Honoring the Battle of Greasy Grass
“We carry the spirit of a People who are victorious!”: Honoring the Battle of Greasy Grass – NDN COLLECTIVE
In a victory that transcends time, the Battle of Little Bighorn would become one of the most studied in history. Known as the “Battle of Greasy Grass” to the Lakota, and as “Victory Day” to many Native people today, this battle would also become a symbol of the continued plight of Indigenous Peoples to retain our traditional homelands, culture, and lifeways.
Zapatista Delegation
The moment when the first EZLN delegation sets foot in European soil, some 500 years after the Spanish colonisers did the opposite journey, bringing genocide, militarism, disease, you name it to what we now know as South America. The Zapatistas actually disembarked on the same coast where the Spanish conquistadores left back then, and upon arriving they declared “You never managed to conquer us because we’re still here, resisting”.
They also renamed Europe as “slumik k’ ajxemk’ op” which in their language means ‘unsubmissive land’ that ‘fights back’
This first delegation is made of 3 women, 2 men, and 1 ‘otroa’ (the way the zapatistas refer to the non binary people) They arrived by boat and the location is full of symbolism. But it it’s only the first EZLN squadron to arrive, there are 160-200 more zapatistas due to arrive in the next few weeks (they’ll travel by plane) which will make the total of the EZLN delegation to “the other Europe’ (another way they call what we call Europe)
The airborne ‘invasion’ (another way they call their travels here 🙂 is at the moment still stuck in Mexico coz the Gov there is refusing to give passport to all of them. Visas apparently are sorted though.
or the time being there are 100’s of events organised throughout the Spanish State, as well as in places like Germany, Italy, Greece, France, and more.
Also worth noting that the man saying bye to the Zapatistas in the video is the German captain of La Montaña, the vessel that brought them from Mexico in a 50 day long sail.

Seniors taking a stand
Saul Arbess, 82, said when the officers saw more than 100 seniors marching up the road, they just rolled up their police tape that marks the exclusion zone at Road 2000 and left.
Alison Acker, 92, was there on Tuesday, as she had been in Clayoquot Sound during the famed War in the Woods in the early 1990s. She was arrested there and was prepared to be arrested now.
