Shoshone territory bombed

Shoshone territory bombed

A message from the most bombed nation on earth

Ian Zabarte is Principal Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians. You never know what is killing you when it is done in secret. I watched my uncle suffer from horrible cancer that ate away at his throat and my grandfather die of an auto-immune disease that is known to be caused by exposure to radiation.


More than 900 nuclear tests were conducted on Shoshone territory in the US. Residents still live with the consequences.

When the fallout came down, it killed the delicate flora and fauna, creating these huge vulnerabilities across thousands of square miles of Shoshone territory. The pine trees we use for food and heating were exposed, the plants we use for food and medicine were exposed, the animals we use for food were exposed. We were exposed.

In every other part of the world where there have been nuclear catastrophes or nuclear testing – such as Kazakhstan, Japan, even Chernobyl – there are health registries to monitor those who have been exposed, even if the numbers are kept artificially low in some places. We do not have that here in the US. We do not have that for Native American downwinders.

We continue to endure and we live with the understanding that the radiation is there on the ground, it is there in our plants, in our animals, and inside of our people.

Our custom is sharing, but when all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail, and that is what the US military has been doing, hammering the Shoshone with bombs.

Once again in the name of my people I return to the tempo.
Too bad if you don’t like them, I like them too much.
Always the same fight, with words I debate
Against their shitty politics and state secrets.
Knives fly low
At my place to die the birds do not hide
There is more than one people crying out for help
Quebec, Canada under an apartheid regime

You don’t know? That doesn’t mean you’re ignorant.
At school they tell you that they have discovered a continent
The truth is sometimes hard to hear
That’s why they’ve been hiding it for more than 150 years.
I’m fed up with lies, fed up with hypocrisy…
I’m fed up with the bloodstains on my country’s flag.
Under government supervision, we do not live in the same
world
Indian reserves, poor like the Third World
We are talking about the Holocaust, Rwanda, the millions of deaths in the
Congo
In North America, it’s a genocide in dribs and drabs.
Our leaders want status Indians
Because they are afraid of educated Indians

In the name of sold and uprooted children
On behalf of missing and murdered women
Women unknowingly tied up
A well-planned Genocide, and it goes on
Children of the British within the meaning of the law
The Indian Act of a country without faith or law
For them we are only a subject
Political prisoners in the name of his majesty
1969 and their fucking white paper
Or rather how to wash your hands with the blood of the innocent.
They dreamed of a white America
Assassins printed on their banknotes.
,
The ban on speaking our languages is Genocide.
Killing the Indian inside the human being is Genocide.
Stealing and selling children is Genocide
Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women is a
Genocide
The Canadian Constitution, is a Genocide
