earth. The government of ISR seeks world peace by policing our own continent not everyone else’s. Under indigenous rule we will be able to enter into worldwide nuclear disarmament talks in a legitimate way for the first time ever in history.
We recognize that we are under the repression of a brutal regime who’s guiding spirit is colonial violence. We continue to undermine this by working towards peace. We must fight the repression of the state with organized, principled action guided by dialectical materialism. Peace is always preferable to war a people who understand the horrors of war know this. Our time is better spent planting crops, healing each other and restoring the land. Indigenous rule will bring about leaps and bounds in agriculture/horticulture.
I.S.R see giga death on the horizon due to climate catastrophe, the only thing that could surpass that is if the world erupted in world conflict. We at I.S.R resent the warmongers for delaying the attention of the global community which should be focused on climate solutions and making the world a better place. Sometimes they even site economic reasons for their wars but it’s like they don’t understand that there can be no economy without a healthy environment. These are the top 2 issues facing humanity. If you’re not in a political organization that is capable of producing solutions to the top issues facing humanity, then you might want to find a better organization. One that is hyper relevant to the times we are living in now. You might not want to wait until the last minute to make the switch either. You must be in an organization. Step number 1. No individual will impact these issues. No individual will overturn colonialism. Colonial warmongers interrupting the global communities attempts to address climate catastrophe will certainly lead to giga death. It is a most dire, sorrowful, ultraviolent and eminent situation. Colonialism is attempting to murder everyone on the planet by causing climate catastrophe. It must be overturned. The pan indigenous government must be built in its place. An entity that can keep the colonist from returning.
It is the duty of ever cadre member and officer to be principled in their advocacy and their actions. Tell the youth not to join the U.S military. Tell them to defend the earth and defend Turtle Island from colonization. Parents, tell the so-called U.S military that your young ones are too good for the military and that they can no longer use our children to fight other colonized people around the world. Militarism is Stockholms syndrome. Nobody here is impressed with your grampas war medals. We do not sympathize or identify with our colonial captures/abusers. Militarism like a poisonous weed, must be rooted out wherever encountered.
Disclaimer: Candles are dangerous. Always use caution. I.S.R Government is not responsible for any damages. Use at your own discretion.
Ingredients: You will need coffee can or large soup can, coconut oil, used candle wax, tall candles to use as wicks or wicks, spoon.
Using metal cans allows you to gently heat them on an electric range or gas stove. The wide base makes them more stable. You will want to break up the pieces of used candle wax so that they melt more evenly. Place the coffee can on the range and gently begin to add heat. Begin adding coconut oil and used candle wax and start to melt it together. Stir periodically with spoon. Add more coconut oil and used candle wax until the contents reach the top line of the coffee can. At this point you will want to remove any debris from the used candle wax and make sure the mixture is stirred. A few lumps are ok. Now you may remove the coffee cans from the heat and let them start to cool and solidify. Coconut oil works best in winter. Once the candles start to cool you shove the long candles or wicks down into the mixture. I like to place 2 or 3 wicks in each coffee can. This method makes candles into super winter survival candles that will burn for days. This is a political act of self-determination to address the material needs of the people. We hope that this brings you some warmth and light this winter.
Stay safe out there, take care of each other and join a serious anticolonial revolutionary organization.
Individualists are not the type to concern themselves with other people.
My dismay at the constant contradictions of a modern reservation system has given me a migraine from hell.
Maple trees line the roads. The leaves of the maple trees are bright to dark red.
Imagine real maple sugar, wild rice, and clean water as medicine.
Im just beginning to learn of the variety of plants that serve as food and medicine in the woods.
Imagining, all the folks that I feed narcotics to, on plant medicine. Yes, this is legal.
My guide and me were gathering plants for the cultural center at Nagachiwinong,
As one expression of “usufructuary rights” to hunt , fish and gather.
The 1854 colonial treaty boundary begins about 20 miles south of Sturgeon Lake Minnesota.
Enbridge is omnipresent on Nagachiwinong. Smiling and waving at us, as we passed by the workers and their trucks. Monitoring the pipeline? It was unclear what their purpose was by the lake. They barricaded the road as we were finishing gathering a few medicinal plants.
In my slide show, you will see the resting lake where Calamus is found.
The root of Calamus looks much like an iris or a lily.
