Speaking out for resistance against colonization and uniting in solidarity, Mohawks, Mic'mac, Anishinabe, Lakota, Hopi, Navajo and O'odham were among 547 Indigenous delegates and 800 observers at the Zapatistas' encuentro at Vicam Pueblo in Sonora, Mexico. Rising up against the ongoing oppression in Mexico, Subcomandante Marcos said the delegation from Chiapas was subjected to violent harassment from the military.
