Missed this. Here is a moving piece from January by Julia Good Fox in a leading Native American publication called Indian Country Today, informing indigenous people here about the Nakba of the Palestinians and relating the "apartheid" conditions of the West Bank. Good Fox says that Israel removes the names of villages and discourages the use of Arabic. Familiar, eh.
As indigenous peoples, we can supplement our local and tribal self-determination activity by setting aside just a few hours to locate and work through an international political or human rights organization that promotes informed solidarity and intelligent mutual support with the Palestinians. In doing so, we can bring to a halt the U.S. and Israel’s attempt to re-create “Indian country” in the Occupied Territories.
