Indigenous groups leading the movement against Line 3 include the Giniw Collective, founded by Tara Houska; Winona LaDuke’s Honor the Earth; the Rise Coalition and environmental organization MN350, both founded by Nancy Beaulieu; and Camp Migizi. To “deal with” the protesters, Enbridge opened an escrow account to reimburse Minnesota state and local agencies for the cost of policing their private interests. After Minnesota’s Department of Natural Resources, which issued the permits for Line 3, law enforcement agencies received the largest payout from the escrow fund. Conflicts between protesters and the specially formed Northern Lights Task Force escalated to the police using LRADs (long range acoustic devices, also known as sound cannons), helicopters, rubber bullets, tear gas, and techniques they referred to as “pain compliance.” All this was paid for by Enbridge, and planned for in collaboration with Minnesota law enforcement based on case studies from Standing Rock.
Out of approximately nine hundred Line 3–related arrests since 2020, at least ninety-one protesters were charged with felonies. As of March 2022, sixty-six felony charges remained open. These numbers do not include the charges against Indigenous activists transferred to tribal courts. Felony charges, which vary from state to state but typically apply to violent crime and carry heavy penalties, are largely unprecedented for ecological protest. Direct actions along Line 3 were uniformly passive, involving no violence or property damage. Under most circumstances, such actions would result in the relatively minor misdemeanor charge of trespassing. But prosecutors wanted to create deterrents, and found creative ways to charge protesters with more serious crimes. Water protectors were charged with “assisted suicide” for climbing into and occupying sections of unused pipe, and “felony theft” for costing Enbridge money in the form of work stoppages by locking themselves to equipment or fences. Both carry penalties of up to ten years in prison. Meanwhile, a number of Line 3 activists subjected to “pain compliance” have sustained permanent facial paralysis in the form of Bell’s palsy.
As of January 2022, Enbridge had paid out $4.8 million to fund anti-protest policing.
Imagine if all these resources — the state’s, the corporation’s, law enforcement’s, the lawyers’ — went toward averting the mass extinction coming for us all, instead.

Indie rock industrial complex probably suggests the quality of the musicians I put under the category, though this was not my intention as you can guess right now. No, I merely wanted to point out the fact most of these musicians chart a similar path – their debuts shock us, until their next releases let them become a part of the establishment without the spirit they had in their early works. I agree, this can apply to many scenes, but the modern indie rock seems to have the most of these examples. I mean, even someone like Bon Iver – who is an institution at this point – continues to astound us, yet would Vernon be able to surprise us in the future? Sure, his latest feels weird in a good way, so I think he does appear to be familiar with what I'm trying to tell here.

Janet Varney, the voice of Korra in TLOK (2012-2014) has announced that she doesn’t want to voice Korra in the future; she wants an Indigenous voice actor to voice Korra (Korra is from the Water Tribe in the world of Avatar, which is inspired by Indigenous culture in the real world). It’s possible other voice actors will make the same choice.

Aang - previously voiced as a child by Zach Tyler Eisen in ATLA (2005-2008) and as an adult by D. B. Sweeney in TLOK (2012-2013)

Zuko - see above
“Aang[’s] friends”
Other
Three theatrical animated movies are currently in development at Avatar Studios
Each movie has a standalone story-- they’re not a trilogy-- so the story of this movie won’t be continued in the next movie after it
The second movie is focused on Zuko (source: Avatar News)
The third movie is focused on the new earth Avatar after Aang and Korra (source: Avatar News)
The image above is official canon art of the Gaang as adults, but it’s from the lead-up to the release of The Legend of Korra in 2012, not from this upcoming movie. Fun fact: it was drawn by Joaquim Dos Santos, co-showrunner of TLOK and director of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (2024)!

by and large tho upon rewatch of the og series like. i don’t have a lot of complaints! the big one is the treatment of iroh, who gets framed as this fuzzy soft helpful harmless uncle when he is a war criminal, but i also think that like. 1) it’s a kid’s show and 2) that on its own is a commentary about his character. he is complicit! he tells zuko you are the only one who can redeem OUR family. he means himself! more on iroh and the politics of violence in atla in another post LOL i don’t want to put it here
obviously there are issues!! with the way that bryke smushed together all kinds of “asian inspiration” but on the other hand, there’s an episode of the braving the elements podcast with migizi pensoneau where he talks about how there is like. care and attention paid to these details, a sort of Intentionality, that feels like respecting cultures moreso than just like. using them as an aesthetic, and i think that can be found in a lot of ways - using actual chinese calligraphy, the VERY intentional and thoughtful ties to bending to real martial arts, a diversity of influences that are unique to each nation.
obvs it’s still white guys profiting off of all of this! and almost exclusively white ppl voicing these characters, including some accented characters like guru pathik (YOWZA! not good). but. damn! that show fucked!