Several, not all, reservation rice lakes in Minnesota , are resting this season from ricing. However, the neo colonial reservation business committee saw fit to allow white people to hunt ducks on this small resting lake. Signs posted ” resting lake” There was no bumper crop of wild rice this year. Wild rice is a picky plant. Wild rice is intolerable of sulfates in the water.
When the cedar begins to turn orange, late August early September, is the usual ricing time.
Make no mistake about it, the tribal DNR uses the same tactics as state DNR.
Like ” electrocuting the lake” to obtain fish samples.
Indigenous people’s unwillingness to join the anticolonial, revolutionary government, lack of revolutionary political education lead by I.S.R, and overall lack of political will has led to incomprehensible demoralization.
People are still under the impression that the right job or a proper loan of money is going to fix this.
What are children taught in the public schools about the rightful stewards of the natural world? About being addicted to narcotics, strung out and dead of an OD?
Or the proper way to treat one’s body. I.S.R has solutions to these and other problems. We do not intend to give away our recipe. You need to actually apply a base level of commitment and join.
There’s no god going to step in and fix this.
We at ISR do not aspire to be president, mayor or on city council. When the people , of Nagachiwinong tell city council ” no means no” and they shove pipelines through the land anyway, there is a specific word that comes to mind. Only through decolonization, and the undermining of empire- will we be set free. Free from economic strangulation. Free from hunger. Free from rape.
Unified for a safe space for shelter. See: Committees, and Eco village. All are welcome. Provided, you agree to some simple rules. See: group rules.
Its going to be 30 to 40 ° degrees below this winter in Minnesota. Duluth needs to stop murdering people with felony records. But, that’s a whole other story.
Or is it?
We are our own search and rescue, through organizing on our own.
Deb Haaland is not involved. She is a neocolonial sell out with the blood of her own people on her hands.
On Nagachiwinong, the signs and symptoms of neocolonialism were everywhere, all at once.
The straight line ditch, that stopped meandering rivers and streams, compliments , ACOE. In the 1930′ s
Huge trucks with the company logo, rumble through the rez and down the logging roads. If we had any dignity as a people, we would set roadblocks on our reservations and close them to exploitation projects, they may even find where some of our missing and murdered indigenous people keep going but as wards of the state the reservations lack the political will to assert themselves because the power dynamic of sovereignty is a power under situation. A new indigenous government is needed. One that is actually revolutionary. One who’s power dynamic is a power over dynamic until the empire is overturned and any colonists who refuse to accept indigenous rule along with all counterrevolutionaries are deported or run into the oceans and seas.
Minnesota nice is pervasive. White devils with smiling faces tell lies. Crimes against the land and the people, insidious.
After the humiliation and verbal battery of one young water protector, by a group of ” elders” , the demoralization of various anarchist style water protectors was complete. This water protector had put up a valiant fight. There could have been a vastly different outcome through organizing from within, rather than organizing with outsiders. In my opinion, these adventurists need an apparatus or a structure for survival and for life. The absence of the revolutionary government leaves anarchists who would oppose a revolutionary government who might actually have a chance at rivalling the empire alone to battle with politically illiterate elders.
Neither wolf nor dog, the Anishinaabe numerically have sided with exploitation. The RBC conceded to this land and water theft.
They concede to duck hunting by outsiders in a resting lake. According to one spiritual leader who’s opinion I respect, ” we cant keep hammering away at the lakes” Hence the resting lake with ” no ricing” signs posted.
It was a beautiful day in Indian Country.
Warm by afternoon, Cool morning that required a light jacket.
I thought that the plant nations were and are stunning in their tenacity for survival.
Where we were harvesting wintergreen, (an indigenous plant), a perfectly round spot on the moss where waawashkeshi had bedded down.
I understand these pipelines, to be dirty and destructive beyond reason. I don’t know what the people in the trucks were doing, aside from smiling and making their presence known. By the time we were done harvesting, the truck people were barricading the road for no further entry. One young man had a really special helmet on. He worships the beast.
I feel devastated sad and guilty for this generation.
Mainly, the pipelines have to do with to much TOXIC CO 2 in the atmosphere.
As every living system and all beings are related, all sentient beings will be eradicated by the toxicity of empire.
At ISR, we want to bring people the education and the tools to begin anew.
Learn the lost art of self determination
for health care, womans health care, or otherwise. We have our own.
Respect is a requirement.
Knowledge of the plant nations is gradual and in person to person.
That knowledge can’t be analyzed through the lens of Western medicine.

