Mexico wall may be the next Standing Rock for Donald Trump

US president Donald Trump’s planned 1,600km barrier would transverse a Native Indian reservation, threatening its sovereignty and risking protests, says Bette Browne.            

NATIVE American tribes are up in arms against US president Donald Trump’s plan to build his wall against Mexican immigrants. Part of the wall would cut across lands they hold sacred.

The Tohono O’odham, whose reservation in southern Arizona straddles 120km of the US-Mexico border, along which the 1,600km wall is planned, have criticised the White House for not consulting them.
