* Update from the Field
A mother and calf lead the way, running to escape those who have oppressed them. Hundreds of wild buffalo have been confined in government traps since January, and nearly 150 calves were born in captivity. BFC file photo. Click photo for larger image.
By the time you read these words, Yellowstone's Stephens Creek bison trap will be empty. Most of the groups of buffalo released from Stephens Creek fled quickly from the trap and their captors, without having to be coaxed by horsemen. On Tuesday, fifty-eight adults and about ten calves were also released from the Corwin Springs trap and thankfully, they were not loaded onto livestock trailers as we feared, and no hazing horsemen needed to tell them to flee. Patrols report that the lead cow and her calf set the pace full speed ahead and the buffalo ran over eight miles south towards Yellowstone's interior.
Young buffalo just like these were not released with their families from Corwin Springs, as Yellowstone promised they would be. They remain in captivity and have been handed over to USDA-APHIS for unknown, experimental purposes. BFC file photos by Peter Bogusko and Stephany Seay. Click photos for larger images.
Unfortunately, Yellowstone didn't keep their word to release all trapped buffalo: Thirty young buffalo - yearlings and two-year olds - remain locked inside the Corwin Springs trap and will not be released. They have been surrendered to the USDA-Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) for unknown, experimental reasons, which BFC is working to discover. These young buffalo had to watch as their families were set free, fleeing their oppressors, while they were forced to remain behind. This is a sneaky, dishonorable, back-door move by Yellowstone, who gave no public notice, nor sought any public input, on a decision to hand over public wildlife to an agency known for maltreatment of wild buffalo. Below is an action alert to Yellowstone Superintendent Wenk, which addresses this point. We also suggest that people contact USDA-APHIS representative Brian McCluskey, to ask him what APHIS intends to do with these buffalo and to let him know you oppose their possession of wild buffalo and want them set free as Yellowstone promised.
Bull buffalo run at full speed, through a neighborhood near Duck Creek, after being chased by two DOL agents on ATVs. The bulls kept running even after the agents retreated, and bolted out onto the highway. The irresponsible DOL agents gave no warning to motorists that these frightened and upset bulls could be headed in their direction. BFC was immediately on the highway putting up signs to warn traffic. BFC file photo by Stephany. Click photo to view larger image.
On Monday morning volunteers at camp and patrols in the field were alerted to the chop! chop! chop! of the MT Department of Livestock's (DOL) helicopter. We were in position, immediately ready for a big hazing operation, but it never came and the helicopter soon disappeared after disrupting the morning with its obnoxious presence. The DOL did end up harassing some buffalo; ten bull bison were chased off of the Koelzer property, where the Duck Creek bison trap is located. The agents aggravated the bulls into a stampede, causing them to flee the property, bolt down Duck Creek Road, and run full speed onto Highway 191 where they were lucky not to be killed by traffic.
Mama buffalo, new calves, and other family members were hazed by six government horsemen on Wednesday. Initially chased off of a private hobby ranch, the buffalo were pursued for miles by agents through Gallatin National Forest lands where there are never any cattle, and where protected grizzly bears - extremely sensetive to human commotion - are trying to make a living. BFC file photo by Stephany. Click photo for larger image.
On Wednesday, DOL and Yellowstone horsemen, along with Park Service, Forest Service, and Gallatin County law enforcement hazed a family group of buffalo, including seven newborn calves, off of the Deep Well Ranch owned by hobby rancher Pat Povah; this single conflict area near the South Fork of the Madison River is a prime candidate for a fence, or a hired herder. Fence in the conflict and let the buffalo roam! The buffalo were pursued by six horsemen for over nine miles through the thick timber of cattle-free Gallatin National Forest lands into habitat where grizzly bears are currently active. Another group of buffalo, including three new calves, were also caught up in the haze. Agent riders continued hazing the buffalo north on Highway 191, across the Madison River, then into Yellowstone for nearly two more miles. Government bison hazing operations that harm buffalo and adversely impact protected grizzly bears are currently being legally challenged by the Alliance for the Wild Rockies. Visit BFC's home page to learn about this law suit.
Some new calves have had a little more time than usual to develop and grow strong before the government's big hazing operations begin. As calving season is still in its peak, other baby buffalo as well as nursing or pregnant mothers will not be so lucky when the Montana Department of Livestock's helicopter descends upon this fragile, wildlife-rich ecosystem. BFC file photo by Stephany. Click photo for larger image.