Taking the grandchildren to see the horses. I never knew the Ojibwe to have a relationship to the horse. This relationship to these smaller, woodland dwelling horses was not something we talked about in ” First Nations Studies”, UWS.
In fact, our relationship to the natural world is as fractured as anyone’s. But Im working on that relationship.
While the boys are still interested in going places w grandma, we went last weekend, to view a small-scale herd of horses.
The horses are cared for by an Ojibwekwe, and her husband. Their goal is to help facilitate viable population of these horses.
And that the Ojibwe themselves / children/ average people would have access to these horses.
These horses were almost eradicated by colonists in the early part of the 19th century, as a so called, public nuisance. Similarly, the herds of the horses of the Niimipoo or Nez Perce by the U.S Army. It is mainly wealthy white people that own the horses now. White privilege is actually white supremacy. The u.s owes indigenous people’s reparations for their scorched earth campaign. These reparations will never be paid because they are too immense, too vast. We will sooner see reparations by way of self-determination by creating and asserting a new revolutionary anticolonial pan indigenous government.
The horses helped the Ojibwe with trap lines and hauling.
Roadkill factor. Racoons and Fox. Porcupine. Lots of deer.
The highways in Minnesota and Wisconsin are painted red with animal blood, mainly during deer hunting season. Oil wars feed the empire with the blood of our young people. Fossil fuel Blood money. Amerikkka has a love affair with cars.
Vehicles cause the most animal deaths. Cars kill more animals than that despicable colonialist past time, sport hunting. Displaced as these creatures are, from their world in the woods, of so-called Minnesota. June is the season for turtles to lay their eggs. For millions of years. At least, in this part of the Northern hemisphere.
At a turtle’s pace, turtles may try to cross the road. To lay their eggs, for life to continue.
It saddens me that I can’t make a road trip without viewing the mangled remains of various animal species.
Ironically, I make a lot of road trips.
Take out a pinch of tobacco & put it out when seeing a dead non – human.
Pack some heavy gloves in your trunk.
Carefully move their bodies off of the road.
Capitalism exasperates climate catastrophe.
My rickety 05 Grand Caravan was breaking down. And grotesque with rust. So unattractive. It has a mismatched red fender. We couldn’t find a blue one from the junk yard. At my partners prompting, I was persuaded to take out a loan for a 09 Chevy Impala. It was perfect well. comparatively…gold in color and almost perfect interior. Although I wouldn’t turn down a 64 Chevy Impala, reminiscent of low rider culture, and my beloved East Los. I have the credit score & he’s got the better income.
It is inevitable. Did I consider that a 12-year-old NASA study named automobiles the # 1 contributor to greenhouse gas emissions? It’s easy to imagine Amerikkka as the ” spiritual home of car culture”
Trying to imagine my way out of this mire.
Sad.
I am now enslaved to that loan. I am enslaved to that car. 30 + frog skins oil change. 32 frog skins renew my license. 40 for tabs. Have already put some 300 into it to keep it going.
Never really considered my relationship with the various vehicles I had owned over the years. Since I have lived in Southern Minnesota, I am on my 4th vehicle. Will it be my last, I ask myself. As many road trips as I take, it will be a good day to die one day. I visit dying rivers and homeless encampments. I managed to round up 5 people for a direct action to protect wolves in the wild. Had to bring 3 from Duluth. 200 miles from here to Duluth. I go to Duluth a lot..
I have 5 children. I had to buy (at one time) bags and more bags of food from the grocery store. It is inevitable under capitalism.
I’m one of those people that complains about climate change without an awareness of my own contribution.
I now commute 48 miles round trip to a gig in Northfield. Without the gig, I can’t afford the loan or the insurance.
The relationship of vehicles to climate catastrophe and the desecration of mother earth, cannot be overstated.
Although some people making a voluntary shift to horse, dog, bicycle or some kind of truly sustainable form of transportation it is only decolonization or collapse that will bring an end to cur culture. This decolonization can be brought about by indigenous rule. New environmental standards will be set by the pan indigenous government local food collectives will be mandated. Decolonize! Take the land back. Bring back the horse.

Let’s talk about some examples. I don’t know if it’s just me but incidents of animals fighting back are either gaining in frequency. When i started researching online i found these examples of animals defending themselves and their habitat in just 2022 alone. I wanted to give credit to the animals who are fighting back. Eagles are attacking drones and all kinds of stuff. Here is 20 recent examples. Current news. And 2022 isn’t over yet. Animals are resisting. Are you?
