Not even just Canadians, but everyone else also has to stop acting surprised when they find out Canada commits/ed war crimes & has committed genocide and still actively does it and isn't any better than the United States. What is there to be surprised about?

So I was looking up native energy sources for research on the uranium mines affecting the Diné when I found this, filed July 30th so not that long ago.

Lumen technologies (CenturyLink) has been on tribal land for 10 years without any permit or compensation to the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation (Wasco, Paiute, and Warm Springs)

There is one article I was able to find besides the filed paperwork, please please please help me boost this. It's not unlikely that the tribes will end up needing public pressure to have this fixed and it'd be very hard to build that up when nobody has even heard of their case, you know? Like the news isn't even talking about it.

Please help me spread this around

From the document, filed July 31, 2024:

In November 2023, frustrated with the lack of progress, the Tribe sent a letter to Lumen, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D. The Tribe expressed concern about the fact that Lumen, and its predecessors, had been occupying the lands within the Warm Springs Reservation for more than ten years without a valid easement or compensation to the Tribe.

The Tribe acknowledged that Lumen has been working on preparing an application to the BIA to seek a renewal of the right of way under 25 C.F.R. Part 162 but noted that any renewal of the right-of-way requires Tribal consent.

As of the date of the letter, the Tribe had been unsuccessful in engaging Lumen in substantive negotiation regarding, among other things, the appropriate compensation to the Tribe for a renewed right-of-way. The Tribe requested that Lumen engage the necessary personnel with decision-making authority in this matter and diligently engage in negotiations with the Tribe. It also notified Lumen that if the parties had not resolved outstanding commercial terms for a renewed right-of-way by March 1, 2024, the Tribe would communicate a request to the BIA to initiate a trespass action.

The Tribe and Lumen have not reached agreement on the commercial terms of a renewed right-of-way. Rather than rely on the BIA to initiate a trespass action, the Tribe has determined to avail itself of its federal common law right to sue to protect its sovereign interests in the lands of the Warm Springs Reservation. See generally Swinomish Indian Tribal Community v. BNSF Railway Company

Lumen is trespassing on the Warm Springs Reservation. Lumen’s trespass is knowing, conscious, and willful because Lumen knows that it does not have the Tribe’s consent to use land within the Warm Springs Reservation.

The Tribe is entitled to compensatory damages resulting from Lumen’s trespass in an amount to be proven at trial. The Tribe is also entitled to equitable relief in the form of an award of unjust enrichment for the value of Lumen’s profits made by its trespass on the Warm Springs Reservation in an amount to be proven at trial.
