Media outlets have declared former President Donald J. Trump the winner of the 2024 presidential election. Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen issued the following statement: “We have seen this playbook before. The previous administration denied people’s basic rights, freedoms, and refused to uphold the rule of law. When they denied the climate crisis, denied justice to communities long overburdened by pollution, and gave industry open season to pollute our land and waters, we fought back. And we won. We are even stronger now, and we...
By Tik Root. Donald J. Trump will once again be president of the United States. The Associated Press called the race for Trump early Wednesday morning, ending one of the costliest and most turbulent campaign cycles in the nation’s history. The results promise to upend U.S. climate policy: In addition to returning a climate denier to the White House, voters also gave Republicans control of the Senate, laying the groundwork for attacks on everything from electric vehicles to clean energy funding and bolstering support for the fossil fuel i...

If you are a boarding school survivor or a descendant, resources are available from the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition at boardingschoolhealing.org. FORT SIMCOE HISTORICAL STATE PARK – Sharp barks occasionally broke the stillness of an October morning.

By Frida Garza. Staff Writer – The Grist. For farmers, planning for spring begins in the fall. That’s when seeds go into the ground. Later, if all goes well, roots begin to grow, followed by shoots and leaves. But that only happens when there’s enough water. “Unfortunately, there’s a lot of seeds that get sown in the fall, and without rain, they’re not going to germinate,” said Amy Hepworth, owner of Hepworth Farms, a seventh-generation family farm located just off the Hudson River in New York state. In the Hudson Valley, a corridor know...
By: Cristen Hemingway Jaynes. Extreme weather is causing an increase in undocumented migration between the United States and Mexico, suggesting more migrants could put their lives at risk crossing the border as the climate crisis causes droughts, severe storms and other adversities, a new study has found. The researchers discovered that people from Mexico’s agricultural regions were more likely to travel across the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in the wake of droughts. And when extreme weather conditions continued, they were not as likely to r...
By Amelia Schafer. ICT + Rapid City Journal. Besides promising federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina, Trump’s campaign has not established a solid plan for Indian Country. However, Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page book, does have some rough ideas for Indian Country. While the president-elect has publicly distanced himself from the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation’s highly controversial Project 2025, the project was written by many of his former staffers as a road map for Trump. A majority of the plan rel...
By Patrick McCarthy. Standing at the bank of a clear pool, Hazel Powless and Alma Lowry stared at the white waters falling from fifty feet above them. The waterfall, one of the Fellows Falls of the Tully Valley, feeds the main tributary to Onondaga Creek. Relentlessly flowing, the water rushed over rocks and moss. For the first time since the Onondaga Nation reacquired 1,000 acres of land, a group of four — two lawyers and two members of the Nation — trekked to the waterfall. The winding walk to the bank followed portions of a som...