A man in Australia was brutally beaten to death when his dogs got into it with an adult male kangaroo. Kangaroos are buff and this kangaroo probably got tired of dogs and colonists and put a lethal beat down on them.
An alligator bit someones arm off in “Florida” Seminole territory.
A leopard seal in the arctic bites and punctures a zodiac raft in the frozen water.
A large antelope gored a zookeeper to death in Sweden.
Animals are reported to be attacking people out of desperation in Ethiopia. Probably attacking native as well on this one.
Monkeys defend themselves with violence in northern India.
Woman attacked by bull shark in the Bahamas
An elephant chases a jeep out of its territory in India.
Bear attacks colonist in so called Vermont.
Polar bear wounds a person in Norway.
A monk seal attacks someone in Hawaii
Bison and Elk are attacking people and stealing their pants in Eastern Shoshone, and Lakota territory.
A grizzly bear broke the spine of a long-distance cyclist in Assinaboine territory
An 11 year old boy was also bitten by a bull shark in Seminole territory. Bull sharks are handling their business.
Another man was killed by an alligator in South Carolina, Cherokee territory.
A so called U.S soldier was killed by a bear when the soldier approached its den in Alaska Tlinget, Innuit territory.
Great White shark takes out a colonist over the colonizers holliday in Pomo territory “California”.
Geese attack people every year. They consistently hold their own against humans.
Grizzly bear takes out another hiker in Montana, Crow, Blackfeet and Assinaboine territory
A bull moose attacked a dog sled team and fought the sledder and the dog team for an very intense hour long conflict.
I read Jeriah Bowsers book “Elements Of Resistance” and it talks about how animals do not use nonviolence. I would agree ive only ever seen domestic animals use nonviolence. You can see the evidence of the domestication of humans in the political climate. You can read more here.
Regarding the action to shut down hwy 101 at a strategic location to force concessions towards water quality and conservation was a massive success. Concessions are basically when the oppressor throws the people a bone partly because they are caving to the demands and pressure put on them by revolutionary elements who intend on doing more than put up water tests results and vote. tribal people who had been monitoring water quality and raising awareness. Raising awareness is a great first step it helps lay the groundwork for actual revolutionaries who should take up a cause later. So many people think raising awareness is the end all be all. Those people are incorrect. Raising awareness does nothing until people like me come along. A revolutionary element brings about change by force. The other reason is to save face and appear to be in the interest of the people. Those with Stockholms syndrome eat this up and people who never wanted to resist very hard are easily satisfied. Clearly the benefactors of the worlds largest and ongoing genocide do not and have never had the best interests of indigenous peoples in mind….. These changes are concessions brought about by force. That being said 34 million dollars was awarded to the state of so called “Oregon” and tribes for wastewater treatment.
What happened at the action that forced this? I previously released a statement saying openly what i was going to do as a warning that if not headed would bring about shut downs on hwy 101. When they were not headed i came back to make good on it. At a well scouted and strategically powerful location i set out to shut down Hwy 101. I scouted it so well that i was certain of some kind of victory before i committed to the action that i knew could potentially end me up in jail if i made too many wrong moves. I invited many tribal people and activists on the coast, I invited an indigenous motorcycle club, and militants from around Illahee but none showed up. I had committed in my mind to do this by myself if i had too which i knew was very dangerous. Just as i was about to do it myself a couple people showed up. Although only a few people showed up, my opposition is threatened by my alliances, they are extremely nervous that elements of the local salmon tribes and beyond will back me up on this and could be actually mobilized to take decisive action. We maneuvered oversized signs around a strategically powerful area backing up traffic for miles. Police showed up because colonists called them. The first police showed up and i was able to mentally dominate them and diffuse the situation. Traffic continued to be delayed. A young colonist tried to hit me with a vehicle. I dodged it like a bullfighter dancing around a bull and continued. I was playing recordings of Grandmother Agnes on a loudspeaker so people in the cars could hear her talking about the water and the salmon while i worked my magic. I wasn’t quite breaking the law but i bent the shit out of it severely. After a good while longer and having really backed the highway up for possibly 5 miles “Oregon” state troopers blitzkrieged my ass and threw me and one of my crew in handcuffs. There i was about to get cuffed and stuffed for the Salmon but i have training and this wasn’t my first rodeo. I convinced the police to release us on a technicality. I was able to relate as a human being but carefully without incriminating myself because you should never talk to cops. The police were shocked at how effective i was. They kept looking around and asking if i had more people with me. Almost like they didn’t think just the few of us could do all that. Also, kind of in a way that seemed to suggest why the hell didn’t I have more support because this was so ace. The officers decided that the law had not been broken and that i had only just bent the shit out of it severely. The officers said that they loved the salmon too and they released us. I thanked them for not roughing us up and we went on our way. Like an artist who understands how to use my palate. By this time Hwy 101 was at a complete stand still. We had secured a victory.
