One Hundred Small Apes.

Happy birthday, Lyudmila Pavlichenko! (July 12, 1916)

I am a mother of two little girls, and my greatest fear is not being able to stay by their side when they need me the most.

My health condition is very difficult. I previously underwent surgery, but my health remains fragile and continues to decline. We have no source of income, and my children’s father is injured, which makes our situation even harder.

My children and I suffer from malnutrition, and my daughter has iron deficiency and needs care and medication that I cannot afford. Even basic necessities like food and medical treatment are beyond my ability right now.

I am not asking for luxury… only for a chance to receive treatment and stay alive for my daughters.

Even $30 could help cover part of my medical and medication costs.

Please do not leave us alone in this hardship.

Your support, no matter how small, can make a real difference in our lives.

Sharing this post could help save a family.

September 18, 1990 -  When developers and the town of Oka wanted to start building a golf course on stolen land that belonged to them and that contained a sacred grove and a burial ground, the Mohawk tribe around Kanehsatake, Quebec, rose up and occupied the area. 

Mohawk people from nearby Kahnawake supported the occupation by blockading an important bridge. The army landed on Tekakwitha island to search houses of supporters of the occupation, but met fierce resistance.

The mayor of Oka sent in SWAT teams to make the construction possible. 

After chasing off the police and construction workers, members of the tribe use a front-end loader that was left behind to build barricades from the abandoned police vehicles, blockading a highway. Ultimately the stand-off with the police and the Canadian army lasted 78 days.

Ultimately the stand-off with the police and the Canadian army lasted 78 days before the warriors gave up the occupation. The building of the golf course was cancelled.
