A U.S. District Judge has mandated the city to provide members of a Native American church access to a restricted section in Brackenridge Park for religious rites. However, measures to deter birds can persist. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery made this decision in reaction to a lawsuit petition, focusing exclusively on these two matters due to the limited time highlighted in a recent four-day hearing. The interim directive requires the city to promptly address a hazardous, hanging tree branch in the designated area and to put up a gate. This...

The color orange represents the ongoing struggle by indigenous residential school survivors to identify the missing children, locate their burial sites, determine how they died and reunite them with their respective families. Only when we have precise facts can we move ahead to bringing criminal charges against the institutions which administered the 150 schools and failed to prevent the blatant and ongoing abuse of the children under their care. To date very few of the abusers have been brought to justice. There can b...

Of these nine limits, humans have blown past six: climate change,...
In a decision that will have an impact on thousands of people who live in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, Brazil’s government has started expelling thousands of non-Indigenous people from two native regions. The Apyterewa and Trincheira Bacaja lands in Para state were intended to be given back to their original inhabitants, according to a statement from the Brazilian intelligence agency ABIN.

You never know what you’re gonna get from me right? Well, this week I have a movie I want to go over quickly, then I want to get into the meat of the talks. And the large portion of this is dedicated to w...