“Powerconcedesnothingwithoutademand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both”.
Frederick Douglass
Who is to thank? Your champions are not who you would think.
1. A man who has defended forests and fought for the rights of the homeless and continues organize around a creative recycling program in Portland. He is known as Mo.
2. A non-native and a communist who loves the river and does not wish to be named.
3. Myself, War Chief Mko who has completed 300 actions and who’s dedication is unrivaled.
Whats next where do we go from here? Although this is one of our top achievements and we acknowledge it isn’t finished. This isn’t over yet we realize these are just concessions and we continue to build power for our own pan indigenous government who will one day rival the empire. Water quality is still being monitored by tribal people as well as the scientific community. We suspect one more wastewater treatment plant is still shitting on tribal people and poisoning the river with a mix of sewage, medical and industrial waste. I.S.R will lead an effort to shut them down too as soon as data comes back and the people fully back I.S.R pan indigenous government and our efforts by what is now our own department of natural resources within I.S.R. I.S.R as a government will implement our own environmental standards for the first time as the rightful stewards and revolutionary indigenous government.
Next is the lost art of self-determination. Some of the money that was given should be used for composting toilets that have already proven to save millions of gallons of water. They should be put in by the state who needs to be forced to have some kind of environmental standards. Their 1930s kkk laws have them embarrassingly shitting on indigenous people in 2022. Even rodents know not to defecate in their drinking water, but a colonist is lower than a rat therefore this and all efforts should be lead by the indigenous. We are asking that the existing tribal government of Siletz who has been reluctant to resist the poisoning of their own river now keep up their end. Siletz tribe could and should also put in composting toilets but this time flexing their tribal sovereignty to take it to the next level and start to produce a safe humanure. This humanure can safely be used for certain horticulture such as fruit trees or corn etc. The flushing toilet is only around 1000 years old. Ancient people just composted it. It is absolutely paramount that indigenous peoples who have input into how they run their own sovereign nations to flex on this and lead this decades late undertaking. We call for a massive increase in composting toilets by all indigenous nations. If this is not embraced by these nations it will serve as further proof of the necessity of a new pan indigenous government. One born of revolutionary struggle.
When asked about tourists and by tourists, i really mean colonists getting too close to wildlife or possible attacks on people from wildlife I.S.R Officer Debbie Boone had this to say:
As someone who has lived and volunteered at Yellowstone Park I can say firsthand how this impacts our land and animals. There are so many visitors in one year’s time 4 million in fact that visit so called national parks. It’s truly an encroachment on both our land and wildlife. The emissions alone from the vehicles is terrible. You can literally see it in the air especially on hot days. Can you imagine how those effects the animals and a natural environment. That’s like smokers coming into your house and contaminating your home and your space. Impacts on the environment and delicate plants really takes its toll. The ecosystem there is just beautiful but can’t handle this level of intrusion. It can’t take the ramifications, the damage that it causes is extreme. I get the people are amazed and they’ve never seen anything like that before, but they also have to understand they need to respect the animals and the environment. During rutting season, The bison are everywhere because that’s mating season. But tourist’s lack of common Sense leaves them. They’re out of their cars trying to get selfies which is terribly dangerous, and many have faced the music by injury and even death. These are wild animals not pets or fuzzy dogs. Around Mammoth Park area the elk are allowed to roam free but still people fail to understand the concept of wild. I’ve seen many elk run after folks for being in their area and they’re also in mating season in the summer. I actually call a lack of respect wildlife a downright stupidity. I know for a fact that when people check into the hotels the rules are clearly stated in 10 languages. It clearly states not to approach wildlife. It literally just blows my mind. I’ve watched people get so close to bears I have to shake my head in disbelief of their incredible ego. If a mama bear would decide to turn on them it could mean death because they couldn’t get away fast enough. For real. So what can be done to protect everyone and everything. well Yellowstone has actually talked about using the coaches