For this week, Yellowstone National Park has refused to allow the DOL to haze buffalo deep into Yellowstone due to lingering snowpack and flooding conditions that have slowed green-up on the buffalo's summer range. We do, however, anticipate big hazing operations to begin next week. Grizzly bears remain very active in the area, while some buffalo are still recovering from extreme winter conditions. Many buffalo have yet to give birth and calves are still being born every day. Hazing operations are disruptive to all area wildlife but they take a particularly heavy toll on on pregnant buffalo and newborn calves, even causing injury and death, as sadly demonstrated in this BFC video.
Please see below to take action for America's last wild buffalo. Your continued actions over the years have made a huge difference, and this year helped prevent the slaughter of nearly 800 wild buffalo, helped gain some new habitat access, helped force decision-makers to rethink the status quo, and helped draw attention to the senseless acts of violence against these last wild buffalo. Change is slow to come, but it is on the way. Thank you!
ROAM FREE!

* TAKE ACTION!
Bull buffalo challenge one another for the opportunity to court females; wild bison advocates must challenge government agencies and livestock interests for the right of all wild buffalo to roam free. BFC file photo by Darrell Geist. Click photo to view larger image.
1. Contact Gallatin National Forest Supervisor Mary Erickson and demand that she enforce the Forest Service's promise to the public that "Currently, hazing operations would cease if there was evidence of grizzlies being active in the area" (IBMP EIS page 565). There are grizzly bears all over the Gallatin National Forest west of Yellowstone National Park right now, so she should not allow the DOL to engage in hazing operations there. Please insist that she allow buffalo year-round habitat on the Gallatin National Forest. TAKE ACTION!
2. Contact Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk. Thank him for releasing most buffalo, and demand to know why the Park surrendered 30 young wild buffalo to APHIS for experimental purposes. Remind him of the Park's responsibility to protect grizzly bears from impacts of hazing, and tell him to stay the course and not allow the DOL to haze buffalo into Yellowstone. Please also ask him to facilitate a National Park Service response to the letter from Congress. As always, continue to encourage him to protect America's last wild buffalo population, not cater to Montana's livestock interests. In addition to sending an electronic message you can call Superintendent Wenk at 307-344-2003. TAKE ACTION!
3. Contact Your Members of Congress and urge them to bring an end to the Interagency Bison Management Plan and re-direct federal funding towards habitat-based solutions for wild buffalo. If your Members of Congress are unfamiliar with this issue, urge them to contact Buffalo Field Campaign. TAKE ACTION!
4. Write Letters to the Editor in support of protecting America's last wild buffalo. TAKE ACTION!
Thank You! Spread the word to save these herds! Please share these action links on FaceBook, blogs, etc.
------------------------------
* Spend Summer in Yellowstone with BFC!
BFC's summer tabling crew is forming, and we could use a few more volunteers. Come to Yellowstone country and help us talk with millions of visitors to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. BFC provides food, lodging, camping in and near the Park, gear, and transportation to and from our table in the Park. We ask for at least a three week commitment in order to accommodate training and orientation. This is a great opportunity to get involved and advocate for America's last wild buffalo! Please contact Tony for more information.
------------------------------
* BFC Wish List: Darrell Needs a New Computer!!
BFC's stellar and hard-working Habitat Coordinator, Darrell Geist, is in need of a new computer. Darrell's current computer has been a faithful work horse for years, helping Darrell craft important briefing papers, develop extensive public comments, engage in solidarity work with Tribal interests, draft legal strategies, conduct vast amounts of research, disseminate critical information to colleagues and decision-makers, and has been a critical tool in keeping wild buffalo and their need to access habitat in the face of everyone. Having given all its able to give, Darrell's computer is ready to retire.
Please help BFC's Habitat Coordinator acquire a new computer! Darrell's dream machine can be found here.

Privatization: The Road toHell
byJim Hightower
Billionaires are different from you and me, forobvious reasons, including the fact that they buy much pricier baublesthan we do.
A sleek car costing $100,000? Why, for them, that'sjust an easy impulse purchase. A few million bucks for a Matisseoriginal? Go ahead — it'll liven up the hallway. How about throwing a fatwad of cash at a university to get an academic chair named for you? Sure,it's all part of the fun of living in BillionaireLand.
