TONATIERRA: Letter to G4S "Cease and Desist" at Standing Rock

Indigenous Peoples Against the Trans Pacific Partnership

October 31, 2016

G4S, plc

3410 E University Drive, Suite 180

Phoenix, AZ 85034

Greetings. We have received information that G4S security personnel have been directly involved in the violence inflicted upon the Indigenous Peoples Water Defenders of the Oceti Sakuwin at Standing Rock North Dakota, and other friends and allies of the Peoples Protectorate of the Missouri River Watershed.

The purpose of this letter is twofold:

Please provide for public review the particulars of internal review process that G4S is engaged in presently to address and correct the Human Rights violations of your personnel in their actions at Standing Rock from April 1, 2016 to the present.  If no such review is being effected, explain why not.

Until these issues are righteously resolved under the Rule of Law, not merely disguised with the racist juridical perfume of the Law of the Rulers as has come to be imposed upon the Oceti Sakuwin territories in direct consequence of the nefarious Doctrine of Discovery (1492), the Johnson v M’Intosh SCOTUS decision (1823), and the genocidal blitzkrieg of the Doctrine of Manifest Destiny (1845) we demand:

G4S MUST CEASE AND DESIST

All activities in contract to the Dakota Access Pipeline, and call back your personnel under the risk of facing the charge of War Crimes against the Indigenous Peoples of the Oceti Sekuwin Territories and their allies of the Peoples Protectorate of the Missouri River Watershed.

Signed,

Tupac Enrique Acosta