that they have and making everybody keep their vehicles parked and take their tours on these new coach buses but yet that hasn’t been put into play. Protection of natural resources is at the utmost importance. Tourism (colonial galivanting) generates land degradation, air and noise pollution, littering, trampling and the alteration of very delicate ecosystems. It needs to stop. there’s got to be a better way and that would be to leave wildlife alone. Colonialism has wiped out 60% of mammals, birds, reptiles and fish since 1970. So much to the point that experts warn that annihilation of wildlife is now an emergency that threatens civilization. In the so called “u.s” the illegitimate agency fish and wildlife service’s themselves kills more than 2 million animals every year on lands that belong to the indigenous of the western hemisphere. such a figure of indiscriminate killing cost us a broad ecological destruction and biodiversity and not to mention the cost to the taxpayers for whatever that’s worth. Yes, your tax dollars contribute to this atrocity. So again, I ask you how fair is that because we need them so much? I find that colonists have such a blatant disrespect for all that’s sacred on our home it’s beyond me. Support I.S.R pan indigenous government. Remove power from illegitimate colonial agencies. Assist it the restoration of Turtle Island by putting wildlife and natural resources under the control of the rightful stewards. #LandBack

Sewage and plastics spewed into the ocean. Sewage and food waste into the Bahamian waters .
Sewage and plastic into the great lakes region. Yes , I said it. Sewage. The stuff that the toilets produce. Shit, from the same place that your fish is farmed. Cruise ships stop shitting on the great lakes! One price quote for a cruise ship tour of the great lakes, starts at $13, 000 but the restitution owed to indigenous people and the land is is unpayable by the colonist and we will eventually have to take our own restitution by force. Land back and so much more.
The rich pay for these cruises. I am working class, and this is bullshit. I used to watch the lake, 1966. Sailboats, Iron ore ships. Fishing boats.
These were boats that accomplished some service. However, cruise ships function purely for hedonism. Cruise ship owners like Disney, Carnival etc. are psychopathic entities. Disney has made massive contributions to the military industrial complex creating violence across the globe. Carnival cruise lines: Expels 500000 gal of sewage and 11000 gallons of food waste globally.
Disney cruise lines is more adept at green washing. Disney offers a package where a tourist can travel to area or place ” untouched by man” On their own island. Colonial tourism. Galivanting on stolen lands. occupying them for pleasure. These ships would be better repurposed for bringing settlers back to their places of origin. Better if these vessels are repurposed to put indigenous in control of immigration as currently some 95 percent of peoples being denied immigration to the so called “u.s” are actually indigenous.
A floating den of thieves. Sexual assault. Murder. A ship full of covid.
The diesel fuel pollutes everything. More C02 into The water. The air. Sensitive habitat. The affected communities. Cruise ships murder coral reefs. Asthma numbers go up. Community members don’t like cruise ships invading their homes and waters.
The Bahamas, has Lemon sharks, turtles, coral, sea birds and some of the clearest Waters on earth.
Yet, the Red Cliff band of Chippewa ” indians” warmly received the captain and crew. They welcome hedonism. Along with chamber of commerce , the mayor and a shop owner or 2. The beautiful Red Cliff drum and dance group was there to dance for the crew and passengers.
The dance troup consisted of some children , ages 7 – 17.
Rabbett Strickland was there. He gifted the captain with the art ” Voyage of a New world”
Its so good for the economy ! is the rallying cry.
The precious economy. What these exploiters fail to understand is there is no economy without a healthy environment. We the indigenous seek full dictatorship over our lands and natura resources. We intend to set our own environmental standards once the colonists are diminished. Colonists as we have stated so many times have no place being in control of anything on Turtle Island especially natural resources. The colonist has no reverence and everything they touch is threatened.
I believe the Vicking Ocantus went to Bayfied WI 4 times. This floating city had a little over 500 of crew and passengers. Some floating cities can hold thousands.
Close to Bayfield, are the Apostle islands and Madeline Island. Now, a cruise ship invasion. This area is part of the Ojibwe migratory route. In history, we sought the place where the food grows on the water. ( wild rice) on this route. The Ojibwe settled in various places on this route. Migration of the Midewin
Carnal over consumption by the rich and exploitive seen successful. Lifestyles of the rich and exploitive. Kind of like an alcoholic on a train bound for nowhere.

