Brenda Norrell: Mohawks inflamed at arrest of Indigenous Peoples

2007-11-12 | Indigenous delegates to the border on Tohono O'odham Nation land were outraged by the federal agents, hovering customs helicopter, profiteering contractors, federal spy tower, federal "cage" detention center and watching the arrest of a group of Indigenous Peoples, mostly women and children, by the US Border Patrol on an Indian Nation.

"We saw it all firsthand in America", said Bill Means, cofounder of the International Indian Treaty Council on Nov. 8, in an Indigenous delegation to the border here, south of Sells, to document the human rights abuses for a report to the United Nations. "Now we are going to take this wall down", Means said, after viewing the construction of a border vehicle barrier by contractors and National Guard on Tohono O'odham land.
