Indigenous Peoples in the US Vowing to Block Trump's Wall
- The Tohono O’odham Nation is a federally recognized tribe with a 75-mile-long reservation that crosses the U.S.-Mexico border in present-day Arizona. Its members – of which there are currently over 28,000 – have historically and freely crossed between the two nations, as they recognize no artificial borders. In a recent statement, the tribe blasted the White House for not consulting it before signing the executive order. The nation also warned that it would bring another Standing Rock to this administration’s doorstep if they went ahead with construction.
