DoomsdaysCWThe last part of this section (The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIM</a> Song of Anguish) of chapter 8 of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KleeBenally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KleeBenally</a>'s book <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoSpiritualSurrender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoSpiritualSurrender</a> is something that I can relate to. After my negative experience with an AIM member, I formed an alliance with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RobertaBlackgoat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RobertaBlackgoat</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorbinHarney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorbinHarney</a> -- and told their stories (as well as providing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a>). And yeah, not all resistance groups are created equal!"AIM has been extraordinarily gloried but they weren’t the only radical <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> organizations operating then; communities with forces such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JanetMcCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JanetMcCloud</a> fighting for fishing rights in so-called Washington, Corbin Harney resisting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearColonialism</a> in so-called Nevada, grandmothers <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KatherineSmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KatherineSmith</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PaulineWhitesinger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PaulineWhitesinger</a>, and Roberta Blackgoat fighting coal mining and forced relocation on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMesa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackMesa</a>, and so many more have fought for decades to protect sacred lands and waters. Occasionally AIM would be there alongside those struggles and sometimes they would not be welcome. In spite of this, the AIM song still echoes and invokes the spirit of resistance in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tulalip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tulalip</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternShoshone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WesternShoshone</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Din%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diné</a> frontlines, and far beyond."Page 184, Klee Benally, No Spiritual Surrender <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterProtectors</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoUraniumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoUraniumMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigMountainResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigMountainResistance</a>

DoomsdaysCWThis hits home for me. I worked with Klee's family and provided <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> when I was reporting on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigMountainResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigMountainResistance</a> years ago.
