Attorney General Merrick B. Garland Delivers Remarks at the 2021 White House Tribal Nations Summit | OPA | Department of Justice

…When it comes to building on our nation-to-nation partnership, we understand the importance of open, honest conversations approached with respect, humility and sincerity. This means listening to you as leaders of your governments and representatives of your citizens. It also means responding respectfully to the thoughtful recommendations and information that you share with us.

That is why the department has already held six major Tribal consultations this year — more than in any previous year. Establishing and maintaining strong lines of communication is particularly important when it comes to fulfilling our responsibility to act as partners in making Tribal communities safer.

We acknowledge that our country has historically failed to meet the crisis of missing or murdered Indigenous people with the urgency and the resources it demands. We also recognize that solving this crisis requires that we work in partnership with one another. The President’s Executive Order will build on and expand our efforts to do exactly that.

Section 2 of the Executive Order requires the development of a comprehensive strategy for federal law enforcement’s efforts to prevent and respond to violence against Native Americans. We are eager to work with Secretary of the Interior Haaland to develop this plan. Earlier this year, Secretary Haaland and I announced that we will be creating the joint commission, the one required by the Not Invisible Act, to address the persistent violence endured by Native American families and communities.

Today, the Justice Department will announce the launch of a steering committee to address the crisis of missing or murdered Indigenous people. The committee will be co-chaired by the Office of the Deputy Attorney General and the Office of Tribal Justice. It will work with other agencies to develop the comprehensive plan that will be due to the President.

Under Section 3 of the Executive Order, the Justice Department will work with the Interior Department and other agencies to develop guidance and technical assistance on several issues, including the development of Tribal Community Response Plans.

The Justice Department has already started piloting these plans, which are driven by community needs, led by Tribes and supported by federal law enforcement. It is our hope that we will advance meaningful responses to cases of missing or murdered Indigenous people and serve as a blueprint moving forward…

Hillside destruction near Green Island, Hanover, Jamaica — Petchary’s Blog

The parish of Hanover is the smallest on the island, but has a distinct charm of its own. As the road winds along the coastline, there are lovely views of small coves, the calm waters fringed deeply with mangroves on one side. On the other side of the road are hilly pastures, some with Spanish […]

Decades ago, corporations and governments invented the traits we now call ‘human nature.’ COP26 has shown ‘consumers’ that buying something ‘different’ is not working. 13 November 2021 | Graham Peebles | Euroasia Review The natural environment has been poisoned, vandalized and trashed in accordance with the demands and values of the all-pervasive socio-economic system, and as long as […] […]

The world’s first anti-vaccination movement spread fears of half-cow babies

ANTIVAX-HISTORY – The world’s first anti-vaccination movement spread fears of half-cow babies. 1,240 words, by Jess McHugh (Post special). Two photos.

In the early 19th century, British people finally had access to the first vaccine in history, one that promised to protect them from smallpox, among the deadliest diseases of the era. Many Britons were skeptical of the vaccine, however, with fears extending well beyond the fatigue and sore arm that go along with many modern shots. The side effects they dreaded were far more terrifying: blindness, deafness, ulcers, a gruesome skin condition called “cowpox mange” – even sprouting hoofs and horns…