Then there is the top crust of the upper-crust — suchmegalomaniacal megabillionaires as the Koch brothers. Using money fromtheir industrial conglomerate, their foundation and their personalfortunes, these two far-out, laissez-faire extremists are literallybuying public policy. Their purchases of everything from politicians tothe tea party help them push the privatization of all things public andthe elimination of pesky regulations and taxes that crimp theirstyle.
To advance their plutocratic privatization cause,brother Charles has even gone on a shopping spree for an invaluablebauble that most of us didn't even know was for sale: academic freedom.And it's surprisingly cheap!
For only $1.5 million, Koch bought a big chunk of theeconomics department of Florida State University a couple of years ago.His donation gives him control of a new "academic" program atthis public institution to indoctrinate students in his self-servingpolitical theories.
The billionaire gets to screen all applicants, vetoany he deems insufficiently ideological, and sign off on all new hires.Also, the department head must submit yearly reports to Koch about thefaculty's speeches, publications and classes, and he evaluates thefaculty based on "objectives" that he sets.
Charles has made similar purchases of academicfreedom at two other state universities, Clemson and West Virginia. Also,in a May 20 piece at Alternet.org, investigative researcher LeeFang reveals that Koch has paid $419,000 to buy into Brown University's"political theory project," $3.6 million to establish TroyUniversity's "center for political economy" and $700,000 for apiece of Utah State's Huntsman School of Business, which now has the"Charles G.
Koch Professor of Political Economy."
Imagine the screams of outrage we'd hear from theKochs if a labor union were doing this.
A recent article in The Onion, the satiricalnewsweekly, printed a downsize-big-government spoof that Charles andDavid would love to turn into reality. The parody disclosed thatPresident Obama had come up with a surefire plan to balance the federalbudget: Rob Fort Knox! "I've got the blueprints," Obama isquoted as saying, "and I think I found a way out through a drainagepipe."
Unfortunately, with today's political climatedominated by howling winds from the far-right fringe, there's no longerany room in American culture for satire. Sure enough, some laissez-faireextremists at such Koch-funded corporate fronts as Cato Institute andHeritage Foundation are presently howling for the government to sell allof America's gold stored in Fort Knox. Noting that we have billions worthof bullion in the vaults, a fellow from Heritage made this keenobservation: "It's just sort of sitting there."
Uh, yeah, professor. Like Mount Rushmore, the GrandCanyon, the Lincoln Memorial and other national assets — being there isthe point.
Yet these ivory tower ideologues are using thecurrent brouhaha over the budget deficit as an opening to push theirloopiest fantasies of selling off all of America's public properties,facilities, systems and treasures to create a no-government, plutocraticparadise. Just spread our public goods out on tables, like a flea marketfrom hell, and invite the global rich to buy it all.
For example, a fellow from another Koch-funded front,the American Enterprise Institute, observes that the government couldraise billions of dollars to retire that pesky deficit simply by sellingour interstate highway system. Americans would then have to pay tollsforever to the corporate owners, but hey, he exclaims, remember thattolls "work for the River Styx, why not the Beltway?"
What a perfect metaphor for privatization! In ancientmythology, dead souls must pay a toll to be ferried across the River Styxand enter the depths of hell.

WeatherModification: Is it for Real??
Humans have long tried toinfluence the weather. Sometimes it's an Indigenous shaman doing araindance to bring rain for a community's much needed crops. Thatis a positive way to influence the weather.
Nowadays, weather modification is part of warfare. It is very, verynegative.
We hear a lot of stories about the major tsunamis, earthquakes andtornadoes being caused by the NWO entitities using HAARP High FrequencyActive Auroral Research Program, electromagnetic EMR energy andionospheric heaters with the intent to depopulate large areas of theEarth.
Many, if not most, people have never heard of HAARP and will likelydismiss it as far-fetched. Yet some serious scientists andresearchers like Leuren Moret and Rosalie Bertell are certain that HAARPis being used to wage weather warfare on humanity.
Recently, there has been a rumour flying around the internet about acoming earthquake to America's midwest. Rumours are frequent andoften false. We also know there is a lot of fear mongering goingon. What are we to believe?
