The MRF marathon event qualifies runners for the Boston Marathon as well.</div><div>Nava ran near mile 22 along W. Bruce St. and S. Muskego Ave., located in the underpass of the S. 16th Street (Father Groppi) Viaduct where Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) was able to photo and video document his historical running achievement and endurance as a Painani, an Aztec running messenger.<br />According to Nava, his Runkeeper app registered 27.1 miles due to cone markers being removed by Miller Park, which some runners including Nava ran extra for getting off the running route.<br />Chris Ponteri, Race Director for the Milwaukee Running Festival released the following statement, "During today's race, we became aware of an error on the course near the Hank Aaron trail, where it appears that race cones were kicked over by a bystander which caused a handful of runners to run an extra mile or two. Once our staff was aware of the error, we quickly put new cones in place and runners were back on course. We will be providing refunds to any runners who may have been impacted."<br /><div>Nava was among 3,000 marathon runners registered to run the full marathon. Nava's challenge was to run the marathon just 22 days before his 53rd birthday.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Video of Ernesto Nava running barefooted along the Milwaukee JS 26.2 miles Marathon  <a href="https://youtu.be/6tGGH0QVpYg">https://youtu.be/6tGGH0QVpYg</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsI7DrhdfDtREUXcMhPYMGW9F8k8ReUN3mOLlzJgA8kfLuMli-bqJ0TI0iYSP4tM74Z2DI7SIOMHKHCUfFrgoGGtsYd6P5cD-3eWkc4ZfTjbf3IaD5nywKIC1T2Q4KYImaNqK-lRxo0qs/s1600/Ernesto+Nava+2-721262.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6349975241287186066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsI7DrhdfDtREUXcMhPYMGW9F8k8ReUN3mOLlzJgA8kfLuMli-bqJ0TI0iYSP4tM74Z2DI7SIOMHKHCUfFrgoGGtsYd6P5cD-3eWkc4ZfTjbf3IaD5nywKIC1T2Q4KYImaNqK-lRxo0qs/s320/Ernesto+Nava+2-721262.jpg" /></a></div>Aztec runner, Ernesto Nava wearing an Aztec Traditional cultural outfit finished the Milwaukee JS 26.2 miles marathon in 4 hours, 13 minutes and 49 seconds.<br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGH9_Mo0eGyXzK6dbCwnDj1QBZM5fUmOJg3Wg16UodufAJLkiWQostwWjFhBgF5UcZ6xoyixGSWucHMlrU5EaxPVGt0sKBRkpEyIPZQ5MQ_zKMdeNyWSGHgb9Kes53b_zvBymSaQCRgsI/s1600/Ernesto+Nava+3-762784.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6350075489774587154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGH9_Mo0eGyXzK6dbCwnDj1QBZM5fUmOJg3Wg16UodufAJLkiWQostwWjFhBgF5UcZ6xoyixGSWucHMlrU5EaxPVGt0sKBRkpEyIPZQ5MQ_zKMdeNyWSGHgb9Kes53b_zvBymSaQCRgsI/s320/Ernesto+Nava+3-762784.jpg" /></a><br /><br /></div>

Nelson Goodson</div><div>Hispanic News Network U.S.A.</div><div><br></div><div>November 6, 2016</div><div><br></div><div>Cannon Ball, N. Dakota - On Saturday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR) sent a letter requesting for the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) Civil Rights Division and Office of Justice Programs to investigate the "possible constitutional rights violations in the police response to peaceful protesters demonstrating against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL)." The ACLU/LCCHR letter also calls for local law enforcement (Morton County Sheriff's Office - MCSO) to immediately suspend the use of any federally resourced military weapons and equipment. The letter was signed by Leadership Conference President & CEO Wade Henderson and Vice President Nancy Zirkin, and ACLU Washington Director Karin Johanson, according to the ACLU press release.</div><div>"The Department of Justice needs to immediately end the militarized and brutal response to protestors demonstrating against the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock," said ACLU Washington Director Karin Johanson. "The use of armored vehicles, beanbag bullets, pepper spray, and police in riot gear against protesters give us great reason to believe that the constitutional rights of those peacefully assembled to protest the Dakota Access pipeline have been violated by police. Even more disturbing is the possibility that these constitutional violations are occurring with weapons and resources from the federal government."</div><div>The MCSO deputies and assisting law enforcement officers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska and Indiana are accused of violating the rights of peaceful protesters (Native Americans-water protectors and allies) during #NoDAPL protests. On October 27, MCSO deputies, assisting cops, N. Dakota State Patrol officers and the National Guard launched a militarized assault on water protectors at N.D. Highway 1806 and demolished a makeshift camp ending with the arrest of 141 protesters. Many of the protesters were maced, shot with rubber bullets, beaten with batons and the cops used sonic military equipment against them to induce pain.</div><div>On November 1, Colonel John W. Henderson from the Army Corps of Engineers sent a letter to Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier requesting the use of law enforcement to engage peaceful protesters at the Cannon Ball River where the protesters were maced and rubber bullets fired at them and cops in boat even targeted and shot at a journalist while doing live news feeds from the scene.