Water, both fresh and salt, is central to us Hawaiians. Historically central, to both our daily lives and our cosmology. We have an ancient saying, "Ka wai ola" (Water is life).
Their brag about erecting this abomination in a week tells me two things: 1) they did a shitty job (already shown to be true), and -- more importantly -- 2) no way they went through the proper EPA public commenting / permitting process. (Which would likely take nearly forever with a good ultimate chance of disapproval because of the environmental sensitivity of this unique ecosystem.)
Water is life, particularly from the viewpoint of indigenous peoples.
But this means nothing to the soulless revenants currently running Florida.
Only one beautifully written comment by Bad Bunny here?!
Where is the outrage?!
I know this area well. Fond memories of visiting the Miccosukee Indian Village and seeing Tiger Tiger. That was the name of a Miccosukee Indian rock band formed by brothers Lee and Stephen Tiger, sons of the Miccosukee Tribe's first chairman, Buffalo Tiger. They blended their Native American culture with American rock 'n' roll, becoming known for their unique sound and their efforts to promote both their tribe and Florida's environment.
I was a young girl at that time and learned so much about the indigenous culture of the Miccosukee Tribe and their commitment to the Everglades and the ecosystem.
To see this turned into a death camp for detainees without due process and upsetting the fragile system of the region is egregious!
Somhow, someway this has to stop NOW! Same goes for evey hideous "holding centers"
I stand with Betty! Betty is100% right in her assessment. As well as FLCE journalists. This is a double gut punch and by any means must be stopped! ✊️✊️💥
Water is our friend and the land our comfort to be calm and listen to joy in this world. This so called president is a Hitler and our only fight is in votes or in protests! Will ICE take us?? As I can’t drive, getting out is hard and a warped husband’s love on a jerk doesn’t help!

Beautifully written. Thank you. 💚

The white devils forget that the land and water have never belonged to them and will take them down in time. Power to Ms. Osceola and her people.
What is happening now is🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Learning about this context makes it all the more worse. Another selfish example of taking from and not respecting indigenous people in our country.