Rosalie Bertell is an octogenarian who has devoted much of her life tothe study and exposure of atomic energy and its harmful effects. She has a doctorate in biometrics and led the Bhopal and ChernobylMedical Commissions. Bertell, president of the InternationalInstitute of Concern for Public Health in Toronto, wrote a book called,"Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War". In it shestates the following:
"The US military's intention to undertake environmentalengineering, especially to gain control of weather, is welldocumented. Apparently the DOD experimented with lightning andhurricanes in Project Skyfire and Project Stormfury during the VietnamWar. Zbigniew Brzezinski, who founded the Institute on CommunistAffairs at Columbia University and was an advisor on foreign affairs toPresidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, discussed ways of using anelectronic beam to ionise or de-ionise the atmosphere over a givenarea. According to Lowell Ponte, author of The Cooling, themilitary also investigated whether lasers and chemicals could damage theozone layer over an enemy, causing damage to crops and human healththrough exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Canada was apartner in this research right from its inception. As early as1962, it launched satellites into the ionosphere and began stimulatingthe plasma apparently just to see what would happen."
The UN General Assembly got very upset. On December 10, 1976, theyapproved a Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other HostileUse of Environmental Modification Techniques.
Then such programs were labeled "peaceful" and many went covertto continue. HAARP was built in Alaska in 1990 and is nowfunctioning along with at least 16 other such facilities around theglobe. Its stated purpose is to "understand, simulate andcontrol ionospheric processes that might alter the performance ofcommunication and surveillance systems". Itscapabilities include modifying the weather and affecting human healthwith various frequencies of EMR.
We cannot explain the science and history here but there is now plenty ofinformation out there on HAARP and what it can do. It lookslike they are the ones burning big holes in the ozone and causing allsorts of rumours, true and false, about climate change. We can seewhere all of this has led.
Dr. Bertell continues, "The US and Canada had been cooperating inweather modification experiments since 1958. Black Brant rockets,made in Winnipeg, Manitoba, had been used for many years to propelChemical Release Modules (CRM's) into the upper atmosphere. InFebruary 1983, CRM releases into the ionosphere caused an aurora borealisover Churchill, Manitoba.
"The Churchill CRM programme involved various barium compounds...Allare combustible and most are destructive of the ozone layer. In a1980 programme, some 2000 kilograms of chemicals were dumped into theatmosphere including 100 kg of lithium. Lithium is a highlyreactive toxic chemical that is very easily ionised by the sun'srays. This increases the density of electrons in the loweratmosphere and creates free radicals that are highly reactive and capableof causing further chemical changes.
"The amount of energy in the charged particles of the ionosphere isenormous in "Earth terms". The most energetic particlesproduced on Earth are those emitted from radioactive materials,especially those created in nuclear reactions, most of which have energybelow 1.5 MeV (million electron volts)... The energy of protonsoriginating from intergalactic space ranges from 100 MeV up toastronomically high amounts....
"Chemical experimentation with the Earth's atmosphere wasundoubtedly linked to the military's desire to tap into this immensesource of energy and to control weather. Reports on theenvironmental impact of these experiments are non-existent since theypredate the legislation that would have required it..."
Dr. Bertell then tells us about the second type of weather warfareexperimentation using 'waves' and goes on to explain what waves are andhow they function.
She then states, "As early as 1966 researchers at PennsylvaniaState University built and operated an ionospheric heater, usingelectromagnetic energy to stimulate or heat the bottom of theionosphere..."
That was nearly 50 years ago!!
Today HAARP continues this work on a much grander scale and is stillexpanding. HAARP researchers also probe the Earth itself. This has led to the suspicions and evidence that they are causingearthquakes.
Leuren Moret suspects that HAARP triggered the earthquake in Japan. She also believes that "The ultimate culpability for thetectonic/nuke bombing of Japan and the targeting of Japan, the westcoasts of Canada and the U.S., Mexico and Hawaii lies with aninternational war crimes racketeering organization, led by bloodlines inthe City of London financial complex (including the Rothschild Family),the British monarchy and specific noble bloodlines, and the Rockefellerfamilies. These interests control the world uranium industry, aremajor landowners of the planet, and have espoused global depopulationprograms for at least 100 years.
The specific agencies in nation-states carrying out these tectonicattacks and radiation programs do so as part of Agenda 21, a depopulationprogram enunciated when Henry Kissinger was U.S. Secretary of State, anda deep cover operative of this war crimes racketeeringorganization."
A lot of questions arise such as "What is climate change reallyabout?", "Why are these dangerous experiments allowed tocontinue?" and "Is someone really deliberately causing thesecatastrophes that are killing millions of people around theworld??".
