 guns, turn in your badges. Understand the indestructible spirit of indigenous
 people walking with prayers and sacrifice of our ancestors for sacred
 water.”

Four

WORDS
 FROM KANAHUS:

“Things
 are very disorganized at the jail, because they arrested 80+ people today.
 Earlier in the day they did not even have a list of all the people they had
 in custody. In a cell with 30 women and there are others in other cells. Sacheen Seitcham
 and Joe James Crow are also among those arrested as is cinematographer Rose
 Stiffarm. we were doing a peaceful prayer march through fields. Construction
 has been happening in important areas and some people chained themselves to machinery.
 The riot police put paper/cloth bags over the heads of those defenders. The
 people in the prayer march were away from the construction zone and just in a
 field when the riot police swarmed the field, they pepper sprayed people,
 threw underage girls on the ground and swept and arrested all the people on
 the field. Again, that was not supposed to happen, we were all in a peaceful
 prayer march away from construction. It was local, state and federal police
 that descended on them and arrested.”

The supervisor said they will all be charged with “criminal
 trespass” and “inciting a riot”.”
