“Mní wičhóni” (Water Is Life).

Raining in Lenapehoking (New York City) a few days before the New Year 2025. Water is Life!

“The Lakota phrase “Mní wičhóni,” or “Water is life,” was the protest anthem from Standing Rock heard around the world, but it also has a spiritual meaning rooted in indigenous worldviews and our connection to nature. For Native Americans, water does not only sustain life – it is sacred. As grassroots collectives fight all over the world to protect our rivers and watersheds, we must always remember to honor the spiritual foundations underlying these battles. Water is life.”_Bioneers

HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGES IN CENTRAL PARK.

It's very cold and horses are still being forced to work. BAN horse-drawn carriages in New York City. BOYCOTT horse-drawn carriages in NYC and in other cities.

Democrat politicians control the government in New York City. Politicians of the Democratic Party CAN STOP the abuse of horses in NYC. Democrat politicians can pass a law to BAN horse-drawn carriages in "The Big Apple."

MANAHATTA, LENAPEHOKING.

Before New York City, there was Lenapehoking, the ancestral land of the Lenape people. Forcibly displaced by White European invaders, their land was stolen to create settler states. We live on stolen land. LAND BACK NOW!

Lenapehoking translated as 'homelands of the Lenape'. The territory of the Lenape people before White Europeans invaders arrived was known to them as Lenapehoking, and it covered roughly the area between New York City and Philadelphia, including all of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and part of the state of Delaware.

The Lenape, New York City and Manhattan’s original inhabitants, called the island Manahatta, which means “hilly island.” White European invaders stole Manahatta and all of New York City from the Lenape people.