You'll need to do some more research yourself if you want to understandthis topic better and how best to take action.

No bomb that ever bursts shatters the crystal spirit: With Farid and others in a British prison
By Kevin Annett
I wear as a badge of honor my deportation from a country of liars and cut throats.
- Big Bill Haywood, IWW leader and revolutionary, 1920
The filthy fiction calling itself the Crown of England finally vomited me from its midst this week, only five days before I was to speak of its crimes at the annual Against Child Abuse Rally in London's Trafalgar Square.
I am proud to have shared a British prison with many freedom fighters over time, including my own ancestor Peter Annett; but also alongside nameless men and women who are caught today in the claws of the police state called Britain.
Here is what happened:
The room is small, unventilated, and foul-smelling, and crammed with ten of us. I am the only white person there.
A Malaysian mother with her four year old daughter sits in one corner, sobbing uncontrollably. Incarcerated for half a day, she’s one of the luckier ones: a young Turkish man called Farid has languished in here for nearly three days, isolated from his four children. Farid has lived in England for eleven years, doing sweat jobs and loyally paying his taxes, but tomorrow he’ll be deported over a technicality in his work visa.
There is no appeal allowed. His children will not accompany him.
This is the Immigration Prison in Stansted airport, outside London. The date is the early hours of May 30, 2011.
The net fell on me suddenly the night before, as I made my way through the border control desk after disembarking from the Netherlands.
A banal little twit in a uniform scanned my passport through his computer, and quickly looked shocked as he peered through thick lenses at the screen. He scuttled off to speak to his supervisor, who I watched through the glass window of his office as he looked at his own computer, nodded his head and said something to the twit.
Triumphantly – I guess he got extra points for bagging a suspected enemy of the state – Twit boy returned and informed me with a whine of condescension that my giving public lectures was “unusual” for a tourist, that I was "suspect", and would therefore be barred from entering England.
"What exactly am I suspected of doing?" I asked the guy.
“But first you are to come this way” he motioned, ignoring my question like I hadn't said anything, and we walked to a tiny holding cell. The Twit left me alone in there for a half hour, I guess to make me sweat, but when he returned I was calmly whistling an Irish melody that seemed to annoy him to no end.
“I bet you find your job difficult” I ventured to the Twit as he fiddled with his papers. Attempting a smile, he answered,
“No, actually one meets very fascinating people in this line of work” he replied.
“People like you, then?” I said, but I don’t think he got my joke.
The Twit refused to give me his name when I asked, nor could I know the name of his supervisor. He also wasn’t wearing a badge number, although later he made a gaff when he donned another coat and I saw his number: 6676.
“You’ll be in here tonight, until we can send you back from whence you came” Twit informed me, gesturing to a white door. He knocked, and a stern young guy answered who wore a vest labeled Reliance: the private company that profits off incarcerating people all over England.
Despair gazed back at me from the sad eyes of my fellow prisoners who lay or sat around the room. A TV was blaring mindless crap at them so I walked over and shut it off. The young Turkish guy, Farid, looked surprised.
After my obligatory finger printing and photographing – I asked the Reliance guy if I could have a copy of the picture, since I looked pretty good, but he said no – I was locked into the sparse room with everyone, and told not to speak to any of them since that was against the rules. I just smiled.
Most of the detainees didn’t want to talk. It was nearly midnight by then, and like anyone, they had adapted to their incarceration and were mired in themselves. But Farid was too filled with grief about being robbed of his children to settle into apathy.
“I will never see them again. They will be put with other families and then anything can happen to them. My youngest son is only a baby.”
I remembered reading the day before how 586 children placed in the foster care system in England had somehow disappeared over the past year. Local child welfare officials had given no explanation concerning their fate.
Farid taught me some Turkish words that night, starting with “I love you” – it sounded like “selly sev yurum”. He laughed for the first time when he commented how the phrase might come in handy if I ever came to his country, but not if I said it to a man.
“That’s not what I hear” I replied, and he laughed even harder.
We held back the demons together during those slow and weary hours, as the others tried to sleep, and didn’t, and the Malaysian woman sang to her daughter while the Reliance thugs stared at us through a thick pane of glass.
It ended for me at 6 am, when I was taken to a plane that would fly me back to Eindhoven. I said goodbye to Farid and wished him luck.