The artist, Rabbett Strickland, reminds me of Waynaboozhoo. Waynaboozhoo had/ has the ability to learn from his mistakes.)
A small apartment in SF, he’s got to pay an exorbitant amount of rent, too. It was said by one writer that his apartment was as walking into a different world. The world of the Lake Superior Ojibwe, as depicted in his brilliant art. Waynaboozhoo, depicted with fawn ears, medievalesque. The river flowing with blood, as he contemplates the passing of our wolf brothers.
The voyage of the New World: The voyage to the new world depicts 6 Ojibwe in a boat. On a very tumultuous Lake Superior. Not a canoe…
.. I was not able to find the proper translation. Chi Jiiman.
Big canoe.
In the helm of the boat there is a ‘ shinaab holding a large turtle.
Mi zhee kay or turtle, helps form a new earth. After the catastrophic flood in chapter 5, of the Mishomis book, mi zheekay , the turtle, takes the piece of earth from Muskrat , ( muskrat gave his life for us).
Story of flood and turtle island:
Waynaboozhoo took the piece of earth from muskrats paw.
Mizheekay ( turtle) swam forward. He said” use my back to bear the weight of this piece of earth.” Waynaboozhoo then put the piece of earth on the turtles back.
Noo di noon began to blow. The wind blew from each of the 4 directions.. The piece of earth on turtles back begin to grow.
It formed mi ni si ( island ) in the water.
Still the earth grew. Still the turtle bore its weight on its back.
A huge island sat in the great expanse of water. Waynaboozhoo began to sing.
The animals began to dance in an ever widening circle..the winds stopped blowing and the waters became still.
Traditional people today still sing songs and dance in a circle in memory of this event.
To this day, creator has made it so that the descendants of muskrat have a good life. Marshes have been drained and destroyed. Muskrats continue to multiply and grow.
Chapter 5, mishomis book.
There are many tellings from many of the earths people that show that depict
The ancient Mesopotamians had The Epic Tale Of Gilgamesh which later became coopted into Noah”s ark . We have the telling of Turtle island. The Crow have a similar telling but, in their version, ducks are the hero instead of muskrat.
I posit that the earths ecosystems can no longer withstand the constant assault and dirtiness of colonists. Earth is fighting back, in doing so, she will eliminate millions of humans. Indigenous are keystone species that benefit the ecosystem this has been lost by the colonist somewhere in their process 1,300 years ago.
The Red Cliff band of Chippewa Indians venerate war and imperialism. Check out the casino and see the display of photos of veterans past until present day. This is one of the reasons we must continue to build I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government. I.S.R is firmly against the glorification of the war machine.
The the time is now to rise, as the colonial system will fail and something indigenous and benevolent must be built in its place to keep them from coming back. Build I.S.R Unity thru decolonization. Confront colonialism. Restore Turtle Island including its pre-colonial ways of spirituality. We need a pan indigenous government of epic proportions.
NOT a neo colonial tribal government. Not an entity eager to be exploited. Not a tribal government held in federal trust unable to make decisions as if we are disabled or mentally retarded but a full dictatorship. Power over not power under as in the common understandings of the word sovereignty.
Reject and resist neo colonialism.

Watching and listening to all the comments jokes and memes about the Pope well let me ask you this are you a member of any organization?