The thunderer arose from the waters, having claimed another pyrrhic victory over the masters of the tides, and as the northwind blew its last breath of the longest winter, his people were lost. As his wings spread out, he found with anger they had forgotten him: and his wrath wrung out against his brothers. The children of his father perished, and were weak once more. Gaining control of his temper, he knew that they would all soon be destroyed if they were not helped. He drove himself back to war with the great serpent, horned and pawed, and escaped with the manidoo of those lost in the long winter: nooke, adik, mooz, bizhiki, waabizheshi, namens, mikinak, migizi, maang, and many more. As they had left their pieces and parts behind, the manidoog of each was weak, and with concentrated effort to save them and mankind, they were bound together. These became the powerful Doodem-manidoog, and bound each unit of man with its own progeny, and the people rejoiced.

"The Sabbath is not “for” anything; the Sabbath is only for itself—a testament to the fact that our value isn’t defined by work, but is inherent in us. We are not aiming to rejuvenate ourselves for the work week, but only to be. We do not earn the Sabbath; it simply arrives. It does not care if we have finished our work, if we are ready for it. It intrudes; it supersedes.
This vision of rest might appear to take us away from the work of political struggle—but other readings help us to refuse this zero sum approach. Crucially, our rest periods force us to turn toward one another, knitting us together as a collective. In many cases, the community is the very condition of rest, what makes it possible. Prayer requires a minyan, a group of ten, and even for those prayers recited alone, according to the 16th-century Kabbalist the Arizal, we should begin by saying, “I accept upon myself the obligation to love my fellow as myself,” making communal what is otherwise solitary.
How could the grand suspension of Shmita proceed—the harvest foregone, the workbench left empty—without the pooling of resources? If you return to the congregation every Shabbat, then the congregation is there the rest of the week. They are there in new life, and in sudden death. They are there to watch the children, to rebuild when the house catches fire, to tend to the sick, to defend the weak.
The scholar Bonnie Honig has pointed out that the Sabbath is determined not by the seasons or the moon or the tides, but simply by a communal practice of counting the days—a reminder that we collectively make the world we live in.
In the Jewish tradition, the communal structure of rest is also the basis for redistribution: During Shmita, debts are forgiven and the poor can glean from the farmers’ crops—a process intensified during the Jubilee, when accumulated property is reallocated.
The conception of private ownership itself is threatened by this arrangement, in which we are continually reminded that what we think of as our property really belongs to God. These cycles of relief have a spiritual component as well: Those who typically lack the means for prolonged study are given the opportunity to pursue it. Shabbat has been said to serve a similar function. The sages noted that, while it might be intuitive to expect a scholar to read Torah on Shabbat and a worker to welcome the chance to sleep, these roles might actually be reversed: The openness of the Sabbath allows the worker to delight in study, and the scholar to rest his mind.
The philosopher Giorgio Agamben has linked Shabbat’s refusal of “use” and creation of “new use”—the idea that we go about our everyday lives not to support production but to enable festivity—to the possibilities of the general strike. We also heard echoes of Shabbat in political occupations like Occupy Wall Street or the water protectors’ Camp Migizi—places where struggle and living are fused."

When bright and spirited Norvia moves from the country to the city, she has to live by one new rule: Never let anyone know you're Ojibwe. Growing up on Beaver Island, Grand-p?re told Norvia stories--stories about her ancestor Migizi, about Biboonke-o-nini the Wintermaker, about the Crane Clan and the Reindeer Clan. He sang her songs in the old language, and her grandmothers taught her to make story quilts and maple candy. On the island, Norvia was proud of her Ojibwe heritage.Things are different in the city. Here, Norvia's mother forces her to pretend she's not Native at all--even to Mr. Ward, Ma's new husband, and to Vernon, Norvia's irritating new stepbrother. In fact, there are a lot of changes in the city: ten-cent movies, gleaming soda shops, speedy automobiles, ninth grade. It's dizzying for a girl who grew up on the forested shores of Lake Michigan.Despite the move, the upheaval, and the looming threat of world war, Norvia and her siblings--all five of them--are determined

Im talking about the Migizi Organization building that housed numerous records, photos, and other forms of archived documentation of Native people.
Thank you for clarifying! I’ve actually donated to Migizi already because yes, you are correct, their office was affected by the riots.
“While many businesses and offices were destroyed and looted all around MIGIZI Wednesday night, protestors used the MIGIZI offices as a makeshift triage center, providing medical assistance to those suffering from the effects of tear gas[...]” (source)
They’re in a lot of the lists organized to help out local business and the ‘movement’ you are condemning - and the anti-police sentiment is something they are fully in support of.
“The MPD has a long history of violence against Indigenous people and people of color. The American Indian Movement was founded in Minneapolis … as a direct response to unchecked brutality being perpetrated by the Minneapolis Police Department upon our community members,” Metropolitan Urban Indian Directors (MUID) said in a joint statement. (source)
No protest can be clean-cut, as there are often too many people and yes, not all of them will be the ideal protestor. That doesn’t dilute the message of the movement as a whole.
MIGIZI shared on Facebook: “Despite the flames, we as a community burn brighter. Thank you all for all the support we’ve been receiving. We look forward to showing our resilience once again.”
To those who want to support the organization - here’s the facebook page where they’re collecting donations!

Hey guys, there is this DOPE organization called MIGIZI that helps support Native American youth. Unfortunately, their building was damaged in the fires during protests in Minneapolis. Please consider donating or finding other ways to support.
