This is the top of "Monument Hill," a sacred site to multiple tribes, that @DHSgov is dynamiting right now to build the #borderwall. It's part of the historic homeland of the O'odham. Apache are buried here. Trump waived the Native American Graves Protection Act to allow this.
@DHSgov I hiked up Monument Hill several months ago with @LaikenJordahl to get a lay of the land before actual construction had started. From here you see the vast wild UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve that is Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Now it's being destroyed.
@DHSgov @LaikenJordahl The #borderlands are indigenous lands. The border wall is an attack on the sovereignty of indigenous tribes. If you wondering what you would do when the United States government attacked the sovereign nations of the West for Manifest Destiny, its whatever you are doing right now.
@DHSgov @LaikenJordahl The #borderlands are beautiful beyond imagination. What is happening is a war against the wild, a war against diversity, history, indigenous sovereignty, a war waged by petty tyrants and their fearful followers.