He took my hand and said “Allah”, pressing his other hand against his chest, and then pointing to my heart.
I recalled then the last words in George Orwell's book Homage to Catalonia, in which he describes briefly meeting an Italian militia man who like Orwell was fighting Franco and his fascists during the Spanish civil war. They couldn't speak one another's language, but they shook hands and departed in different directions for the front lines, and Orwell never saw the Italian man again.
In memory to this unknown stranger who had briefly taken his hand in comradeship, and who had probably died, Orwell wrote a poem to him that concluded,
But the look I saw in your eyes, no power can disinherit.
No bomb that ever burst shatters the crystal spirit.
The night after my deportation, I stood in a crowd of singing and laughing revelers in a Dublin pub, tasting my freedom like a soothing ale, and thinking of where Farid might be. I never felt unfree in jail; nor did anything there or in his own agony stop Farid from laughing.
As someone commented to me today, the more they repress us, the sharper and stronger we get. I feel inwardly clarified after the ordeal, and from the sounds of things, what happened to me is simply boomeranging back on the British government and its obvious and quite clumsy attempts to stop our Tribunal this fall.
So be of good cheer, and let that hope propel your body and your life to continue to accompany your words. But never forget Farid, and his children ... and that which is trying to jail all of us.

"True
religion undefiled is this: To make restitution of the earth which has been taken and held from the common people by the power of Conquests, and so set the oppressed free by placing all land in common." - Gerrard Winstanley, 1650
"We will bring to light the hidden works of darkness and drive falsity to the bottomless pit. For all doctrines founded in fraud or nursed by fear shall be confounded by Truth."
- Kevin's ancestor Peter Annett, writing in The Free Inquirer, October 17, 1761, just before being imprisoned by the English crown for "blasphemous libel"
"I gave Kevin Annett his Indian name, Eagle Strong Voice, in 2004 when I adopted him into our Anishinabe Nation. He carries that name proudly because he is doing the job he was sent to do, to tell his people of their wrongs. He speaks strongly and with truth. He speaks for our stolen and murdered children. I ask everyone to listen to him and welcome him."

ACTION ALERT
Grassy Narrows grassroots women are blocking the MNR from accessingtheir territory right now!
Call the MNR Kenora office to express your support: (807)468-2501
Some points to make:
1. Respect the rights and safety of the Grassy Narrowswomen.
2. Stop threatening work crews repairing the Segeisse road. It is the only alternate emergency route out of Grassy Narrows and isessential to the ability of Grassy Narrows people to exercise theirTreaty rights.
2. Thousands of people are watching and supporting GrassyNarrows. This issue will not go away unless there isjustice.
3. Grassy Narrows has the right to determine what happens on theirterritory. We support them in their decisions.
4. We also support Grassy Narrows' call to end clearcut logging,and for justice on issues of mercury pollution and other contaminants.Background:

workers with a 10000 fine we need u to put our friends on alert for
our safety. Of course we will be peaceful and nonviolent. Meegwetch
for ur prayers
------------------------------------
SOME BACKGROUND::
since abitibi pulled out the mnr have stopped maintaining back roadsaround grassy narrows and many are now impassible. this is adeliberate attempt to pressure the community to allow clearcutting.
grassy narrows is repairing the roads themselves, but the government istrying to stop the repairs. the blockaders will be on the road tokeep the government out to allow the repairs to proceed.
without the back roads it is difficult for trappers, hunters, medicinegatherers and other traditional land users to access the territory toexercise their treaty rights, livelihood, and way of life.
the government usually gives public money to logging companies to buildand maintain roads. they have told grassy that without logging theywill not maintain roads, or allow grassy to maintain the roadsthemselves. this includes emergency access roads that provide theonly alternate road out in the case of forest fire or otheremergencies.
a similar action happened last fall. see the reports here:

the contractor ended up quitting yesterday as the serial numbers off hismachinery was taken and he was threatened by mnr that his equipment wouldbe seized if he did not stop work;
Today, our community men have vowed to continue the work of thecontractor and try and finish up today....we will be out there and canreceive texts. but if people can coordinate themselves to receiveone text message and they report to each other would be the best forus

Grassy Narrows women block MNR enforcement
MNR seeking to stop repairs to only alternate emergency route out ofthe community
Asubpeeschoseewagong - Grassy Narrows' high profile loggingblockade saw action again today as grassroots women blocked passage forMinistry of Natural Resources (MNR ) enforcement officers interferingwith back-road repair work by the northwestern Ontario First Nationcommunity. The community is repairing a bridge over the SegeisseRoad to facilitate their ongoing use of their traditional territory, aright recognized under Treaty 3. The road also provides the onlyalternate route out of the community during forest fires, flooding, andother emergencies. The MNR has threatened $10,000 fines if the workis not halted, but today work continues behind the blockade line asgrassroots women taken action to block access to MNR officials.
