\u201cWe demand the immediate cancellation of all arrest warrants and fabrication of crimes against members of the Yaqui Tribe, and we condemn the criminalization of their struggle. We say to the bad governments that come from the political parties: the Yaqui River has served as the historical carrier and ancestral continuation of the Yaqui Tribe\u2019s culture and territory. We who make up the National Indigenous Congress reiterate that if you touch any of us, you touch all of us, and we will respond accordingly to any attempt to repress the Yaqui\u2019s dignified struggle or any other struggle.” (Joint communiqu\u00e9 from the CNI-EZLN, July 7, 2013, Caracol of Oventic).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
They have not been able to kill our peoples. Like seeds, we continue to grow. They tried to kill us with guns, and when they couldn\u2019t, they tried to kill us with diseases, and again they failed. The powerful have tried many ways to kill off the indigenous.<\/p>\n
Today they want to kill us with wind turbines, highways, mines, dams, airports, and narcotrafficking. Above all, today in particular, we feel the pain of the attempt to kill us in Sonora, with aqueducts.<\/p>\n
This past Thursday, September 11, people who apparently belong to the Sonora State Attorney General\u2019s office detained our brother Mario Luna, spokesperson for the Yaqui Tribe, falsely accusing him of crimes that they themselves planted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
El acueducto Independencia ni en broma es para que los pobres tengan agua y progreso, como lo nombran los de arriba, es para que los ricos se lleven el agua que por siglos le ha pertenecido a los yaquis. En vez de alimentar campos y sembrad\u00edos, quieren llevarse el agua para los grandes industriales de Sonora.<\/p>\n
Este despojo ha sido la bandera del progreso de los malos gobiernos, con Guillermo Padr\u00e9s El\u00edas, Gobernador del Estado y Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto, supremo jefe de los paramilitares a la cabeza del megaproyecto. Pero as\u00ed como el dictador Porfirio D\u00edaz proclam\u00f3 el exterminio de nuestros pueblos, y, particularmente el de la tribu yaqui, en nombre de ese progreso, nosotros sabemos que las palabrer\u00edas de Padr\u00e9s y Pe\u00f1a Nieto son mentiras, pues, que para que estos megaproyectos existan, los pueblos originarios debemos desaparecer, pero de una vez les decimos a los de arriba, que no est\u00e1 dentro de nuestros planes hacerlo. Si detuvieron a nuestro hermano Mario Luna, es porque se neg\u00f3 a venderse, a rendirse, porque ha sido hermano de lucha de todos los que queremos que este mundo cambie abajo y a la izquierda.<\/p>\n
Nosotros no les pedimos nada a los malos gobiernos, pues en este momento si les queremos decir en claro una cosa, que la libertad de nuestro compa\u00f1ero Mario Luna no les pertenece y que no se la pueden quitar as\u00ed nada m\u00e1s. Les decimos que esa libertad es suya y de su pueblo y que tienen que devolver lo que tomaron a la fuerza.<\/p>\n
A nuestro compa\u00f1ero Mario le decimos que nosotros caminamos juntos desde hace m\u00e1s de 500 a\u00f1os, que su tribu camina en la lucha, sin importar si los cobardes gobernantes los llevan como esclavos al otro lado del pa\u00eds, los yaquis vuelven a V\u00edcam, P\u00f3tam, T\u00f3rim, B\u00e1cum, Cocorit, Huiriris, Belem y Rahum, porque ah\u00ed es donde su sangre fluye; que nosotros somos yaquis, aunque tambi\u00e9n seamos zoques o mames o tojolabales o amuzgos o nahuas o zapotecos o \u00f1ahto o cualquier otra lengua y como yaquis que somos no vamos a dejar que nos roben nuestra agua y tampoco nuestra libertad.<\/p>\n
Exigimos la inmediata libertad de Mario Luna, exigimos la cancelaci\u00f3n de las \u00f3rdenes de aprehensi\u00f3n y la fabricaci\u00f3n de delitos en contra de integrantes de la tribu yaqui y, junto con ello, exigimos la libertad de tod@s nuestr@s pres@s y en particular la de nuestros hermanos nahuas Juan Carlos Flores Sol\u00eds y Enedina Rosas V\u00e9lez, presos por el mal gobierno desde abril de este a\u00f1o, acusados igualmente de falsos delitos, con el fin de frenar la lucha del Frente de Pueblos en Defensa del Agua y de la Tierra de Morelos, Puebla y Tlaxcala en contra del proyecto integral de Morelos.<\/p>\n

With this action they intend to imprison the very struggle of the Yaqui Tribe for defending its waters, which, after a long war, were recognized as theirs in 1940 by L\u00e1zaro C\u00e1rdenas. Since 2010, the money-owners want to again take these waters by way of the Independence Aqueduct, in violation of a resolution emitted by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and violating all of the rights given us by International Conventions on such matters.<\/p>\n
It is a joke to say that the Independence Aqueduct is so that the poor have water and progress, as those above say; it is so that the rich can take possession of the water that for centuries has belonged to the Yaquis. Instead of feeding fields and crops, they want to divert the water to large industrial companies in Sonora.<\/p>\n
This plunder has been the banner of progress for the bad governments, with State Governor Guillermo Padr\u00e9s El\u00edas and Supreme Paramilitary Chief Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto at the head of the project. Just as the dictator Porfirio D\u00edaz proclaimed the extermination of our peoples in the name of this kind of progress, in particular the extermination of the Yaqui Tribe, we know that the words of Padr\u00e9s and Pe\u00f1a Nieto are lies. For these megaprojects to exist, we originary peoples must disappear, and once and for all we tell those above that we have no plans to disappear. They detained our brother Mario Luna because he refused to sell out or give in, because he has been a brother in struggle to all of us who want this world to change below and to the left.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t ask anything of the bad governments, and at this moment we want to tell them clearly one thing: our compa\u00f1ero Mario Luna\u2019s freedom does not belong to them and they cannot take it away just like that. We want to make clear that his freedom belongs to him and his people, and that what was taken by force must be returned.<\/p>\n
To our compa\u00f1ero Mario we want to say that we have walked together for more than 500 years. His tribe walks the path of struggle; even if the cowardly government sends them as slaves to the other end of the country, the Yaquis return to V\u00edcam, P\u00f3tam, T\u00f3rim, B\u00e1cum, Cocorit, Huiriris, Belem and Rahum, because that is where their blood flows. We want to say that we are Yaquis, even though we might also be Zoques or Mames or Tojolobales or Amuzgos or Nahuas or Zapotecos or \u00d1ahto or we speak any other language, and as the Yaquis that we are we will not let them rob us of our water or our freedom.<\/p>\n
We demand Mario Luna\u2019s immediate release, and we demand the cancellation of all arrest warrants and fabrication of crimes against members of the Yaqui tribe. We also demand the freedom of all of our prisoners, in particular our Nahua brothers Juan Carlos Flores Sol\u00eds and Enedina Rosas V\u00e9lez, who were imprisoned by the bad government in April of this year and falsely accused of crimes in order to stop the struggle of the Peoples Front in Defense of Water and Land of Morelos, Puebla, and Tlaxcala, organized against the Integrated Morelos Project.<\/p>\n
