@freemo btw, navajos still being killed by no water i hear. A big ass in the face for those responsible?
🇳🇱
@admitsWrongIfProven You'd have to be more specific, and what this is related to (was it supposed to be a reply).
@freemo it was supposed to be an inciting comment to shore up anger about injustice happening. Not a reply or related to anything at all.

So foolish, staying inside the concentration camp. Their own fault? Guarantees given might only be good with a gun to the head, right?
Im confused what the issue is. I mean they dont have running water, that is of course a concern. But they are their own sovreign nation and seperate from the USA. That means if they want running water they are obligated to create their own infrastructure to do so. That means digging wells.
Which, they already do: https://watercode.navajo-nsn.gov/private_well_development.html
So im probably missing something here, sounds like their issue is with their own government not investing the money to build wells and bring drinking water to the people. Whats that have to do with our supreme court or the US's land? Why do they need access to that at all when they have access to ground water.
@freemo Hmm, i *might* have been misled here, but from what i heard there was a genocide and the survivors have been given a tiny bit of land and guaranteed water. Which is not being adhered to, as far as i hear?
To be clear: i have no issue with you, i just am pretty bummed by the global everyone-for-himself attitude. Making conversation in the face of destruction, not specific to you as a person.
I am not claiming to understand the situation, it was a genuine question.
Obviously as a native american myself the fact that we were genocided and mistreated isnt lost on me.
But they have access to water, ground water. Are you claiming the terms of the treaty was they would have justisdiction of the river? If so please share that and that would be enough info to convince me they have a right to it.
I know nothing about the details of the treaty that gave them the land. My assumption, and perhaps an incorrect one, is they were given a plot of land, that land has ground water on it so it includes access to water. Obviously the genocide was an injustice, where do you feel the resolution agreed upon, however, is not being honored?