"We the Anishinabek will never stop exercising our inherentright to use and protect the land, water and the forests," said JudyDa Silva, a Grassy Narrows mother, blockader, and traditionalhealer. “The same province that permitted paper mills to dump20,000 pounds of mercury into our river, and permits industrialclearcutting against our will claims to be protecting our environment bystopping road repairs.”
The roads have become impassible since the MNR halted maintenance onthe back road network in 2002 when grassroots women and youth put theirbodies on the line to block logging machinery from further destroying theforest their community depends on. Previously the back roads had beenmaintained by local contractors through provincial subsidies provided tothe logging industry. Grassy Narrows is repairing the roads attheir own expense, but the government is trying to stop them citing alack of provincial permits.
The back roads are used by Grassy Narrows members to access hunting,trapping, wild rice, medicine and berry picking areas. Communitymembers continue to depend on the land for their physical and culturalsustenance, and their livelihood, a right recognized under Treaty3.
"The MNR attempt to stop maintenance of the roads is an attackon our community's self sufficiency," said Roberta Keesick, a GrassyNarrows grandmother, trapper, and blockader. “It is another attemptby the Province to assert unilateral control over the Territory inviolation of our inherent and treaty rights."
The blockade, now in its nineth year, is the longest running blockadein Canadian history. Logging trucks feeding Weyerhaeuser's TrustJoist mill, and Abitibi pulp and paper mills shifted their clearcutlogging operations to more inaccessible parts of the territory until June2008 when AbitibiBowater bowed to pressure and surrendered their licenseto log on the Whiskey Jack Forest. However, Weyerhaeuser continuesto seek access to wood clearcut on Grassy Narrows Territory and the MNRhas unilaterally created a contingency logging plan for clearcutting onGrassy Narrows Territory.

* Betrayed by Yellowstone: Park Surrenders Buffalo for APHIS Experiments
These wild buffalo didn't get the freedom that Yellowstone said they would. Instead, they remain prisoners at the Corwin Springs bison prison, having been surrendered to USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for use in experiments with chemical sterilization. BFC file photos by Heather Callin. Click photos for larger image.
Yellowstone National Park has betrayed wild buffalo and the American people. Without giving public notice or seeking any input, Yellowstone National Park consigned fifty-three of America's last wild bison, captured during 2011, to the USDA Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) for a population control experiment. This move contradicts numerous public announcements from Yellowstone officials that all wild buffalo captured during 2011 would be released. USDA APHIS plans to use the buffalo to experiment with GonaCon, a chemical immunocontraceptive vaccine.
APHIS claims that they will need up to 100 buffalo for these sterilization experiments, and says that none of the buffalo will be returned to Yellowstone and many will be consigned to slaughter.

Wild buffalo flee the Montana Department of Livestock helicopter that descended upon Horse Butte this week. There are never any cattle on Horse Butte or surrounding Gallatin National Forest lands, lands that are the buffalo's birthright. BFC file photo by Darrell Geist. Click photo for larger image.
Beginning Wednesday, state and federal agencies descended upon Gallatin National Forest in full force with sixteen horsemen, an excess of law enforcement, and their helicopter to terrorize wild buffalo, forcing family groups with scores of new calves off of cattle-free public lands, deep into Yellowstone National Park. Every animal in the area felt the threat- grizzly bears, wolves, elk, moose, raptors, blue birds, even humans. The buffalo and all resident wildlife suffer this relentless abuse every year, without cause.
A Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks game warden hazing wild buffalo off cattle-free public land gets a warning look from a mother buffalo, who will defend her calf at all costs. Numerous bluff charges were seen during Wednesday's hazing operations. BFC file photo by Stephany. Click photo for larger image.
Little calves were frantically trying to keep up with their mothers, as the buffalo were hounded by cowboys riding for the Montana Department of Livestock, Yellowstone National Park, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, and USDA Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service, with support from Forest Service law enforcement. By Wednesday's end, the buffalo were chased nearly 15 miles to the barely greened-up hills of Yellowstone's Cougar Knoll.