</div><div>Col. Henderson has since rescinded the letter and assistance from the MCSO after meeting with tribal leaders from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Tribal leaders have called for Col. Henderson to resign as district commander for prohibiting peaceful water protectors to pray on open federal public land by the Cannon Ball River, N. of the Oceti Sakowin Camp. The water protectors were trying to cross the river for a Native American ceremonial prayer at the Cannon Ball Ranch burial grounds where two indigenous women who previously owned the land, both Alma Parkin and Matilda Galpin were buried. </div><div>Other illegal acts committed by the MCSO have been video documented by the Native American media as well. Such alleged violations includes and not limited to broken treaties, illegal traffic stops, road blocks to prohibit protesters access to protest sites, illegal and warrantless seizures of property including media drones, shooting at media drones, targeting and arresting journalists for covering #NoDAPL news at scenes and filing frivolous charges against them for trespassing or rioting on tribal land under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie.</div><div>Native Americans claimed that DAPL has intentionally desecrated burial grounds and markers. Recently, it was discovered that DAPL had found Native American cultural artifacts while constructing the pipeline and failed to notify the Public Service Commission (PSC) in N. Dakota until ten days later after the PSC learned of the incident from a third party. DAPL rerouted the pipeline, but the three member commission of the PSC will file a complaint against DAPL, which is now facing between $10,000 per day or a maximum of $200,000 in fines.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

Dakota State Patrol, National Guard and the Morton County Sheriff's Office after last Thursday's eviction of Native Americans and allies from a makeshift northern camp along Hwy 1806 in an act of disrespect, authorities deliberately destroyed and trashed water protectors sacred belongings under DAPL's security supervision.<br /><div><br /></div><div>By H. Nelson Goodson</div><div>Hispanic News Network U.S.A.</div><div><br /></div><div>November 2, 2016</div><div><br /></div><div>Cannon Ball, N. Dakota - On Wednesday, the Morton County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) authorized the release of all items, articles, tents and sacred belongings of Native Americans and allies that were confiscated from the north makeshift camp at Highway 1806 in the path of the Dakota Access Pipeline. At least four roll-off garbage containers were used to dump the belongings confiscated by authorities on October 27 to the northern camp of Oceti Sakowin Camp, the Indigenous Life Movement reported.</div><div>Some sacred and religious articles were among what Native Americans are describing as destroyed by authorities with disregard and disrespect to indigenous religious beliefs. The MCSO instead of setting the items aside to clear the path of the DAPL pipeline, they trashed all the water protectors items including sacred belongings fueling criticism how they handle the eviction from tribal land of the #NoDAPL protesters.</div><div>The MCSO police assault on Native Americans and allies last week has generated more than several million Americans to support and Stand with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe against DAPL. Protests against DAPL around the U.S. is taking place, especially at banks who have loan money to DAPL.</div><div>Hillary Clinton (D) who is running for president has yet to condemn the MCSO police assault and eviction of water protectors from tribal land under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie near Cannon Ball. Donald Trump (R) who is running for president as well has invested $1M on DAPL/ETP (ETP-Energy Transfer Partners) and in return received $103K in donations by the pipeline CEO to elect him and donated more than $66K to the RNC, the Guardian reported.</div><div>The DAPL pipeline has illegally reached the Missouri River, despite three mile restrictions set by the Obama administration and the lack of an easement permit by the Army Corps of Engineers.</div><div>The land known as the Cannon Ball Ranch was sold to DAPL by David and Brenda Meyer, but the N. Dakota State Attorney under a state law says, DAPL might not be entitled to the land because the land can only be used for a business development or family farming and not a crude oil pipeline. DAPL had until October 27 to explain the purpose of the land purchase and use, but has not responded, according to N.D. state sources.</div><div>Obama in an interview yesterday told the host that he will let the DAPL pipeline play out for the next couple of weeks and didn't seem to know that the pipeline construction has reached the Missouri River/Oahe Lake and DAPL is in the process to begin drilling under the river for the pipeline to cross to the other side without an easement permit.</div><div>Last week, 141 water protectors were arrested, kept in what Native Americans described as dog kennels while being processed at the MCSO jail. An estimated 301 water protectors have been arrested since last August and many have been frivolously charged with rioting.