American Psychological Association Weighs in on Trump’s Memorandum on DAPL
Published January 29, 2017
WASHINGTON — Longtime activist Winona LaDuke says
the actions to ignore the wishes of water protectors at Standing Rock in
North Dakota seek to dehumanize American Indians.
The American Psychological Association weighed in this past week
after President Trump’s issuance of a presidential memorandum regarding
construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline with this statement:
“The American Psychological Association is concerned by President
Trump’s apparent attempt to clear the way for the Dakota Access Pipeline
to move forward as originally planned, which threatens the welfare of
the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
“Native Americans have been historically marginalized and mistreated
by the United States. Research has linked historical trauma to health
disparities, including increased likelihood of early death due to
substance abuse, unintentional injuries, assault, homicide and suicide.
“APA urges the Army Corps of Engineers to continue to search for
alternative routes for the oil pipeline that do not endanger the water
supply, sacred burial grounds and treaty rights of the Standing Rock
Sioux. It is critical for the corps to consult with the tribe in this
process, as stipulated in the December 16 memorandum by the assistant
secretary of the Army for civil works that halted construction on the
pipeline project pending further review.
“This pipeline affects not only Native American citizens but
millions of American citizens downstream, who are at risk of suffering
the effects of possible exposure to toxic oil spills and dealing with
harm to the environment.
“Given our skills as psychologists, we stand ready to participate in
constructive problem resolution, as well as provide support for those
who were and remain in harm’s way — physically, psychologically and
spiritually.
“We ask that the new administration not repeat the mistakes of the
past, and that it respect the sovereignty, welfare and culture of our
native peoples.”

ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