They survived the winter, wolves, grizzly bears ... will they survive hazing? This little calf was run to exhaustion. Agents tried to cut this baby, its mom, and two yearlings away from the haze, but as buffalo always demonstrate, they need the safety of the herd. Mom tried to catch back up with the hazed family, and spent much more of her and her baby's energy doing so. It is not very likely that this little calf would survive the next seven miles of forced march to Cougar Knoll. BFC file photo by Stephany. Click photo for larger image.
Because no excuse can ever justify their brutal, unnecessary actions, the agencies tend to exaggerate. They claimed that over 500 wild buffalo were still roaming Montana, yet at the end of Wednesday's haze, with the helicopter scouring the landscape in every direction, wasting exorbitant amounts U.S. tax dollars to harass native wildlife, barely 200 had been discovered on the national forest. By the time the hazing ended at Cougar Knoll inside Yellowstone National Park, around 375 buffalo had been caught in the crossfires of these cruel and expensive escapades. A few groups remain in small areas west of Yellowstone, and it is for certain that as you read this today, agents are attempting to harass the buffalo that remain in Montana. But, showing how much of "threat" brucellosis really is, agents will take the weekend off from hazing.
Forced to travel many long miles on a hot day, without chance to drink or graze, any time the buffalo could, they would sneak a little grass before agents "yipped" and "yee-ha'd" them into movement. Some young bulls were heard roaring, vocalizing their serious distaste for how they were being treated. BFC file photo by Stephany. Click photo for larger image.
BFC patrols have eyes all over these hazes, watching and documenting all moves made against our friends the buffalo. These hazing operations take an especially hard toll on the new calves, who are not physically capable of enduring such strenuous, forced travel. For nearly fifteen miles, agents pushed them and gave them no rest, no chance to graze, no chance to nurse, no chance to do anything but flee their oppressors. Public sentiment is growing strongly against these nefarious activities, and more and more people are raising their support for the work of Buffalo Field Campaign and calling foul on these unnecessary, frivolous, and dangerous activities carried out by government-funded livestock interests.
Please keep the pressure on. You are making a difference!

* NEW ACTIONS TO TAKE!
1. Contact Gallatin National Forest Supervisor Mary Erickson and ask her how, after allowing the state of Montana to chase wild buffalo off the National Forest, she is fulfilling the Forest Service's legal mandate to provide habitat for wild buffalo, and why she allows native wild bison to be forced off of public lands habitat where there are never any cattle. TAKE ACTION!
2. Contact Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk and USDA APHIS Western Regional Director Brian McCluskey and tell them that it is not acceptable for wild buffalo, which are ecologically extinct, to be surrendered without public notice or input for experiments with chemical sterilization. TAKE ACTION: Email Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk AND Email USDA-APHIS Rep. Brian McCluskey
3. Contact your members of Congress and urge them to bring an end to the Interagency Bison Management Plan and re-direct federal funding towards habitat-based solutions for wild buffalo. If your members of Congress are unfamiliar with this issue, urge them to contact Buffalo Field Campaign.
TAKE ACTION!
4. Write Letters to the Editor in support of protecting America's last wild buffalo.
TAKE ACTION!
Thank You! Spread the word to save these herds! Please share these action links on FaceBook, blogs, etc.

* Spend Summer in Yellowstone with BFC!
BFC's summer tabling crew is forming, and we could use a few more volunteers. Come to Yellowstone country and help us talk with millions of visitors to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. BFC provides food, lodging, camping, gear, and transportation to and from our table in the Park. We ask for at least a three week commitment in order to accommodate training and orientation. This is a great opportunity to get involved and advocate for America's last wild buffalo! Please contact Tony for more information.

* BFC Wish List: Darrell Needs a New Computer!!
BFC's stellar and hard-working Habitat Coordinator, Darrell Geist, is in need of a new computer. Darrell's current computer has been a faithful work horse for years, helping Darrell craft important briefing papers, develop extensive public comments, engage in solidarity work with Tribal interests, draft legal strategies, conduct vast amounts of research, disseminate critical information to colleagues and decision-makers, and helping him keep wild buffalo and their habitat in the face of everyone. Having given all its able to give, Darrell's computer is ready to retire.
