VICEさんのインスタグラム写真 - (VICEInstagram)「As President Donald Trump’s attempts to reverse the results of the U.S. election continue to make headlines, construction of his signature undertaking—the border wall with Mexico—is ramping up in the final weeks of his presidency.⁠ ⁠ Along the way, contractors and border patrol agents are bulldozing and dynamiting ancestral and sacred lands, causing irreparable damage along the Texas and Arizona borders with Mexico, which will only worsen until President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, Indigenous leaders say.⁠ ⁠ Biden has campaigned to stop construction immediately once he’s in office and said he’d end Trump’s national emergency that has served as the basis for rushed construction. He also said he’d uphold tribal land protections and Indigenous sacred sites, and will give tribes more authority over public lands going forward.⁠ ⁠ “The blasting and bulldozing has caused significant, irrevocable desecration of sacred sites and the burial sites of our ancestors,” said Tohono O’odham Nation Chairman Ned Norris Jr., whose community straddles the Arizona-Mexico border. “Halting the border wall construction is the most urgent immediate step to prevent further destruction.”⁠ ⁠ 🔗Read more at the link in bio. ⁠ 📷: Tribal Chair of the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, Juan Mancias.