Anyone? Well then don’t complain join today join ISR you really can’t speak on this unless you’re building an organization that intends on rivaling the empire. And genocide isn’t funny. We understand the whole humor as a coping mechanism thing, but you should be frustrated enough to turn that frustration into organization. You mock yourselves with these joke memes. The children tortured by the residential schools hoped we would liberate them or one day get justice for them not laugh at the situation. If you don’t know what to do about the situation, then join an organization and we will show you…. What happened was a travesty from the natives and the Pope. The Pope and the Vatican continue to dance around any admission of guilt. The elephant in the room is legal claims to the land by indigenous peoples. Indigenous land claims are still being undermined to this day with things like the supreme court vs. Oneida nation. The decision from this case continues to make land theft law thanks to Ruth Baader Ginsburg who made one of the most heinous genocidal legal decisions of all time by doubling down on manifest destiny, and the doctrine of discovery. Restitution is owed to the indigenous of the western hemisphere. In all actuality it is us as revolutionary indigenous government and indigenous peoples themselves to seize restitution because it will never be willingly given to us. We will free ourselves. This is where our elders need more political education. What we are seeing is more examples of how our elders are politically illiterate to our detriment as a people. I say this because i have witnessed the sting of elders who insisted on leading who left the land poisoned for 300 years by making rookie mistakes. We just don’t have that kind of time left. Our elders incessant need to be tokenized is the “Germs Of Rot” that Fanon was taking about in his quote. #NotYourTanto
Material change has long been abandoned for symbolism and empty symbolic gestures are often celebrated by indigenous peoples because of our lack of political education. What’s worse is the Pope was taken to a burial ground and had proximity to our dead. This indicates that in some cases even symbolism is lost to us and we have become oblivious to spiritual warfare and allow him to do spells on us. To give a headdress and an Indian name to the Pope is ludicrous. Many of our own native youth don’t have a native name and so many are struggling. This is Stockholms Syndrome. The whole thing shows a lack of true leadership of those tribes… It reiterates the fact that if indigenous nations were doing their job, had a correct anticolonial power stricter and sought power over the colonist instead of sovereignty under there would be no need for I.S.R to exist. They gave an native name to boot seriously? We are one of the last peoples to not be fully humiliated on this earth. Once they humiliate you, they try to take you out. Once you become pathetic the next step is to kill you. People in the international community and potential allies could get the wrong interpretation when they see the pictures going around with the Pope in a headdress. (Headdress symbolizes great deeds done by the wearer) This symbolism is like a backwards medicine. A spell? a Psy Opp? Mind Control and propaganda. There is a second less used meaning of the term “rape culture” it extends to the undermining of the physical and political boundaries of indigenous peoples. A picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand bad words in this case. The Pope and the Vatican are involved in a land theft racket. The actions of some of our elders do not speak for the rest of us and it is as if they have learned nothing from generations of torture. Land, culture, language etc. all this is included in restitution and the sum is so large that colonists will never be able to pay it. It would sooner happen if colonists would just leave our continent and let us begin repairing it on our own. The pope should have been banned from Turtle Island and he should have been met by a security force with armed warriors to repel his visit yet indigenous people were left with a bill for 35 million dollars for his visit. The Vatican has become the largest landowner on the planet due to this religious genocide. The church is responsible for the deaths of millions and left survivors with mental health issues. It’s time to get our way of life back to save this whole planet and future generations… and here at ISR we aim to do just that everybody seems to be so mad but what have you done to change that have you joined an organization yet to secure yours and your family’s future? Individuals don’t create revolution only organizations do that. Requests to rescind the doctrine of discovery will continue to fall on deaf ears. As Kwame Ture teaches us nonviolence only works if your enemy has a conscious. Some people celebrated the Cree woman who sang Oh Canada in Cree but it should not be celebrated. Celebrating this will only teach the youth that its ok to negotiate with terrorists and to sing songs for baby killers. Pow wow culture, you know its not traditional right? Do we really just want to do a grand entry with the Pope that bad? I.S.R call for an end to symbolic gestures. They have us wasting material resources going on walks to raise awareness for MMIP when combat and self-defense programs are more effective. At this rate we will perish, and we refuse to follow leaders who are politically illiterate. Always listening to our elders is an outdated cultural practice that is not serving us at this juncture. We are not relics. We are not frozen in time. Self-determination has become a lost art. Dialectical materialism barely considered and not in an organized way. This whole display drives home the need for an indigenous dictatorship. It brings into sharp focus the pettiness of human beings which we cite as the need for this dictatorship in the first place. Many non-natives don’t know why natives go to church and perhaps some natives don’t know by now, but we were divided up amongst the churches as if we were their property. Our religious symbols corrupted by theirs. We could only have our dances if we did it under a cross and an amerikkkan flag. We have come to identify with our captors it’s called Stockholm syndrome. The Vatican may offer some crumbs, but those crumbs will come with shackles.
The decolonization of Turtle Island is inevitable. Colonialism needs to be destroyed and replaced. We must continue to build the fledgling pan indigenous government to keep them out. Ripping them down is not enough. Only then will we gain control over our own destinies on our own land. We can become what we are supposed to be we can trade our own wares, natural resources, honey, corn, tobacco, maple syrup. Seize the means of production. And arguably most importantly set our own environmental standards. So once again I ask what are you doing about it ? If your not in an anti colonial organization that aspires to rival the empire then let this be your wake up call. Tap into an organization that strives for righteousness and the ability for of all of us to live on this planet.