</div><div>So far, 750 oil spills have occurred in N. Dakota, since 2012 including 300 within a two year period and only one has been reported to the public, the AP reported. It took 11 days for state officials and oil companies involved in the oil spills to release the information to AP.</div><div><br /></div><div>Video: Native American sacred belongings trashed by the Morton County Sheriff's Office <a href="http://goo.gl/Pi93mW">http://goo.gl/Pi93mW</a><br /><br /><br />In Brief: The Morton County Sheriff's Office reported Wednesday that, law enforcement is currently engaged in a standoff on the shoreline of the Cantapeta Creek north of the main camp area. Protesters built a man-made, wooden pedestrian bridge this morning which was pulled apart by law enforcement. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has given Morton County orders to remove the bridge and arrest any individuals who cross the river for criminal trespass. This is east of the Backwater Bridge, north of the main camp area.<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div>Indigenous Rising Media is reporting that, there are two confrontation zones happening. One on hwy 1806 at the backwater bridge and the second at a stream crossing to the NE of Oceti Sakowin camp.  No one is raiding the camp.

Nelson Goodson</div><div>Hispanic News Network U.S.A.</div><div><br></div><div>November 1, 2016</div><div><br></div><div>Mandan, N. Dakota - On Monday, the Morton County Sheriff's Office reported that Red Fawn Fallis, 37, has been charged with one felony count for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer for discharging a .38 Cal. handgun at arresting officers on October 27. Morton County Sheriff deputies and assisting law enforcement officers launched an eviction assault against Native Americans and allies (water protectors-WP) at Highway 1806 where they had setup camp to block the illegal Dakota Access Pipeline  (DAPL). Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier claims that the WP were trespassing on private land, but the WP say it is tribal land under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. </div><div>DAPL had bought the land to construct the unpopular crude oil pipeline, but the purchase is in question because the land under N.D. state can only be used for a business and family farming, which excludes an oil pipeline.</div><div>Also, the Army Corp of Engineers has not granted an easement for DAPL to construct a pipeline in that portion of the land, which is near the Missouri River.</div><div>During a police assault to remove WP from the land, police siting from seven states used maced, rubber bullets, a sound cannon and concussion grenades, which injured about 40 WPs. Two teen riders were among the injured by rubber bullets while on horse back, one of them was arrested, one horse was injured by a projectile fired by police and another horse had to be killed after it sustained serious injuries.</div><div>At least 141 WPs were arrested including Fallis. According to N. Dakota State Patrol Captain Bryan Niewind, while Fallis was being taken into custody during the police assault, she managed to pull a .38 handgun and fired three shots missing officers at the scene. Captain Niewind didn't say, if Fallis had a conceal carry license.</div><div>WPs and tribal leaders dispute the allegations made by Captain Niewind and Sheriff Kirchmeier who have been making untrue allegations and have been caught doing so.</div><div>Morton County Sheriff deputies and assisting police have been accused of numerous illegal acts such as warrantless seizures of property, illegal stops and road blocks and frivolous charging of WPs including journalists with rioting.</div><div>So far, 750 oil spills have occurred in N. Dakota, since 2012 including 300 within a two year period and only one has been reported to the public, the AP reported. It took 11 days for state officials and oil companies involved in the oil spills to release the information to AP.</div><div>Tribal leaders alleged that state officials, the governor, some state legislators and Sheriff Kirchmeier are so corrupt who have enaged in discriminatory practices against Native Americans and support DAPL oil interests.</div><div>Since last Thursday's police assault on WPs, millions of Americans have stepped forward in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who are challenging the illegal DAPL pipeline construction on tribal land, the desecration of burial markers/sites and the proposed pipeline under the Missouri River for fear of anew anticipated major oil spill that would effect over 17M people along the river.</div><div>The Red Owl Legal Collective reported on Monday, that they were at the Morton County Court house providing court support to water protectors on bond hearings and preliminary hearings. In the Mason Red Wing's case, the judge did not find probable cause for the felony terrorizing of a police officer charge, but did advance the felony reckless endangerment charge.<br>For the Wanikiyewin Wi Loud Hawk's case, the judge did not find probable cause for the felony reckless endangerment charge and reduced it to a misdemeanor.<br></div><div><br></div>
